“My wife is always getting after me because she says I work too much. Maybe I do put in 12 hours or so a day, but how can I get her to see I'm doing it for her and the children? I want them to have the things I never had when I was growing up.”
“How can people say that one religion is better than any other religion? Religion is just a matter of personal preference, as far as I'm concerned, and what works for you might not work for someone else. In my opinion, "truth" doesn't have anything to do with religion (or anything else, for that matter).”
“Where was the Garden of Eden located? Or was it just a symbol for the place where the human race began? Do you think we’ll ever discover the Garden of Eden and maybe live in a perfect environment like Adam and Eve did?”
“Why did Jesus have to die? From what I can tell, He wasn't guilty of doing anything wrong, and I've always looked on Jesus' execution as a great injustice.”
“The other day, a friend of mine kind of shocked me by asking me why I complain all the time. I guess I didn't realize I came across that way. What steps do you suggest I take to get out of this habit? Or am I just naturally a negative person?”
“I don’t agree with people like you who say God loves us, because I don’t see any evidence for it. Just look at all the wars in the world, or all the other terrible things that happen. They sure don’t point to a loving God.”
“I just saw that movie on the last hours of Jesus' life, and I was very sobered by it. Why did Jesus have to suffer so much and die such a violent death? After all, He could have escaped.”
“How can I begin to get some good luck going in my life? I've had a lot of problems the last few years, and I've tried everything I can think of to get my luck to change, but nothing seems to work. I've bought every good luck charm I've ever seen advertised, and nothing ever works.”
“I've been tormented most of my life over something I did when I was in my early 20s that was terribly wrong—more than I realized at the time. I've prayed and prayed for forgiveness, but nothing changes. Please warn people not to do bad things because they will come back to haunt them.”
“I guess you could call me a "Christmas and Easter" Christian because those are the only two times I make it to church (except for weddings and funerals). But what's wrong with that?”
“Many years ago, I had a chance to give my life to Jesus, but I refused. I wanted to live my own life and not bother with God—and I'm afraid that's what I've done all these years. Is it too late for me now? Has my opportunity to be saved passed me by?”
“Why didn't Jesus make any attempt to avoid being killed? From what I can tell, He wasn't guilty of anything and He could easily have just stayed away from Jerusalem and avoided being arrested.”
