| 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, because Buddhism does not create any borders between religion and culture. |
| 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 creating division between religions, borders and culture. There has been more death for religion than war itself. Very difficult to say how to solve these problems because people are being brainwashed at such an early age. From generation to generation. |
| 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, I do believe that we were put here for a reason. To learn many lessons in life, as well as to learn to love unconditionally, help others along the road and be happy. |
| 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? |
In my opinion it does not matter what someone believes in. But if believing in something makes them a better person in this lifetime then they should go ahead. |
| 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? |
I believe that we do have an afterlife, and in this place we first review and look at our actions and intentions we had on earth. Depending on this one, antoher phase is hosen to keep evolving and growing. We must learn to love unconditionally and to be able to get to a better place in the next life. |
| If you do not believe there is life after this life is over, where do you think we came from? |

Honestly, can’t think of anyone. But I do remember long conversations with my grandpa who lived until the age of 98. |
| 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? |
Many of our children around the world are not being educated well at home. Everything starts at home. It would help to create more events and activities that are healthy for families and at the same time informative. |
| 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, we are here for a purpose which is to live, fear God and to love. |
| 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 doesn’t matter to me what someone believes. I’ve had several encounters and conversations with a lot of people from different religions and found each one very interesting. I have just held onto my beliefs I learned growing up. |

We must live a happy and good life, help others, love those around us, pray, and find God before we leave this life. |

Jesus because, if he was there, you would know he was true and would believe. |
| 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? |
Lack of education. We need to teach people to live together. |
| 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? |
It is hard to say. Our purpose should be to look out for ourselves and extend a hand to somebody. |
| 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 not matter as long as they do not harm anyone by their belief system. |

I hope there is. No one can know. How you live now matters. |
| If you do not believe there is life after this life is over, where do you think we came from? |
We come from aliens or evolution. We are evolving to who we are now. People are products of their environment. People do not think. Everything is sound bites. We become sheep. Moral values fall out. There is too much political correctness. |

| 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? |
I would want to meet Moses because of his bravery and love for his people |
| 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? |
Our biggest problem in the world is our divisiveness. The only way to overcome this is to be accepting of others and to be how God intended us to be; loving, kind and accepting. Only God can judge us and we need to stop judging each other |
| 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; I think my purpose is to raise God LOVING (not God fearing) young men |
| 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? |
I absolutely believe that all religions are equal. According to Judaism, we are the Chosen peoples but I don’t necessarily think that is so. Jews have been persecuted so much throughout history by the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, by modern day Christians….why would I believe we were the Chosen people when we can’t seem to catch a break? The answer is equality, love and acceptance. |
| 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? |
I do not believe there is an afterlife. |
| If you do not believe there is life after this life is over, where do you think we came from? |
I do believe I came from God. |
| 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…? |
Why wouldn’t we believe in non-material things? These are the ultimate gifts from God. |
