You might be more successful gaining responses to your survey if you make an Intro thread and tell us a little bit about yourself.

I like to burn down churches when I can but I'm very busy.

That is a pretty good description of what determines the nature of 'gods'.

So many things I scarcely know where to begin. It isn't a short list. Serendipity would be on it though.

That question means nothing to me. Do you mean based on a particular story, like the bible? The short answer is I care not at all.

No fucks to give. Meaningless question.

A tad less than nothing.

People are just too busy to burn them all down.

1. How would you describe your religious background and church involvement?
I grew up with a fairly devout Protestant family. I sang in the choir, did charity, was part of youth groups... I was even a church secretary when I was in my early twenties.
Quote:2. To you, what is God like? Describe God.
I wouldn't know where to begin. "God" is an abstract concept which no one can seem to define.
Quote:3. To you, what is important in life?
Lots of things: education, love, passion...
Quote:4. What do you think is important and unimportant to God?
See #2
Quote:5. What do you think is takes to be straightened out with God?
See #2
Quote:6. Describe what the term Jesus Christ means to you.
The term "Jesus Christ"? That's an odd way of putting it. If you're asking what Jesus Christ means to me, well... he's a dude who may or may not have existed; a hippie who wanted mostly good things and might have had a cult following of twelve dudes and a chick.
Quote:7. From your perspective, what are the major problems of churches today?
Hahahaha! I don't have time to write the tome answering that question would require.

My exposure has been primarly to the Holy Spirit, through the questions I get answered.
So off hand knoweledgeable, patient, kind, loving, long suffering, generous, and the source of much joy, and inner strength.

seeking and saving those who want to be found.

important, helping us shape ourselves into a being that is able to spend an eternity with Him.
Unimportant.. The crap we want from Him instead of what He wants for us.
Quote:5. What do you think is takes to be straightened out with God?
That we A/S/K for the Holy Spirit as outlined in Luke 11, and that we be made to endure the trials needed to reshape our selves in His image.
Quote:6. Describe what the term Jesus Christ means to you.
The source of attonement the reason we can be reconciled, our final judge, the bride groom of the church.
Quote:7. From your perspective, what are the major problems of churches today?
Pride, Lack of relationship with the Holy Spirit for the preservation of tradition and or the preservation of one church image, complacency/luke warm believers, the adaptation of the world's morality in with God's righteousness.[/quote]

7. From your perspective, what are the major problems of churches today? They are to bigots and morons what bright lights are to bugs, and unfortunately it's not a zapper.
