... or, at least, a virtually Omnipotent, highly knowledgeable being.

I myself have always wanted to discuss metaphysics with such a being. It would be interesting to see if it's opinions on philosophical quandaries would match my own.

I'd totally ask him how often he gets annoyed at people insisting he isnt capable of creating evolution or a universe where the statistical probability of life coming about on its own wasnt zero.

Ask it to explain.

Explain what, you ask? Yes.

Probably just stare at it for a bit, and eventually try to sit down and ask it if it wants anything from us. I'd ask him if any of our human religions even mean anything, and perhaps tell a few off-color jokes.

ask if it's willing to be recorded demonstrating a tiny, nonlethal portion of its power.

Make sure I was a still alive first. If not alive ask what was going to happen next. If alive I would try and find out why I am meeting an extremely powerful being on my lonesome.

If it was actually the God that I follow? I want a hug.

If it's not, I don't know. Stare. Possibly ask some questions.

Yes, if you're omnipotent you're culpable in all things. And what sort of sick fuck lets that happen to kids?

Does power equal culpability if they take no action?

One with a perspective so alien we just can't possibly understand it, and from whose point of view life in general is to be regarded as less than a blip on the radar? (See also: Eldritch Abomination)

A few minutes of deep shock, I guess. After I gather my wits - bow politely, smile and let whatever is going to be be. If it is omniscient it already knows what I think, what I wish to ask and what is in my heart. Knowing that, it has already made a decision. Nothing I could do can change anything.

If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common

^^^^

Yeah, that's probably the reason I'd sit there and just stare at it for a bit in wonder. First words out of my mouth would probably be "So, can you answer the questions you know I have?"

Or quite simply "Why?"
