Q. If you could go back in time what event would you like to witness?

I would go to the Jesus' cruxifiction (and I would know that I would regret choosing that and the opportunity to time travel would be basically thrown away) but I want to see first hand if there really was a Jesus if and he did what the bible said he did, or see what all the hype was about.

Question: If you could bring back one person from the dead, who would it be?

Q. Along the same line. Who is your current favourite dead actor?

I wouldn't call him a favourite, but Heath Ledger sticks in my mind for some reason. After watching Batman (released after he had already died) he made an impression on me.

What food, if placed in front of you, would be entirely impossible to resist?

[Tank]

What food, if placed in front of you, would be entirely impossible to resist?

After a long think, chilled Butterscotch Angel Delight with double cream on top.  

Q. You haven't eaten in days, you are starving hungry, what 'normal' food could I put in front of you that however hungry you are you could not eat it?

[xSilverPhinx]

Q. You haven't eaten in days, you are starving hungry, what 'normal' food could I put in front of you that however hungry you are you could not eat it?

Anything with pepper in it.

[fester30]

Q. You haven't eaten in days, you are starving hungry, what 'normal' food could I put in front of you that however hungry you are you could not eat it?

Anything with pepper in it.

Question: When was the last time you had an epiphany?

That's sort of a personal question.  I don't get my first epiphany until I turn 40.  Since I'm 33, I have plenty of time to find a doctor with small fingers before that happens.  

Let's say you developed a space-ray that could completely eradicate religion, but doing so would mean 1 million people would die instantly... would you?

[Tank]

Let's say you developed a space-ray that could completely eradicate religion, but doing so would mean 1 million people would die instantly... would you?

No. Killing just one person for their beliefs or lack of them would be one too many. Unfortunately not everybody holds that opinion.

Q. If you could eradicate religion and do no physical harm to anybody, would you do it?

[fester30]

Let's say you developed a space-ray that could completely eradicate religion, but doing so would mean 1 million people would die instantly... would you?

No. Killing just one person for their beliefs or lack of them would be one too many. Unfortunately not everybody holds that opinion.

Q. If you could eradicate religion and do no physical harm to anybody, would you do it?

Not sure.  Even if the space-ray itself doesn't cause the million deaths, it's entirely possible that a world suddenly without religion would result in massive violence and civil wars just from mass confusion.

So again... what if scientists estimate that use of your space-ray would result in approximately 1 million deaths from unintended consequences?  Would you use it?

[Asmodean]

So again... what if scientists estimate that use of your space-ray would result in approximately 1 million deaths from unintended consequences?  Would you use it?

Of course, I would!  

Q: If you could either have fame and be broke or be a rich nobody, what would you choose?
