**What are the big problems/issues you see in the Christian church today?
Generaly Xtians are really closed in their world. Not only do they refuse to know scientific facts, any critical thinking of their beliefs but also most of them never even opened the Bible and read to see for themselves how stupid it is. Seriously, over the years I've been arguing with Xtians on forums and real world and when I mention some of the many stupid passages from the Bible they're always surprised, accuse me of making it up or not reading it properly.
Therefore there is also a problem of confusing many young minds with anti scientific nonsense that makes them harder to deal with science and therefore aggravate the human progress. And how are we supposed to have functioning democratic society in which people are not allowed to think but manipulate by some religious ruler?
**What do you think about the person Jesus Christ? Is he real, historical person? Faked?
He was just some weirdo that preached end of the world is coming that even his mother wanted to put him in the loony bin. When he died he died, but people decided to make up stories about him like they did with Abe Lincoln.
**What is the point or purpose in your life? What do you live for?
To better this world and not to live for some other world. When I see Star Trek I see what humans are supposed to be: living on higher level of existence where their purpose of life is not to gather food and shelter anymore but they marvel at new scientific discoveries and pictures of new planets they discover. This is the path that we should take. I mean come on how much more fun life would it be to be terraforming Venus and populating it with plants and animals then going to some boring job every morning and only if you're lucky and also looking at pictures sent by drones in another star systems.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
