1. If you could ask God one question and you knew he would give you the answer, what would you ask?

2. Garry shared this quote by philosopher David Bently Hart: “One might well conclude that the world contains far too much misery for the pious idea of a good, loving and just God to be taken seriously, and that any alleged creator of the universe in which children suffer and die hardly deserves our devotion.” Do you agree or disagree? 

3. What are your thoughts about ‘free will’? 

4. Hebrews 2:18 says: Since he himself (Jesus) has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested. How does that verse change or reinforce your views about God in light of pain and suffering?
