Ok so say somebody was to die and go to heaven, I assume they take their memories and personality etc with them. All the expereinces on earth and things learnt would go with you. It is even depicted in movies as if you just go to a new place without even changing physical appearence.

However what happens when a young baby dies, but is eligable for access to heaven? The baby has had no expereinces, can't even talk or communicate and has absolutly no wisdom or real memory or recollection of its life on earth whatsoever. Does the baby stay as a baby in heaven? Or does it grow and learn and to which point does it stop growing? Because if the baby does develop into a physically mature human state (look) in heaven, does that mean that if a teenager dies, they grow into an adult in heaven? Or if a limbless 90 year old goes to heaven, they stay a limbless ninety year old? I'm puzzled and would like to know an answer. Thx

existence of God? I followed the path of Buddhism with respect to karma and reincarnation and have stumbled upon the existence of God instead.

I feel that nobody has total faith;that a doubt has never entered their minds ;or that any body can remain an atheist all his life ,even in moments of great stress

In Europe as far asI know children are not told any longer anything at all about religion. Do you think it is a good or a bad thing. For my point of view, 50 years ago or more everyone was told a couple of hours a week about the stories in the Bible . Today as the world is more cosmopolite I guess they also could include Muslim religion or Hindu religion and explain about the particularity of each of them.
Surely knowing the basic of religion gives the children a better idea of what is right o wrong. Today so many have no notion of what is right or wrong.

The assumption is that God is super intelligent, much much more intelligent that anything else. Why then did he offer his only son as a blood sacrifice (to the principle of evil that God himself necessarily created {see the part about being omnipotent} to redeem humanity from sin? Isn't this grotesque and sadistic? Why couldn't He think of something better?

I am only speaking in reference to the United States.

Example one:
An atheist drives to work everyday and passes a large cross on his way (not on public land, remove that debate). Does he have the right, because he is offended by it, to make them take the cross down?

Example two:
I drive through the city of Las Vegas on a regular basis. There are dozens of billboards right off the interstate that show naked women and advertise strip clubs, porno shops, massage parlors that guarantee "happy endings," etc., etc. Do I have the right, because I am offended, to petition the city of Las Vegas to have those billboards removed from public view?

These are just examples, they are not meant for you to respond to in particular. As for my personal opinion, I would answer my own question "no."

There was an old man that lived to be 125. A young reporter went to interview him.
He asked, "How is it you lived to be 125?"
And the old man said, "Well son, I just never did argue with nobody."
And the young reporter said, "Ah, come on! It had to be more than that! Either you ate right, or never drank, or never smoked! It had to be something?"
And the old man just looked at him and said, "You're probably right."

do you think that it is just another sectarian scripture that just want to persuade you in something limited or you value it as the best that Buddhism, as one of the major religions, have to offer?

I would appreciate any links that will help me get a better understanding why Christianity is the only religion that leads to God.

Jesus wouldn't shake hands with the money lenders in the temple - because they were Jewish!
Doesn't this prove that he was an anti-semitic semite?

The messiah(gods son Jesus) came once to earth and he is denied as being Gods son by muslims, and jews denied him of being the messiah.
So when he comes again, are these groups going to deny him again?

In the New Testament it says that Jesus healed the sick and the lame and he regarded them as brother and sister. It also makes reference to the "Charriot of the Lord". Is it such a leap of faith to think that this "Charriot" was in fact a wheelchair?

I would like to know about the mysteries of the rosary. Sure, I have lists of them, but the problem is, for the most part, I don't even understand them! I know they're prayed on certain days, but I really and truly don't know what a lot of them reffer to, and therefor have nothing to meditate on! Can someone give me details about what each mystery means, and why I should think about it?
