You are walking down the street, headed in the direction of the nearest supermarket. You only want a bottle of milk. There is a road crossing before you arrive at your destination. You look left, and look right, nothing is coming. As you begin to cross the road a bright light appears to be coming toward you. You turn in the direction of the light and hear a loud horn being sounded. Suddenely everything goes black, you wake up in total darkness. You cannot feel anything, not even the floor you are lying on or whether your head is upright or not. A sudden chill runs down your spine and a sense of overwelming calmness washes over you.
A deep voice composed of many different voices whispers from the shadows. "I am the creator and the guardian of all things" It says.
"You may ask me one question, and one only, then I will send you back to your mortal body"

What do you ask /sci/?

"What happens when I die?"

I'd rather ask this than a way to prove him or anything since even if he really existed it might not have any impact on how I live or how society should live. There still might not be any afterlife or anything and he still might not interfere in the ways of man, so the most important answer to me would be what is the conclusion.

Intelligence on 4chan is cyclical. It peaks between noon and 2pm est, monday through thursday, then falls off as US schools begin letting out.

It reaches negative quantity during US school holidays.

Even if it lived, you still wouldn't have a good answer.

I got kicked out of philosophy class in college because I tore those bullshit questions in half!

"You cannot feel anything, not even the floor you are lying on or whether your head is upright or not. A sudden chill runs down your spine and a sense of overwelming calmness washes over you."

People go into drug wars in Columbia in order to get this feeling all of the time. It makes no sense to lose this sensation all because you felt like asking a dumb-ass question. Half of them are emotionally rhetorical anyway. Intelligent questions are uncomfortable for everyone. Just like castration is when offered to those who have undergone abortion.

If you are riding on tachyons, then returning to your body would be a bad idea. The planet would cease to exist. Radiation would be everywhere. Something nearby would implode and so on.
