   followers all claim to be the true believers, and the chosen children of   
   God. Those major religious groups are further divided by thousands of minor   
   religious sects, all of whom claim to be following your chosen path for   
   humanity and your will. Each sect in turn viewing all other religious sects   
   with the suspicion and mistrust, which ultimately leads to increased   
   violence and war.   
      
   Our problems are further compounded by national leaders who are driven by   
   ambition, greed, and self glorification. Leaders who are far too willing to   
   invoke the word of God whenever it suits their purpose or furthers their   
   ambitions. They intertwine their political rhetoric with our religious   
   traditions and prophecies in order to divide us and further their own   
   ambitions.   
      
   Lord we seek peace and a clear understanding of your will. That is why I   
   come before you as a challenging martyr offering my life as a vehicle   
   through which you can clearly and unambiguously communicate your desire to   
   the human race.   
      
   The answer I seek my Lord is "Who amongst us is following the true path   
   which you have chosen for mankind?"   
      
   I ask that you respond to this challenge in the prescribed manner so that   
   there can be no question that the answer came from you and no question as to   
   what your desires are.   
      
   I challenge all true believers of all faiths to send forward defending   
   martyrs so that you may clearly communicate your desire to the entire human   
   race by the method set down in this challenge.   
      
   I ask that you inspire true believers from all faiths and all religious   
   sects to offer themselves as defending martyrs and proof that their faith is   
   the true faith and that their path is your chosen path for all mankind.   
      
   When the defending martyr of the true path of enlightenment has come   
   forward, I ask that you bring me home by turning my body to dust in one   
   billionth of a second leaving only my right hand as proof of your deed. In   
   that exact same nanosecond I ask that you turn the bodies of all defending   
   martyrs, from the true path of enlightenment, to dust and bring their   
   spirits home to dwell with you forever, thereby proving that their prophets   
   are the true prophets and their path your chosen path for all humanity.   
   Bringing us home in the prescribed manor is a feat that only you can   
   preform. Bringing us home in the exact same nanosecond will be proof that   
   all humanity can clearly understand.   
      
   In the name of all humanity I ask this of you, so that we may all know and   
   follow the true path of enlightenment and the true prophets of God.   
      
   In the name of God, and for the sake of all humanity,   
      
   Amen   
      
   ***************************************   
      
   One People, One Destiny   
      
   To the people of the world I say this: Who I am, where I am from, and what I   
   may or may not believe to be true isn't of any importance. I come before you   
   as a challenging martyr, offering my life in exchange for a simple direct   
   answer from God. No matter where you were born, no matter what political   
   philosophy you follow, no matter what religion you believe in, this is about   
   you, your future, and the future of all humanity.   
      
   As a people, we have achieved a level of technical ability that is   
   unparalleled by any other species. We have reached a level of technical   
   scientific sophistication which makes it possible for us to either ensure   
   our survival as a civilized race, or guarantee our own destruction. Our   
   technical scientific ability has indeed made us one people with one common   
   destiny, yet we are people divided by religion, politics, and war.   
      
   We stand at a crossroads in human history with one path leading to peace and   
   prosperity that can last for millions of years yet to come. The other path   
   leads to continued war and destruction which will eventually lead to the end   
   of the human race.   
      
   If we are to survive as a species, we must bring our spiritual understanding   
   and our political systems into balance with our technical scientific   
   ability. We must come together as one people with one destiny and end the   
   continuous cycle of poverty, injustice, violence, and destruction that   
   threatens our very survival as a species.   
      
   Religion in one form or another has always been used to validate our   
   position, demonize our enemies, and justify the carnage we cause. Every day   
   another young person straps on a suicide vest or climbs into another suicide   
   vehicle and kills himself and others in the name of God, believing they have   
   secured their place in Paradise. Every day another young soldier goes out to   
   either kill the enemy or die, for God and Country. It is time for God to   
   give mankind a clear, unambiguous answer as to what his plan for mankind is,   
   and who amongst us is following the true path of enlightenment.   
      
   Every religion teaches us that those, who follow the teachings of their   
   religion, follow the will of God and are blessed by God. Every religion   
   teaches us that God answers the prayers of the righteous. If that is true,   
   God will respond to your prayers, and God will respond to this challenge.   
      
   My challenge to you is very simple. For the duration of this challenge, stop   
   the killing, stop the violence, stack your weapons, and call your people to   
   prayer. Whatever religion you follow, find the true believer amongst your   
   flock that have the courage to offer their lives to God as defenders of the   
   faith. Send forth your Defending Martyrs and pray to God for a sign. If your   
   prophets are not false, and your leaders have not been deceiving you, God   
   will answer your prayers. The defending martyr from the true path of   
   enlightenment will taken up to be with God forever at the exact same time   
   that God takes my life. If God cares about the destiny of mankind, he will   
   respond to your prayers, and my body will be turned to dust leaving only my   
   right hand as proof the challenge has been answered. In the exact same   
   nanosecond my life is taken, all Defending Martyr's from God's chosen people   
   will disappear and be taken up to dwell with God for all eternity.   
      
   In this Martyr's Challenge, no one commits suicide, and no person kills   
   another person. The challenging martyr and defending martyrs simply put   
   their lives into God's hands, we are offering our lives to God as a conduit   
   through which God can clearly reveal himself to the world. In this Martyr's   
   Challenge, all of humanity is making a direct request to God, asking for an   
   answer as to who God's chosen people are, who the true believers and the   
   keepers of the faith are. If God cares about the human race, listens to our   
   prayers, and wants mankind to follow the true path of enlightenment, then   
   surely God will not let the challenge go unanswered.   
      
   No matter who you are, no matter where you live, no matter what your   
   religion is, I ask that you stop whatever you are doing, contact everyone   
   you know, ask them to participate, raise you voice in prayer, and pray for a   
   clear unambiguous answer from God. If God answers your prayers, you will   
   know because I will simply disappear leaving my right hand behind untouched   
   and undamaged. In the exact same nanosecond that my body is turned to ash   
   and dust, somewhere in the world, the defending martyrs and followers of God's   
   chosen path will also disappear, and you will know the path God wants   
   mankind to follow. God will have taken us home, and you will have a clear   
   unambiguous answer as to whom the true prophets have been, who God's chosen   
   leaders are, what form your sectarian governments should take, and which is
