Michaelangelo's image of God
Some types of question are better than others.
For instance, the question "Does God exist?" is problematic. Why? Because it only permits a ‘yes' or ‘no' answer. Of course, a person can always say ‘I don't know', but that might not get us very far.
Also, this kind of question immediately gets people arguing. Some say ‘yes' to it, and others say ‘no', so there's a conflict; and this can waste a lot of time.
It is better to start with open questions, and questions on subjects that you already know something about. Then you can build on that knowledge.
A good question to begin exploring spirituality with is, "Who am I?" Everyone can answer that question. You just say, "I am..." and give your name. But, of course, each of us is much more than a name. Isn't that so? Each of us is a person.
