God is not above being called to the witness stand, and is not, if it comes to that, beneath the right to ask some questions of His own. A judge is not exempt from the possibility of committing a crime merely because he is in the business of hearing charges against others. God does not appear to be as offended by the presence of the accusation against Him as by the absence of His opportunity to ask some questions in return. God is not opposed to trials per se, but sham trials are to Him an abomination. Either submit to a cross-examination or drop the charges, but don't expect to lob bombs at God and then refuse Him the dignity of returning fire.
God is not as afraid of your questions as you are of His. In fact, He is not afraid at all. But your fear consumes you. That is why you demand an audience with a caged lion and not a wild one. There's a reason why you long to haul Him into court rather than seek Him in the Sahara. For whatever reason. the accuser assumes the courtroom is a home court advantage. But the one who calls God to the stand demanding answers may just find that He does show up. But He sits down as the Judge, not the defendant, in response to the one who has no plans of taking the stand himself.
