 Who is God?

The answer you choose now can mean the difference between eternal life or death. There is still time to change your mind.

1. It wouldn't make much sense to say the Buddha is God, since even Buddhists don't claim such a thing.
2. Satan is the evil impulse within us. It is that part of us which casts harsh judgement upon others without due cause.
3. Although there are some teachings of Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon his name) that I disagree with, I would still call him a prophet. I don't think you have to be right about everything to be a prophet.
4. Jesus was a prophet who ascended to personal Godhood, and taught others how to do the same.
5. Saved from what? Our mission in life is not to be saved, but to save. We save the world by performing tikkun(mending of the world), raising up the sparks of holiness hidden within the mundane.
6. You should have put an "other" option. I put "Jehovah," though it would be more appropriate to put it as "YHVH." However, other choices also create part of the answer. It is partially true that everything is God, in that nothing exists that is outside of God. However, it would be more accurate to say that everything derives from God. That is, we all have divinity within us, but we have fallen from our unity with the Godhead.
7. A demon is an archetype of those things which pull us away from our divine source.
8. We are in the world of Assiyah, in which the higher nature of things is hidden in the material world.
9. It depends upon the progress of the soul. Some of us may potentially reach union with the Godhead, in what might be called heaven. Some may ascend or descend into the subtle realms. Some may feel the wrath of their own karma, in what might be called hell. Most, however, will reincarnate as they find new ways to raise up divine sparks.

I will say Jesus was defiantly more than just a man. He was a very smart "prophet" who fooled everyone and his bullshit still sticks around over 2,000 years later.
I do respect him for that. But I really hope he didn't believe he was the actual son of God. What a dumbass.

What a particularly biased poll. With Muhammad there's the option he's a Teacher, but Jesus is either the Savior or just a man. The poll idea is good, but it wasn't worked out enough.
Here are my answers:
Who is Buddha?
A teacher
Who is Satan?
An archetype, part of God
Who was Muhammad?
Teacher
Who was Jesus?
Teacher
How can I be saved?
You are already saved. Don't worry - nothing can go wrong at all, because God is the everything and all, and Perfection itself.
Who is God?
God is the sum of everything and all. Everything that's in any way possible is essential part of the sum of everything.
Who is a Demon?
A Demon with a capital D is an archetype. In our physical world a demon is a conscious being driven by hate and the desire to inflict suffering, who goes through life acting on these impulses, or in other words, who is led by evil. If you don't believe in evil, websearch sociopathy/psychopathy.
Who is an Angel?
An Angel with a capital A is an archetype. In our physical world an angel is a conscious being driven by love, compassion and the desire to help and further others, who goes through life acting on these impulses.
Where are we?
In between the extremes of existence, or we wouldn't be sitting here reading this.
Where are you going?
Where we are all going: Everywhere. More specifically: the universe is in constant change, and will change in all possible ways, forever. Because there are a limited number of possibilities, every possibility will be repeated into infinity. What this means for you is that you will live every possible life, in every possible body, in every possible combination with other factors, and that over and over again into infinity.
Death is the process where the essence that is you jumps from one corner of the universe to another. The essence of you is hardwired into the universe itself. Just like the essence of a chair. A billion years ago a chair could be made, and a billion years from now it can too. Why? Because a chair isn't just the physical thing, but also is the possibility of a chair and that is hardwired into the universe. As is your essence. Change is the only constant. In some years you will be dead. But that will change too.
Enjoy your little corner of infinity. Whatever you do, it matters not.
All is well

I would have put you can't be saved if that was an option. When you're dead, you're dead. Same thing for where are you going.

It doesn't look good for you, I'm afraid.

If you believe in Christ then why do you deny that he became man here on earth? God can do anything.

You misunderstand. Christ has ALWAYS been with us, before and after the life of Jesus of Nazareth. He simply came to reveal that truth to us.

I know he has been always with us. Christ was also Jesus of Nazareth. All things are possible with God.

Jesus embodied the Christ spirit, as did many others. In identifying Christ solely with Jesus, you limit Christ.

Jesus was without sin. Those with Christ's spirit now still sin.

I see no evidence that Krishna ever sinned, nor that Jesus was without sin.
