1. ORIGIN
Where did we come from?
Where are we going?
What place do we have in the universe?
Does the 'created world' have an underlying purpose?
Does the universe have a supernatural origin?
If the scientific world-view replaces religious world-views,
how does this change our lives?
When the scientific account of the evolution of all life
replaces folklore about the origins of species,
how does this affect our concept of ourselves?
When life is created 'in a test tube',
will this change our answer about origins?
If we discovered life elsewhere in the universe,
what importance would that have for us?
If there were intelligent life elsewhere in the universe—even creatures of spirit—
would those forms of life also ask the same ultimate questions?
2. GUILT
Why do we feel guilty?
Does following certain rules of conduct relieve our guilt?
Is there a supernatural basis for moral behavior?
Which comes first: guilt or morality?
What is the connection between religion and morality?
Do religious and moral systems emerge from a basic sense of guilt?
What is the basis of the fear of hell?
Why do some people fear hell whereas others do not?
How important in various religions is the fear of punishment in hell?
Are there valid psychological and/or spiritual reasons for fearing hell?
Have some religions used primordial guilt to manipulate their followers?
Are some religions based on our given sense of guilt and condemnation?
Were some religious practices created to cope with primordial guilt?
How real is evil?
Why do we suffer?
3. MEANING
What is the meaning of life?
Does human life have a given meaning?
Is there ultimate meaning behind the universe?
If there is no background meaning, can we create our own meanings?
Should we search for meaning or create meaning?
What basic meanings for living have been offered by the world's religions?
What meanings have other people lived for?
What specific meanings do most humans pursue?
What shall we do with our lives?
Does death cancel out meaning?
Do we want our meanings-for-living to transcend death?
Do we seek meanings in our everyday lives?
Is the quest for meaning ultimately meaningless?
Is meaninglessness the final truth about human existence?
Is human existence ultimately empty and futile?
Do we seek individual meaning or collective meaning?
If individual lives are meaningless,
can they contribute to ultimate meaning for some larger group of humans?
If there is some given meaning for the human race,
how can we participate in this meaning?
If there is no automatic meaning given with human existence,
how can we make our own lives meaningful?
4. ANXIETY
Is there a basic 'fear' driving human life?
What emotional or spiritual problem is religion trying to solve?
Do most religions recognize a fundamental problem in human existence?
What can we learn from the answers offered by various religions?
Inner peace seems to be a religious goal:
What condition is spiritual peace supposed to resolve?
Do some religious answers merely cover-over the problem of anxiety?
Should religion use psychological techniques to handle anxiety?
Should psychological healers use religious techniques to handle anxiety?
To what degree does religious practice attempt to cope with anxiety?
5. DEATH
What happens after death?
Do we live again after death?
How shall we cope with death?
What does it mean to 'fear death'?
Do we wish that we would never die?
How does having-to-die affect our living?
Do some people live without any awareness of death?
Does our talk about death hide or disclose death?
Should religion help us to face death? If so, how?
What does each religion say about death?
How will we face the crisis of no longer being able to be?
Do we know anyone who is well prepared to die?
How does the death of a person differ from the death of an animal?
After we are dead, what will be the meaning of our lives?

Om premissen är att Jan har alla svar på varje tänkbar fråga, så medför det inte logiskt någonting om hans eventuella oförmåga att lära ut något.
Jan kanske kan koka tevatten åt sig och lära dottern att vattna pelargonian regelbundet så den blommar vackert. Det är inte så illa, klorofyll.

Varför skulle Jan svara på frågor? Han vet ju redan innan du öppnat munnen vad du tänker fråga...

Pelargonian skulle ju dö om han inte lärde sin dotter att vattna den regelbundet. Han tyckte ju om att se den blomma då han drack sitt te.
