I wonder if jesus did exist?i just wanted to know if having faith that he did is enough,i mean i like to have you know concrete proof about things and there isnt much proof he existed except that in the bible,maybe he was just another wannabe prophet,just think what people believe in today like faith healers they supposedly have healing powers,believers claim to be healed then later resume back to there normal condition etc etc. Is it all in there mind and they want it to be real they believe it so much that they think there cured even though there not you see wat im getting at people might of thought about jesus the same way like maybe looking for a hope in this healer or prophet and then claiming to be better because they were maybe over emotional about jesus.

do all go to heaven?
by master chief ini dont know if you have heard of this one but in revelation it talks about the great crowd standing before the throne rendering sacred service day and night,so what i did is looked in other translations about this and it says great crowd r before the throne in heaven literally and not in a symbolic sense as jws view it.in the greek interlinear i think it uses the word (naos or hieron)and renders it as being literal but surely wouldnt that be upto the translators discernment.does anyone have anymore info on this ta!

Is there a god module in the brain!!!!
by master chief ini recently read that certain patients who have damaged their brain in an accident or even had epelectic fits etc have for the first time in their life had a religious experience due to a certain region of the brain being sought of activated which deals with divine experiences or god.
some have even written in depth writings about there visions some have also claimed to be called by god so this made me think about abilities like maths,language,taste etc these are also preset into us arent they otherwise how else could learn to do these things so then are we preset to worship god.
aha so we are sought of like a computer with software programmed into us,so if so do we worship through free will or through a preprogrammed god module ????

yes what is the meaning of life? why are we here? If the answer lies in religion why is it so difficult to say make a correct understanding of say the bible which i find is full of symbolisms and prophecys etc. And then someone always comes along with there interpretation of it and then is there understanding correct and to back up there interpretation the say there blessed by god huh??? Then i wonder about evolution are they right or are they just another religion you see when they we came from a big bang it puzzles me why because look at how well organized everything is like the positions of the planets,balanced elements,the sun,everything seems to have been designed then you may think is there a god and if there is why so much suffering on earth,why do we have to die lose loved ones see war and terrorism,false religion,murderers etc i could go on and on. and the question is do i have the answer well i dont know really im still looking i hope a may have the answer one day.

are dating methods accurate??
by master chief inquestions questions im just wondering are modern day dating methods reliable i ask this because i was told there are different types of dating methods to test fossils etc for instance testing bones which using dating methods say 10 yrs ago are now classed unreliable i say this because i was told that historians dated human remains back to 20 million yrs i think and with a more modern technique it s now dated at only 5000 yrs i think so the question is can we trust todays modern dating methods or will they sometime in the near future be more accurate

Paranoid about death and im only 31????
by master chief indont get me wrong im a really happy guy and live an exciting life but since i was about 20 iv always thought about how frightening the reality of death is it really bugs me ill give you an example im really young now of course and then i might walk passed a graveyard and even look at the stones and then i think that will be me one day.
but i cant imagine being dead i want to live forever and all i want to know is do you think the dead are conscious of nothing or is there life after death.
iv got this idea though see what you make of it, i think that r bodys are just shells and are life is in us and when we die we go to another realm maybe heaven etc i thought of this because angels can supposedly materialize in to human form and viceversa so what do you think people is there really life after death
