The lyric is "Who am I to question you?" not "I like to question you." Questioning God is not an enjoyable pasttime of folks. Even theologians and preachers would rather declare what they think and believe instead of deliberately inquiring of God.
Punk rock isn't just an image of callousness and violence. The truth is it comes from people cast off by society so there is a strain of deep sympathy and conscientiousness beneath a lot of these songs. There's a lot of music out there that's just about touring or about abstract things like consciousness or pop music that's directed straight at the ego, sensuality or at people's desire to divide up and form cliques, parties, nations, etc. There's a lot of music that's played just to isolate people from their troubles by entertaining them with music that has all the complexity of a nursery rhyme (Christian rock, contemporary, etc.). And then there's punk rock which is honest and truthful about the realities of people with all their inner neuroses, feelings, complexities.
We don't always have all the answers to our present day to day drama, and sometimes it's the strangest things that awaken us to that transcendental reality of what exists beyond our present. I think that's the theme of the song. Let yourself feel God's presence in all those moments.
It's not your typical punk rock song, but that's why it had to be written.
