I have to come up with some questions for a religious panel, consisting of a Jew, Hindu, Christian, Buddhist and maybe a Muslin. Its for my school's diversity day, that I am involved in. So does any one have any good questions (even if you know the answer to ) to ask the panel as a whole or individual members about their religion, sides their religion takes on issues or differences between religions. We want the students to ask any questions they have, so they can learn about a new "world." We need these questions to get it going or incase the conversation dies down as "back up questions".

Ask about religious origins of each...how long has that religion ben in existence? Was it a part of a larger religion that simply ended up with several offshoots? Why or why do they not believe in Jesus? If not, why? If they do, why? What are the basic tenets of the religion? Are there specific rituals, holidays, doctrines that are unique to this religion, etc....

How does your views and your religion help society in a positive way? What are some negative views you have noticed about your religion and how do you combat this? Where do you see your religion in about 1000 years? ;o)

This sounds more cynical than it is meant:
Why do you find religion a comfort? Why do you need to feel that things happen for a reason?

In what circumstance is it okay to commit murder?
Do holy wars have any need to be two-way wars, or can one side just suddenly decide to declare war on the other without telling them, then start killing them? Shouldn't both sides be told they're at war? And is it okay to kill those who aren't even soldiers in the self-declared holy war?
