The Transit Lounge team  People of faith read about God, talk about God and pray to God, but individual images of God can vary wildly. Most non-believers also have an image of what kind of God they don’t believe in. But what would you do if you actually met God? The Transit Lounge asked a selection of people (Christian, atheist and agnostic) three questions.
If you were going to meet God:
1. what would you wear?
2. what would you say?
3. where would you take God lunch?
Greg, 50
1. Something slimming.
2. Hi, God.
3. A pub lunch. I reckon God would enjoy a schooner or two. Adrian, 34
1. Whatever I managed to put on that day — maybe my Faithless t-shirt that says “god is a DJ”. That should spark a good conversation.
2. Thank him for my family and ask if my ministry/life is doing the right stuff (am I using my powers for good or evil).
3. I think we would go for a fair trade latte and cake up the road in a cafe then back to my house for red wine with finger food and to play with the kids. JJ, 8 (Adrian’s son)
1. Good clothes.
2. Talk about what is happening in life and stuff.
3. T a restaurant or back home for dinner and to hangout with the family. Sarah, 25
1. I meet God every day (he looks like all the people I encounter in my life).
2. I would wear and say whatever I happen to be wearing and saying.
3. I'd have to take him to Taka's kitchen because it's the only place I can afford to shout him a meal. Zoe, 25
1. I’d wear a white dress.
2. I’d say, “I should have believed!”
3. We’d go to the fish markets for lunch. Pene, 32
1. I would wear some comfy jeans, trainers and t-shirt — after all he knows when I am putting on a front.
2. I would say, "Hey God, been a while."
3. I would suggest a fine restaurant however God would probably say, “Let’s meet at the park. I will bring the fish, you bring the loaves and we will see what comes of it.” Wendy, 34
1. A pretty dress and bare feet.
2. Thank you for the gift of my children and the beautiful relationships in my life.
3. Sushi or curry, depending on the weather. Bryn, 32
1. I'd wear a Rolling Stones t-shirt with a "Sympathy for the Devil" caption.
2. I'd say, "About time you put in an appearance."
3. We'd go to the Red Emperor restaurant in Southgate for yum cha lunch and pay the "all you can eat" option. Oh, and he's paying. Michael, 21
1. A beanie and warm clothes.
2. Well, I’ve organised lunch what are you organising for dinner? No…What do you want of me in life?
3. King’s Canyon in Western Australia for an outdoors lunch on lamb shanks cooked on a camp oven. Jennifer, 21
1. A pretty dress.
2. I would ask for expensive champagne.
3. If I could go anywhere, I would go to the restaurant in Centrepoint Tower! Nikki, 22
1. Something comfy. Probably jeans and a t-shirt.
2. Thank you so much for creating me. Thanks for Jesus. How does he think I’m going in life? What can I improve on?
3. For a picnic lunch somewhere nice with lots of trees and a river. Sejla , 18
1. I dont think clothes would be a factor, I need not dress up nor hide who I am from God (ha!). I would be comfortable in my raggiest — God knows me, I do not fear him judging me by appearance.
2. I dont know what I would say. I think that would be dependant on the time during my life, what was going on and what was on my mind. Then again, wouldn’t it be wonderful to simply listen to God?
3. Lunch? Somewhere ethical, somewhere that has cultured a great community spirit.
Like Annalakshmi by the Swan River in Perth, or One World Cuisine.
