Abraham Lincoln – His integrity and his service and dedication to the country and his leadership in a tough time.

Mass migration of Islam. We could make it harder to immigrate.

Absolutely. Some kind of social experiment.

I think all religions are right for them. But I do not believe they are right. Yes, it matters what someone believes. I want others to have values that align with myself. Some religions are doing forceful things.

I am not convinced in an afterlife. If there is, to get there, you have to live in a certain moral code. The Bible seems like a good guide for behavior.

God

don’t know

Aristotle – He is within my collection of people with the highest density of high level thought and logic.

A lack of mindfulness. Most people are selfish and don’t see other people. Solved by limitation of human freedom – which isn’t possible. Also having effective parenting – we often improperly understand one another. If we can’t understand one another, how do really care. Home level is where it starts. The Home level is being deconstructed (homes without moms and dads). Because we are becoming a more secular world, there is no moral maxim to gauge yourself by.

A General purpose – do good unto others. I don’t know why.

All religions are not equal. I does and doesn’t matter. Let’s say there is a religion of “Bob” and they rearrange the Bible and twist it to be hateful. If they incline people to terrorism it would infringe on other people’s rights and freedom to live.

The concept of eternity regardless of pleasure or torture seems like it would strip a person of what makes a person a person. Thinking of the essence of living forever isn’t something I would like. This is my greatest barrier fully accepting Christianity

I wish there wasn’t – But I believe we came from a Creator (God)

I’d like to meet Felix Mendelssohn. Pick his mind about his composing, his conversion to Christianity.

Mental health. Poor mental health leads to gun violence, it leads to suicide, it leads to hate between individuals. It would change the stigma about therapy and make it more affordable.

Yes. To serve Jesus Christ and point others towards Him

Yes. We should believe in Christ as the messiah because he is God.

I believe if we believe that Jesus is God and serve Him then we will go to heaven.

If I could actually do that I would like to travel back and meet some of the great warriors….Leonidas, Alexander the Great, Sun Tzu, etc. Being a warrior for many years I would like to glean from them. I actually wish I could have done that before I joined the Army.

I would say its humans and religion.
Humans do not generally care for each other and generally don’t care for things around them, Probably the best relationship I have is with my dog; Pebbles.
No offense, but religion has caused so man people to do crazy things. I believe we would be better off without it.

I think your purpose is what you make it to be. I don’t know if there is some grand plan.

As I said earlier, I don’t see the value in religion. I don’t think it matters what you believe as long as you are doing your part…whatever that is.

I think you do what you can here and done worry about what happens next..

I don’t really know where we came from, I don’t spend too much time considering that.

I didn’t say I don’t believe it, I just don’t concern myself with that. As for truth, I believe its what you make it. I don’t things are always black and white, I think there is always gray area.

Ummm, I don’t really know if I would choose any specific person. I would actually like to go back to a specific time period and ask questions of the people there. Primarily because that’s where I think we have gone wrong, is relying on what one person or a specific group of people have to say. I would rather her from the collective.
That said, I guess I would want to go back to early 1900s. Just to see what did people in that era think about certain things and why they made some of the decisions they made on politics, race, land, etc.

I hope you don’t get upset with me, but religion and politics have done more damage to this world than anything else.
They ae the two most divisive institutions that claim to be unifying institutions.
I don’t know how to solve it, its so embedded. If completely and abruptly removed, it may cause more problems. BUT, if allowed to say it may surly do the same. Something has to change, I just don’t know what.

I think science has shown we are the product of evolution. So, I don’t know if there is some specific thing we are supposed to do. As a matter of fact, I believe this is some of what holds a lot of people back; they are overly concerned about trying to find that specific thing they are supposed to be doing all the while missing out on opportunities and not appreciating the people around them.

Well as I stated earlier, I don’t believe religion is value added, so I have no opinion if they are all created equal or not. Again, I believe generally they are detrimental to the progress of the human race. I am not saying there is nothing good that has come from religions, what I am saying is that overwhelmingly we see turmoil and disagreement. with that said I don’t think it matters if a person believes but I do think it matters what they believe in and why they believe it…and what they are willing to do for it; whatever that “it” is.

Again, I don’t want to offend you because I know you are a Christian, but most people use the afterlife philosophy to either inspire or scare people into being good while they are here. although I don’t think that’s a bad concept; why can’t we just be good to people without having to be teased with the heaven we’re scared with the hell?

I believe science has answered that question is that we basically evolved I can’t sit here and tell you specifically from what but from what I can gather over the course of a long time we evolved.

I guess you are asking me if the afterlife is real?
As for truth, I believe that’s typically in the eyes of the beholder or whoever is in power. As for love beauty and goodness, I don’t wanna sound dumb, but I guess those are just concepts that we have in my mind / our minds that we try to do the best and bring it to fruition.
