I have questions for religions. I am curious about different beliefs. So I won't limit it to just one.

I'll try to ask these as respectfully as possible. Everyone is entitled to say as they please. I want to see the insight of other eyes and minds. Even if it's opposite of another. No hositlity here. I do not ask it to put others down. I simply wonder what the thoughts are for specific things and what the reasoning is for some of it as well.

Do you believe Hell is a literal place, or is it a representation of your body remaining in the land without any chance of your soul rising wnd joining the presence of others?

Do believe heaven is a literal place? What does your religion describe heaven as? Do they all match up to be the same?

If god is always watching, how come he does help before people pray? Why let people loose faith if it all matters so much and there's a chance theymight not regain it again..?

Do you think god can be seen aside from "the life in the trees", " hearts of the people" or the "Yes, Virgina" movie way?

What is the acutal difference between cult and religion?

I know more will come to me eventrually.

Do you concider your religion closed minded, or open minded. I am hinestly asking that. I do not mean it in a condensendingnway. Do you think all religions are open minded from their own perspective. Do you think any of them acknowledge needless limitations? Would you say it's fine for anyone as long as their personality mimics a description in paper?

Why is muslim religion treated like a race? Why is it treated like westernization knows nothing of jt while plenty of muslims live in the westernized world along with other parts of the world, just like catholics, christains, and so on?

Do all religions have a prefered diet guide to represent purity, or is it dropped within mordern times for most of them (minus halal of coarse, because that is obviously an ongoing thing)?

Jesus said, "Heaven is within" Glean from that what you will.
Jesus described hell as both a very hot place, and an "outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth." glean from that what you will.
Jesus gave us the "Lords Prayer" and told us that life following Him would be difficult and painful, and that it would turn our own families against us. Glean from that what you will.
Psalm 19- glean from that what you will.
A religion is a cult that made it! Glean from that what you will.
"Those who have not the law, yet do by nature, the things contained in the law, are a law unto themselves." - glean from that what you will.
The bible comes with it's own disclaimer. In Jeremiah 8:8, it says, "How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain." In 2nd Timothy 2:15, it says, " Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." The context implies that there is both wheat and chaff contained in the words of the Torah and new Testament. Glean from that what you will.
