shared by KM Anderson on 11 May 10 - Cached

1. How can one find truth and, specifically, the meaning of life? Can you find it by reasoning? How would you define "reason"? 2. What is the relationship between these two words: "religion" and "spirituality"? Are they the same? 3. If you belive in God, how do you understand the problem of salvation? How does one find God? How is one to be "saved"? How does one find a place in Heaven? 4. Have you ever had a "religious experience"? Where and when? 5. How would you describe your own personal relationship to nature? 6. Do you support the current environment movement? If so, why?
