A real question is simply one that, when answered, reveals something of significance. I don't doubt that you would answer that God would hold to the letter of the lease and fling the tenants out, probably causing them to be toasted to a crisp or devoured by bears as well. Many other Christians, drawing on the same body of scripture as you but choosing to emphasize different parts, would say that God would be as kind and generous as possible, overlooking all formal clauses stipulating immediate payment and giving his tenants as much latitude as possible. The answers reveal nothing whatsoever about God, if indeed there is one, which I've no reason to believe is the case. They do reveal a great deal about the people giving the answers. Are you some day going to be able to muster up enough courage and ask God for yourself? When I was young and still in the grip of a religious upbringing, I asked God many questions indeed. Still haven't had an answer.
