| are you mono or polytheistic? | Um.. I'm an agnostic who bounces from the theist side to the atheist side. Currently I'm leaning towards theist.<input ... ><input ... > |
| do you subscribe to a major religion? | Nope.<input ... ><input ... > |
| how do you feel about Jesus? | He was a guy. He probably existed. Some of his followers are real morons, but that's true for anyone with followers. <input ... ><input ... > |
| what holy book do you feel is most accurate (Bible, Koran, etc) | I think they are like the Blind men and the Elepahnt in describing things: 'Though each was partly in the right, And all were in the wrong!<input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in reincarnation? | Not sure. It makes sense to me, though. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in the traditional heaven and hell? | This doesn't make as much sense to me. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in ANY heaven and/or hell? | As I said, reincarnation makes more sense, but I'm not decided yet. I think I remember soem Buddhist-y bits I read once that described hellish or heavenly other planes of existance that your soul could reincarnate to. I think that makes a decent amopunt of sense. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you think the god(s) are vengeful or nice? | I think they are wrapped up in the business of being gods. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in angels? | Not sure. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in miracles? | If you mean extraordinary circumstances, yes. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in predestination? | Hell, no. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in original sin? | Nope.<input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in freedom of will? | Um, hell yeah. Freedom of will is one of my strongest beliefs. I believe we are ultimatly responsible for our own choices, and that includes taking responsibility for the consequences of them. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in souls? | I think so. <input ... ><input ... > |
| what do you think will happen to you when you die? | No idea, beyond the obvious (my body will turn into worm food). <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you think there will be an armageddon? | Well, the Sun will expand into a red giant and engulf the Earth. That will be cool.<input ... ><input ... > |
| why do you think we exist? | Why not?<input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in life on other planets? | I think it is probable that life exists elsewhere in the universe because the chemical proceses that took place on the early Earth are not unique. So, it's more of a very distant collorary of my beliefs in universality of place and time, which ties into philosophy of science. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you believe in evolution? | In what? I study the evolution of stars, and that certainly exists. I don't believe in Lamark's Theory of Evolution by Acquired Characteristics because it has been proven wrong. Or do you mean Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection? That theory seems to explain all of the facts of modern biology, and has yet to be disproven by a credible source in 100 years. That's good enough for me -- I accept Darwin as basically right. <input ... ><input ... > |
| do you think religion and science will always oppose the other? | No. I think most sensible people can reconcile them. I mean, unless you are Amish, you obviously don't hate science enough to avoid the technology it gives us. And everyone, even the most ardent atheist, has beliefs about 'religious matters'. <input ... ><input ... > |
| what would you say to God if you met him/her/them today? | Um... 'Hi! How are you? I'm a big fan of your work.'<input ... ><input ... > |
| anything else we should know? | The survey-taker needs to gets some exposure to more religiions/philosohpies, especially on the agnostic/atheist side fo the Force. <input ... ><input ... > |
