A wise person I would want to meet. My grandmother (mother’s side). I lived with her then she died. She growed my mother right.

I must solve my own problem(s) then I can help someone else. I want to be true in the theater of life. Someone has to kill the self and rise back to life again to see the solution. This will bring eternal life. This happens by your own self power. I explained to him how Christianity emphasizes dying to yourself so Christ lives in us; that Christ’s death is transmitted back to us so we can live in Jesus’ death, life, and power. It is not our own power. He was in agreement.

Our purpose is to save the universe. It’s a difficult problem but really simple; its our job to share with people spiritual things and wisdom. If you share with people this idea you will be blessed. I clarified, “What is the message?” The work that we are supposed to do to help people. I asked, “How do we get eternal life?” We already have achieved it. Being generous is important.

It doesn’t matter which religion. What’s important is those who cling to the spirit. I asked, “Which spirit?” The spirit of the Creator. We can’t see but we believe. The spirit is unique but available to everyone in the world. The spirit is personal “in us” but not personal in the world.

We must humble ourselves to do the right thing. If we humble ourselves we will do the right thing at the right time. Heaven is right he with us. We have to work to get to heaven. To help people. I asked, “How do you wipe away the sins you’ve committed?” I used the “Way of the Master” method with him. He answered, I don’t do those things now that the Holy Spirit helps him not to do those sins. Only his (God) foundation he established gives you the power. Its not of your own desires, it was on a foundation already existing before you’re born. I asked, “How do we who are imperfect tap God’s perfection?” He didn’t know. I said, “We need an outside source.” He was surprised when I explained how Jesus Christ IS that outside source. He expressed he had come to understand a “Master of the Universe” was the one in control. I explained to him further about what Jesus accomplished and what the Gospel is. I told him I’ll be around to share with him again.

John Compton, former Prime Minister of Saint Lucia. Why? Because he was a genuine leader who really cared for the Lucian people. Compton was very down to earth and himself loved to farm the land. He never had a body guard but mix freely with the people. Compton was also very effective implementing development on the island.

Lack of unity is the world’s biggest problem.

Our purpose to be fruitful and multiply. When I pressed him on the issue of “purpose” he added, “to cause others to do better in life or to ‘save’ many people because of your actions.”

His main objection was against hypocrisy. Overall he had a universal concept of doctrine toward spirituality with special understanding of Christianity.

Give your life to Christ and be honest. Honesty is key because the Creator knows all things. Miguel attends church only 1 time a year yet he seemed to understand the superficial parts of Christian spirituality.

He believes in life after this life, but he doesn’t know where we came from. He was not SURE if he would make it to heaven. He expressed the idea that this earth IS heaven. He didn’t understand the sacrificial system God used to wipe away our sins. In my post survey time I used numerous illustrations and scriptural explanations to explain these details to him. He was very receptive.

N/A – he didn’t have difficulty with this issue.

I would want to meet Jesus to see for myself. I would want to see the miracles as reassurance that Christianity is true. I would also want to hear the wisdom of Jesus.

The biggest problem is collectivism. By this I mean how divisive our culture is. I would encourage openmindedness. We need debate and discussion without emotions.

I do believe it is possible we are here for a purpose and I believe that purpose is to serve an overarching moral narrative which has been written by God. God is building a moral narrative, which includes tragedy in many ways, but He calls us to serve His good moral narrative.

It matters and I’m rather passionate about this issue. I reject all subjectivity. I believe in objective truth. But when it comes to morality, I can engage in the moral discussion but I cannot claim to know the truth. There is truth, but I can’t claim to know it because I am limited in knowledge so who am I to know if my moral stance is the correct one?

I do believe in the afterlife. I believe we come back. I’m not sure when or in what form. I think we come back based on what Jesus did, not our good works. Our good works are done out of obedience to Jesus as Lord. Good works do not save. Jesus is divine and sinless. People who do not believe in Jesus will be separated from believers.

I believe in an afterlife.

I do believe in the afterlife so I have no problem with these things.

Jesus. He would be the best at convincing me if Christianity is true. If it is true, it is the most important question.

The biggest problem is bullying. A bully is someone who likes to make others suffer or enjoys watching others suffer. The challenge in fixing this is, bullies don’t see themselves as bullies. Therefore, we must help people see the ramifications of their actions. We must increase empathy instead of shaming.

I don’t believe we have a purpose and I start there as my default position because I don’t believe there is a God. Technically, I suppose I’m technically agnostic since I grant it is possible that God exists. But I call myself atheist since I don’t believe He does. This seems like the right starting point and I see no reason to move from it unless evidence can convince me otherwise.

Yes, it does matter what we believe because the implicit prescriptions of various religions are different.

I’m agnostic about the afterlife yet somehow, I picture myself going to heaven because I tried to do the right thing. And trying is all we can do.

I guess I would say the evolutionary paradigm but, admittedly, consciousness is a real problem.

I have no idea! The biological explanation is boring and speculative.

Any painter or philosopher from the Roman period because I love art and culture. I can’t even choose one person, but Roman painters and philosophers have had a big impact on art and culture so any one of them.

The biggest problem is that people are too jaded. In order to solve this, we need more kindness. We need to express love by giving people the benefit of the doubt. How exactly we implement this change, I’m not sure.

I want to believe there is a purpose, but it is hard for me to believe because of all the evil and suffering in the world. That said, I see religions offering love, and that could indicate purpose.

It does matter what someone believes. There is something meaningful about people who follow their heart. But people can follow their heart in a good or bad way.

I’m agnostic about the existence of an afterlife. If there is an afterlife, it is probably a place free of suffering. If there is a heaven, I imagine it exists to help us learn from our mistakes. But we may only have so many strikes. If we strike out, we have to pay.

Maybe we just came from the earth.

It is difficult to avoid them because it feels good to believe in them. I like it more. What I like influences what I believe or embrace.
