<h4>Questions for Reflection</h4>
<ol>
<li>Does anything matter more than survival &#8211; and if so, what, and why?
</li>
<li>If we had to make a choice, what should we save: human lives, or human thought (genes or memes)?
</li>
<li>Can we make an afterlife in the form of a virtual reality? Should we?
</li>

<p>As this is the first installment of a story for the Journal i&#8217;m trying out a questions for reflection section. Some food for though, if you like them please let me know. If you don&#8217;t, also, please let me know. And if you&#8217;d like to discuss them, feel free to post in the comments section. I am hoping to get some forum software that integrates into Wordpress to make it easier. </p>
<p>
<h4>Questions for Reflection</h4>
<ol>
<li>Is it possible to sin without doing harm to others?</li>
<li>How far would you go for true love?</li>
<li>Does human suffering serve a purpose, or is God arbitrary and cruel?</li>
<li>Many religions claim a monopoly on truth.  How are we to judge between them?</li>
<li>Are there dentists in heaven?</li>
</ol>
