I pretty much know how atheists and polytheists will answer this question (and feel free to do so), but I am more interested in seeing how monotheists would answer. If you are a monotheist, please don't answer that there is just one God period and leave it at that. I'm interested in knowing from which direction you would approach your belief. Feel free to use scriptural references, but with the asked question in mind. Thanks in advance.

They seem to serve no purpose. All they do is cause crime and poverty wherever they go. Nonwhites seem to not have a purpose other than destroying whites.

Check out these demographics of the world that we live in folks:

According the "World Christian Encyclopedia: A comparative survey of churches and religions - AD 30 to 2200," (David Barrett et al, editors) there are 19 major world religions which are subdivided into a total of 270 large religious groups, and many smaller ones.

Some estimates:

Christians are 32% of the world's population, and the numbers are dropping.

Islam accounts for 19% and is the fastest growing major religion in the world today.

Hindus account for 13%

Chinese folk religion: 6%
Buddhists: 6%
Tribal religions, shamanism, animism: 4%
Atheists: 2% (the source separates Athesists from "no religion")
New religions: 2%
Sikhism, Judaism, Spiritism, Baha'i Faith, Confucianism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Shinto, Taoism, Wicca, and "Other": each less that 1%

Those who have no religion accounts for 12%.

He says we have to believe in him or believe that christ died to remove it from us in order to be saved. Could this be a coercion tactic for more attention? Much like a child that throws a tantrum when they don't get their way...

i find that no matter where i am or who it is ,that people tell you that info.but when you ask someone what they are doing or where they are going in general they are mostly vague.when somebody leaves the room to use the bathroom ,wouldn't it be better to say ,i will be right back or excuse me for a minute?
is stating your private bodily functions a universal thing ?

Seriously. What if he decided to come back as a black man from Chicago? Or maybe a Nicaraguan woman? Or what if he had sold used cars in California before he began his ministry (After all, Christ was a carpenter, a decidedly middle class profession)? What if his teachings didn't neatly fit into your traditional religious views?

I'm not being facetious. How would you know?

Einstein was not a Christian. Einstein did not believe in your god. Einstein explicitly stated that he believed in Spinoza's god (soul and body are one, impersonal god). He even stated he is not an atheist nor a pantheist (implying something unique and sort of in between).

Why then do Christians here keep trying to imply that Einstein was a Christain!? Twisting the truth is the same as lying.

Now, i can see you being sexy with your mate at home, or in your special location. But to come in public showing what God & the surgeon gave you is tacky and classless.
