     How shall we respond to "different" people who       
      participate in different ultimate ways of           
       asking and responding to ultimate questions about  
        why there is so much enduring conflict & suffering
         all around the world?  For example, consider the 
          following kinds of questions:                   
                                                          
     1.  What are the means to salvation?                 
     2.  Is there any need for any kind of salvation?     
     3.  If so, what do we need --- to be saved:          
                                                          
     4.  From original sin --- from some "event" long ago?
     5.  From "The Domination System" --- globally today? 
     6.  From specific individual domineering people now? 
     7.  From in-effective means to salvation?            
     8.  From those in control of the effective means?    
     9.  From whoever knows the most effective means?     
    10.  From how people tell who   has   been saved?     
    11.  From how people tell who has NOT been saved?     
    12.  From those saved who are so "superior/better"?   
    13.  From those who ask the wrong ultimate questions? 
    14.  From those who answer wrong ultimate questions?  
                                                          
    15.  Who is asking the RIGHT ultimate questions?      
    16.  Who is answering the RIGHT ultimate questions?   
    17.  Are we saved "in-spite-of" what we: believe, do, 
         like, hate, reject, say, think, desire, etc?     
    18.  Are we saved "because-of" what we: believe, do,  
         like, hate, reject, say, think, desire, etc?     
    19.  Is salvation a "reward", an "unmerited-gift" or  
         a "conditional-gift", or something different?    
    20.  Are we saved because we respond properly to our  
         fear of punishments to be meted out to those who 
         do not meet the conditions for their salvation,  
         or because we cooperate with "different" people  
         who ask/answer different kinds of questions than 
         those questions that we prefer to ask?           
    21.  Is salvation enjoyed by people who "hang-on-and- 
         control" or by people who "let-go-and-let-God?"  
    22.  Is there no need for salvation --- as many       
         Muslims believe?                                 
    23.  Must we be saved --- as many Christians believe? 
    24.  Can we be saved by earning salvation-points by   
         "saving" people who do not know that they must   
         be saved?                                        
    25.  Is salvation an exclusive thing found/received in
         contentious isolation and/or relationships --- or
         is salvation found and enjoyed within cooperative
         communities and integrative relationships?       
    26.  Is salvation achieved by faithfully serving "The 
         Domination System"  which represses asking  these
         kinds  of questions  and represses  responses  to
         these kinds of questions?                        
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
