Wow. Thanks for the replies.
The reason I didn't initially open it up to a group discussion is that the assignment is to interview one person. But I'd certainly like to get other thoughts if you'd like to share. If so, below are the starting questions I was going to ask - on 4 general topics. If not, just ignore them...
Origin
How do you think we got here - how did humans originate?
Where did the universe/world come from? Big Bang, God, other?
Meaning
What do you think the purpose of life is?
Does human life have meaning? If so, what gives that meaning?
Are humans more significant than other creatures? Are we special? Why?
Morality
Why do we have moral ethics? Why do some things ‘seem’ bad (like murder)
Do good and bad exist? How do you determine what is good or bad?
Are good and evil subjective or universal/absolute?
If you don't believe in sin, do you ever feel guilty?
Destiny
What happens to us after death?
Is there a heaven / hell?
If so, how do you get there? Is there anything specific you have to do?
