Do religious beliefs actually have any significant bearing on moral decision making?

Speed bump people, no rules broken yet, but I'd appreciate no drama this week, please?

You know I love you pocaracas

Still doesn't detract from the freshman striving to be lazy though

Humour me, how would you suggest I carry out the research of an online based research project in a less lazy manner?
I have already surveyed over 200 people on Omegle and now have about 15 responses from forums.
With your infinite wisdom and tactful insight you might be able to point me in the right direction.

No Espirito Santo for me this week

Listen, we have had many people asking the forum to participate in surveys, and what they did? They have asked for permission from the staff, like any polite person would do. You should do the same and provide a proper form. Outside that, you are on your own.

Personally, if you are a student, you are doing a sloppy job.

A very sad week for both of us then.....

Yes, I am a student.
No, I am not doing a sloppy job. See past comments on the acadmeic limitations on the project and my past academic record which seem of particular concern to users.
I read the rules and I haven't infringed any and it doesn't advise to ask permission of staff before posting research related material.
I tried to make the post relevant and of interest and eventually of benefit/interest to the forum community.
I have been subject to several personal comments which as far as I can tell break the forum rules, as they have made me feel upset and unwelcome. Many of the complaints seem to relate to the fact that this is my first post. I don't think such a hierarchy is fair

It's Simple.... The real answer is ..... No

The religious are the most immoral people on the planet thanks to their religious ideals.

Have a Happy day

I change my answer. This insight is way truer than truer is true. Only religious people are evil. and thus need religion not to be evil.

[pocaracas]

Well, what did you expect?
You come to a forum that has a whole section dedicated to "introductions"... but you fail to provide yours... people around here are very sensitive about that.
You present a survey on a skeptic filled forum... you should expect a lot of people putting you down or downright trolling you.

I'm all for these surveys... if it helps you get a better grade, I have no problem.... but not all are like me.
Just follow the golden rule: Don't be a dick. Don't get all offended at people for putting you down, or this thread will just become one big whine from you about how mean we are around here... trust me, there's been enough of those.
Chill, take it calmly and let the bad winds blow away from you.

No, none of the responses in this thread have broken forum rules as far as I can tell (I am a member of the AF.org staff).

I don't necessarily think that your first post violated any forum rules, however, it was a breach of etiquette. This is a discussion forum, and we are a community of sorts. Requests for participation in a survey are generally welcomed from members of our community, and from those outside the community that respect the community by asking staff if it's OK to post a survey. (I can't recall staff ever refusing a request from a student.)

Posting a student survey on your first post does not give the members of our community the feeling that you want to be part of it, or that you respect it.

student1992,

Why are you starting from scratch, particularly regarding The Trolley Problem? Read this:

http://philosophyfaculty.ucsd.edu/facult...ROLLEY.pdf

Now, if you understand this (or not) go to TPM Online (The Philosophers' Magazine). Towards the top, near the middle you will find links to Interactive Activities. The fourth down is titled "Should You Kill the Fat Man" and has 83,005 responses. Considering the above paper the next one down is titled "Should You Kill the Backpacker?".

In addition to scouring the internet for respondents, I would contact TPM to see if they would be willing to share results.
