Knowing the wrathful nature of god(s) and the solemn and benevolent nature of such a boon, asking for more wishes seems unabashed and very risky to me...
I'd ask him...
1. ...to grant me health and immunity to diseases (includes parasites, bacterial and viral infections, age-related pathologies etc.)
2. ...to settle religious conflicts by revealing the truth openly to anyone and playing a more active role in our lives
3. ...to grant illimited research grants to scientists! :P
I doubt that could be enjoyably sustainable. A lesser elation would be viewed as negative, so you'd just be getting higher and higher to the point where happiness becomes asymptotic.
I love how there are two posts in a row (nicho and philj) that ask for the removal of free will.
This is a difficult problem, curing all disease would also require a change in the biology of the planet either through the Immortal Procreation Clause or interplanetary travel, because without the checks and balances currently in place humanity will overrun the natural resources available.
I also can't see myself asking for interplanetary travel, seeing as considering the current general nature, humanity could cause some massive trouble if unleashed among the stars (read: Indian Wars).

Didn't ask for it. If I ask for world peace/prosperity, it would somehow mean that the magical being has somehow construed the world in such a fashion that it is possible. It's a wish, if we're going to place reality checking barriers then all our wishes will be null and void. Unless you mean the removal of all religions would somehow remove our free will? Because free will does not stem from a magical theology.
I'm not understanding why this doesn't belong in The Tavern. It's the exact same as a thread asking what three wishes you would ask of a genie, except it's the Christian god that is the one granting the requests.
And why is everyone getting upset about freewill? That was never an issue with genies...
wow... im so different from everybody. i have 2 reasons for not asking the above (espacially world peace).
i think it would be better to reach it by ourselves as people through understanding. it might never happen but idk... just puff and we are all in piece... it seems kind of... empty.
and the more important reason: IM A KID
1. to fly 2. to control ice 3. to breath under....no... deep sea creatures are scary... ummm... SPEAK TO ANIMALS.
