If the tree was the tree of knowledge of good and evil, how could they of been wrong or have commited sin as so many protest if they knew no good. If we don't know one how are we to understand the other?

For you devout believers (of ANY faith), I'm curious: Who do you believe to have a better chance of being accepted into your god's kingdom:

1) A man who firmly believes the same 'correct' way as you (has accepted Jesus into his heart, studies the Quran daily, etc.) but contributes little to his society's wellbeing and is often immoral

-- or --

2) An atheist or believer of an alternate religion who helps others, lives a morally savory life, but has no faith in the tenets of your religion and/or deity.

As a corollary: If someone is born and goes through life never having been exposed to your religion (therefore never believing it) but lives a morally sound life, can he/she be accepted into your god's kingdom?

I personally am agnostic -- since there's NO WAY to either prove or disprove the existence of a higher being, I admit that I simply don't know if one exists or not. That said, I'm fascinated by the idea of a deity/religion and those who firmly believe/worship.

Wouldn't that mean the writers could twist the facts any way they wanted? Could the true message pf Jesus have been warped? It seems many Christians today are disdainfull of other religions, yet Jesus was a kind man who respected everyone. Why is this?

How could there have been animals that only existed in America if the flood story is true? Or Australia even. Did he have kangaroos and platypi on board as well?

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsetter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy's spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

First of all I am a Christian.
Secondly this was the reason Jesus came to Earth , to die. What difference does it make who killed Him? Alot of people miss the whole point.

Does God love and accept me, even though I don’t believe?
And if he does, then why don’t Christians feel the same?

Are the things you are doing actually make heaven be here right now?

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats

What changes would you like to see in American society? What needs to be removed, what needs to be added? What segments of society would be affected? How would this change American life, culture and law?

As a Christian, I can identify things that should be eliminated, like pornography, drunkenness, greed and corruption. What do you see as the most pressing issues? I am trying to find areas where we can work together to change America for the better.

This question is directed to Muslims, everybody please allow them to answer. There will be a follow-up question for non-Muslims. Criticism of the question, or responses that do not pertain to the question will result in the same persons' responses to the follow-up question being eliminated from consideration for actual implementation.

More details may be added for clarification as required.
