    Since this is a God of some type being confirmed it seems like the easiest thing would be to put the onus of cleverness on his/her part. Why spend infinite time thinking up more and more specific questions to ask him/her?

    Just request a single testable hypothesis that provides specific evidence for his/her existence and role in the universe. Then the proof is just a matter of runnning the experiment and publishing it in Nature.

    The largest issue with spirituality is that it provides no specific neccessity why such being must be around. We know about gravity and such because the world doesn't work without it. Spiritual beings have demonstrated no such neccessity. Give me an experiment whose result cannot be explained without there being a God, and that God being you.
