| If you could travel back in time to any period, and meet any person who is historically significant, who would you want to meet and why? |
Buddha and Jesus. Would want to tell them where their religions evolved to and ask if that’s what they intended or if they would approve. |
| Out of all the problems that we are facing in our world today, what do you consider is our biggest problem and how do you think we can solve this problem? |
Environmental… Industrialized agriculture. Their companies are corrupting the govt. need to go back to community farms. |
| Do you think it is possible that you and I were put here on this earth for some kind of purpose? If so, what do you think that was? If not, why do you think so? |
No, but it’s human nature to desire meaning/purpose. To make the world better. Would need to see evidence that we were created with that desire for a specific purpose. |
| We live in a world that tends to believe, now more than ever, that all religions are equal and no one religion is better than another. In your opinion does it matter what someone believes? If not, why not, if so, why so? |
No. It depends on your culture. We can learn from all religions. |
| All religions have different beliefs about the afterlife but many seem to indicate that we go to a better place, if we do the right things in this life. What do you personally believe about the afterlife and what do you think we need to do in this life in order to get to this better place in the next life? |
Focus shouldn’t be on what I need to do to get there. Should focus on right now and making this moment better, this place, this community etc better. Not sure about the existence or environment of afterlife. |
| If you do not believe there is life after this life is over, where do you think we came from? |
Consciousness is hard to explain. Evolution of frontal lobes and prefrontal cortex. We are made of star stuff. Carl Sagan & Lawrence Krauss |
| If you do not believe there is life after this life is over, why is it difficult for us to avoid believing in non-material things like truth, love, beauty, goodness, etc…? |
She doesn’t believe they are connected and dependent on one another. Spiritual, but not religious. |

John the Baptist…very passionate guy (greatest man that ever lived) |
| Out of all the problems that we are facing in our world today, what do you consider is our biggest problem and how do you think we can solve this problem? |
The biggest problem is the church, who say they are Christians but aren’t really saved. A bad reflection on people who really love God. Not sure how to fix. |
| Do you think it is possible that you and I were put here on this earth for some kind of purpose? If so, what do you think that was? If not, why do you think so? |
Yes, absolutely. Only God knows what our purpose is. |
| We live in a world that tends to believe, now more than ever, that all religions are equal and no one religion is better than another. In your opinion does it matter what someone believes? If not, why not, if so, why so? |
It does matter, I believe there is truth and it’s the Gospel. |

Don’t think we can achieve eternal life on our own. Cause God is a just God we can go to have by accepting Christ. |
