Jesus. He is the man of all men.

Hatred to sum it all up. If we can sit down and listen to others we can fix the problems we have.
-What is the source of the hatred we see? It stems from not accepting others’ beliefs.

Yes we were put here for a purpose. Some have a bigger purpose than others.
-What is your purpose? To raise my son to do the right thing. Perhaps my smaller purpose is involved in influencing the bigger picture.
-Who were we “put” here by? God

It does not matter what one believes. There is no one religion which is better than another. That is why I have no religious preference.
-What about those people who fly planes into buildings because of what they believe? That’s a good point.
-How do you determine what is right? The Bible.
-Is the Bible the universal standard of morality? It is mine, but not the world’s
-Should the Bible be the world’s standard of morality? Maybe.
-Does it matter what people believe? Yes.

Yes; there is heaven and hell.

-Should everyone accept Jesus as Lord and Savior? Yes they should.
-If you can do enough good to get to heaven, then why did Jesus have to die for us? I don’t know. That is a good point.

Hypatia who was a 4th century A.D. astronomer and philosopher.

I think our biggest problem is not being able to put differences aside and make the best choice for our future regardless of the cost. If humans could do that we could more quickly fix hunger, pollution, and overpopulation.

No purpose, just to live.

I think it does. Everyone interprets their religion differently than trying to have just common morals that do not harm others.

I wish there was an afterlife (evidence of it) but I do not currently believe it exists.

evolution

Because as we have evolved to have the capacity to have more complex thoughts and more neural networks, we have learned of morality and therefore long for an afterlife. Love, truth, and beauty are abstract thoughts that have come to describe things, most or all human experience

I would meet Jesus because he seems amazing.

I think our biggest problem is division because it leads to every other problem we see like racism, war, poverty, etc.

I think everyone is put on earth for a purpose. I think the bigger purpose for existence is love.

No. Because I believe everyones religion should be respected even if I don’t personally believe in it.

I believe that the afterlife is real and people go to heaven of hell. I think to get to a better place you need to take care of yourself spiritually and believe that there is a better place after death.

I believe there is an afterlife.

I believe there is an afterlife.
