I know this never will be a movie, that's why i'm posting it here. It's much too touchy, and controversial, it would end up missing something, upsetting a group of people, or just flat out feel condescending toward someone, if ever made.
However, here's my movie idea/concept;
What if a theist when he dies, he finds himself arrive at the pearly gates. He is then placed in a room, with about fifty other theists, from all different religions, sects, etc. no atheists, because it wouldn't work in this case, just theists. Let's just assume as well it is basically just a room as we would picture in earth, and they all retain their physical forms. Now, they are very confused as to what they are all doing here, until they hear a voice, finally god speaks to them, however this is what god says;
"I have put you in here, you are free of physical limitations, you have endless time, no need to worry about food, water, sleep, nothing of the sort. However, take notice to the fact that you are all from different religions, and I have not told you what religion I actually conveyed my message through yet. Here's your task. You are to discuss among yourselves what the truth actually is, I will not reveal myself, and may not ever reveal myself. You are to debate your ideas, which are all you have to rely on, and regardless of what religion and doctrine you currently believe/used to believe as the true pathway to god, you are to come to a group consensus on which religion is actually the truth, and you are only allowed to give one answer. I'll give you a hint, the truth lies within a single religion, so decide which one. If the answer is wrong, you will be punished by whatever standards of punishment the religion you finally choose, describes."
So they follow this order, and discuss, and i'll leave it at that.
What do you think?

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
