I used the word "if" just for you. But what happens when you die and it's too late?

Down in the basement of the Vatican, less than twenty feet beneath the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica, there is an ugly, graffiti-covered brick-and-plaster wall. Inside the wall there is a rectangular cavity containing nineteen clear Plexiglass boxes filled with old bones, some of which are claimed to be the mortal remains of St. Peter himself. A small breach in the wall allows two of the boxes and their bony contents to be seen through the open bronze work of a gate set some distance in front of the wall. Ten of the bones thus carefully preserved at this most holy focal point in all of Christendom, however, are the remains of domestic animals — goats, sheep, cows, swine, and a chicken.2 Scripture tells us [Mk 14:30,72] that Peter denied his master thrice before the cockerel could crow twice. Could this chicken be the remains of Peter’s fabled cockerel?

In the interest of creating a database of questions and answers, what are your answers to the following:

Does God exist? Does Santa Claus exist?

Is there a book about God that is a collection of other books written by many authors?
Could we collect the books about Santa that have been written by manyauthors and put them in a book?

Do people ask for things in God's name, and do these prayers sometimes get answered yes and sometimes get answered no?
Do people ask for things in Santa's name, and do these gift requests sometimes get answered yes and sometimes get answered no?

Is there any empirical evidence that God exists?
Is there any empirical evidence that Santa exists?

What is your reaction when an adult person tells you they believe Santa exists? What is your reaction when an adult person tells you they believe God exists?

You say it's nessasary to believe that Jesus died on the cross for you. What's the fate of those who lived before the crucifixtion occured.

also, what's the use of all the other messengers of God (Moses, Abraham, David...etc) messages ? and what did they say about the original sin or offer mankind whose been burdened with it? were they sinful too? if yes, did Jesus die for their sin? If yes, how come this point wasn't empasized in the scriptures given to them? and how come they didn't warn their people enough? of the coming of Jesus who will die on the cross and is the path to their salvation.

How come it's not emphasized enough in the bible either?

There are so many religions in the world. Do you think it's possible that for some, Christianity will simply never work for them, no matter how hard they try? Perhaps another religion is the only one that will work for them? Do you think this could be true? Do you think some people just can never be a Christian and/or it would never work for them or make them happy?

I know the difference between sunni and shiite; however, I have sometimes heard the word shia used - is that interchangeable with shiite.

I have posted several questions, with various topics.I continue to recieve negative comments in some questions that aren't harsh. The same people keep sending sarcastics remarks, even though these same people are the ones crying and complaining about Christians being judgemental or uneducated or that we're brainwashed or even that we believe that the Bible is a fairytale.Aren't these same people being judgemental and hypocritical.

Does the idea of giving some sort of supernatual entity control of your life give anyone else the creeps? If you took this literally--wouldn't it mean letting this entity make all your life decisions, and living like a puppet on a string (voluntarily no less).

I know a ton of Christians will come on and object to the puppet analogy but isn't that what the 'Jesus take the Wheel' analogy really means?

I'm contrasting this with the idea that Christians believe that Jesus is really in the passenger seat telling them where to go while they steer--he is not really in control of the 'car'.

Adam and Eve were tempted by the forbidden fruit, right? How could the Garden of Eden be paradise if the capacity for bad was present? Sounds a little too similar to our present world. Just wondered if anyone has any insight.
Thanks!

Why is it that the only thing we hear about God comes from people speaking on his behalf, namely cult leaders, religious preachers and followers, most of whom are lunatics and war mongers. If God genuinely existed, he would silence these people because they are an absolute embarrassment. Just check out some of the religious idiots who post on Yahoo Answers.

When you listen to these idiots trying to justify God’s love and existence, it takes very little commonsense to realise how imaginary God is. If God were real, he would speak for himself. The fact that God does not speak, and that he allows any lunatic who comes along to speak in his name, proves that God is imaginary.

If all you religious people who try to mentally saturation bomb gullible minds could see how stupid and embarrassing you are to the intellectual mind, perhaps you’d stop making fools of yourselves.
