| 11 | I smoked for 5+years and quit in a day. | Right now, are you addicted to nicotine? |
| 12 | I can barely understand the "brothers" that roll up in the wide-body Cadillacs, with the systems going, in my own town! | Which speakers of the English language do you find hardest to understand? |
| 13 | um...no, this isn't two questions!!! Being saved by Christ requires you ask. So if you are saved by Christ, you must have ask somewhere along the line. Unless we are talking about a Christ outside of the Bible, the Bible makes it abundantly clear to even the thickest of skulled, salvation depends on a close, transforming, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. | Are you saved by Christ? |
| 14 | A small box of tools, two coats, a tent, two rough cuts of cloth about 4'x8', a spare tire and jack, some books, some oil, a CB antenna, swimming trunks, and probably some ladies underwear. | What is in the trunk of your car or the bed of your pick-up? |
| 15 | I tried it once, but if your driving a 5-speed, it's totally impossible without the hands-free option. | Do you use your cellular phone while you are driving a motor vehicle? |
| 16 | I drive very hard and fast. Unless what someone is saying to me is so important they are willing to get in the car with me, I really don't care what they have to say, I guess. If I were more motivated to dircet my attention to a phone rather than the real world around me, I guess I might learn that trick. | Do you use your cellular phone while you are driving a motor vehicle? |
| 17 | I like games that have high levels of danger and in which a player might possible die in the process. | What type of games are your favorite? |
| 18 | I don't really care who does what over there. The land has only sentimental and historical value and if people want to slaughter themselves, who's business is it of mine? Or in other words, why does the US support an alliance with Israel? It's not like they are going to come in handy as some strategic partner in a war, or in some way benefit us as a nation. If nothing else, we ought to support the Arabs. After all, they do have the oil. How about we just let them do it like they did in the old days. We just sit back, enjoy a tall glass of lemonade, and see who kills off the other group first. After all, it's not like God really brought the Israelite back to the "promised land" as He once did. | Do you think apartheid is an acceptable option when considering solutions for the violence between Israelis and Palestinians? |
| 19 | The general focus of modern polytheistic religions is nothing, and often they focus on the nothing rather than anything at all, including good, godly thoughts. Christianity and Islam are different in that they call the worshipper to focus on God, His creation, and the power He has to change lives. By this simple fundamental difference, monotheistic, YHWH based, religions are more accepting in that they call the practitioner of the religion to be more than they started off being, rather than calling the practitioner to not only end this life and make as little difference as possible, but to live such a life so bereft of God, that the goal is to never live again, thus ending the cycle of life and achieving "Nirvana". | Do you find polytheistic religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism to be more accepting of other views and beliefs, than monotheistic religions such as Christianity and Islam? |
| 20 | I don't speak of a personal experience, nor do I speak from an emotional standpoint, but rather from a logical analysis and in-depth study of the practice of various religions. Also, Jehovah’s Witnesses are not a Christian group, as defined as one that believes in the divinity of the man, Jesus Christ. Baptists are only Christian so far as the believe that Christ is divine, for they set aside many of the staple tenants of Christianity in an attempt to compensate for what seems to be an inability on the Bible's part to explain away the workings of God on Earth. But theology isn't the issue here. The cornerstone of all major religions is prayer and meditation. Whatever you interpret God to be is beside the point. The basic goal of prayer in Eastern and New Age meditation is to empty your mind, focusing on nothing at all, forcing away the good with the bad, where the goal of the Christian prayer is to fill your mind with thoughts of majesty, glory, and the power of God until "your heart is glad", and to ultimately know God better on a personal level. This very basic goal in prayer sees it's true ends in the goal of the religion in which it is practiced. Eastern and New Age religions proudly claim an end to the cycle of pain and life, graduating to exactly what, I don't know; Christianity proudly claiming the end result of a faithful life to be a life everlasting, given to the practitioner, solely by God, to live here, on an Earth remade by the hand of God, to abide here with God forever. I am not at all claiming that Christian spirituality, as can be observed by mainstream Christians, is in any way an example of what the Bible calls Christians to be. I firmly believe that most Christians have no idea what it is to pray and to know the will of God as expressed directly to them through His Holy Spirit. I feel very confident in saying this about the freaks you see on TV speaking as spokesman for a “religious right”, or some other politically motivated group, claiming they have the interests of mainstream Christians in mind when wielding there political might at any cause that seems moral and right. Surely it is true that the deep focus that Eastern, New Age, and Pagan religions have on spirituality and prayer might make them seem more open-minded and free, but under closer examination, monotheistic religions, such as Christianity, are the most open-minded, simply by the virtue of the relationship this type of religion calls it’s practitioner to have with God. | Do you find polytheistic religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism to be more accepting of other views and beliefs, than monotheistic religions such as Christianity and Islam? |
