I would go insane kill some people and then be sent to shutter island.... I dont think any human could handle the awnsers to every question. I truly believe that some questions aren't suppose to be awnsered.

Without going in to religion too much, I would inform people of how the world was actually created, and then would tell them whether religions actually existed or not. I can't think of any more right now but those are the two big ones.

Errr....

I'm pretty sure religions do exist. I see their buildings all around the place.
I think you mean the mystical product that they market, does that really exist?
That isn't an attempt to start a religious discussion, I am just pointing out the flaw in the last post.

No, people believe in them but we don't know if they actually exist or not.

EDIT -

a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; "he lost his faith but not his morality"

The religion does exist. Whether they are right, or not, is up for debate. But the religions DO exist. The big mystery is whether or not the god(s) of any given religion exist. But, the religion itself does exist.

The concepts exist, yes. But the beliefs themselves are subjective and lack any form of evidence.

I'm under the impression this is getting quite borderline in terms of the rules though.

It may be nit-picking but religions are actually real. What they preach, the faith based mystery has yet to be proven. I can easilly prove the existence of many forms of religion as there is hard physical evidence all around the place to prove it but the alleged super-natural being/s they worship are not so easy to prove.

Curse you Rota for cutting in ahead of me!

Why do the last few posts remind me of the scene from Christmas Story?

Yes you CAN go to the bathroom, but you MAY not.

Okay, kind of wondering how we ended up here?

I'd think what people would want to know is if death is truly something to fight against, or if it's a true end...and not necessarily if there's a religion attached.

[Rodri]

I can answer that right now.

Everything that is alive will die and once was not alive.
Hows that?
