Jafar, so it sounds like you would describe yourself as an atheist? Would it be right to say you believe there is no "evil" - in that there is no absolute governing authority (i.e. God) determining good and bad?

Hi,

I'm taking a class on Christian apologetics - and as part, I need to find a non-christian to interview to discuss their ?worldview.? As I?m interested in the differences between Christianity and Islam, I figured I?d try to interview a Muslim. But sadly, I have no Muslim friends to discuss this with...

Is there anyone here willing to share with me their viewpoint on the big questions - where we came from, morality, destiny, and the general meaning of life? This isn?t meant to be a debate, just a chance to explore another religion and to try to understand what they believe.

If you're interested, the general questions I?m interested in asking are below. No need to answer them all, just conversation starters.

If using private messages or skype/chat is better, please let me know.

Origin

• How do you think we got here - how did humans originate?

• Where did the universe/world come from? Big Bang, created by God, other?

Meaning

• What do you think the purpose of life is?

• Does human life have meaning? If so, what gives that meaning?

• Are humans more significant than other creatures? Are we special? Why?

Morality

• Why do we have moral ethics? Why do some things ?seem? bad (like murder)

• Do good and bad exist? How do you determine what is good or bad?

• Are good and evil subjective or universal/absolute?

• What is a just punishment for sin?

Destiny

• What happens to us after death?

• Do you believe in a heaven or hell?

• If so, how do you get there? Is there anything specific you have to do or believe
