I imagine that most of the people in here who follow a religious faith have
thought about it a lot and have a fairly mature interpretation of their
faith. I'm genuinely interested in hearing your thoughts on certain aspects
of your religion, so have a few questions.
Just skip the questions you find difficult to answer, don't want to answer,
or consider unanswerable...
Do you believe in God as a human/person-like entity? If not, what sort of
entity is He?
Does your God pervade all aspects of your existence .e.g. can He read your
thoughts? Is He always observing you as an individual?
Do you believe Jesus was the Son of God (or God the Son)? Do you believe in
the virgin birth of Jesus?
Do you follow all aspects of the scriptures of your faith or have your own
interpretation of it? e.g. do you use the Bible/Qur'an as a moral reference
point to the letter, or do you use a modified interpretation of it?
If your parents were of another religious persuasion do you think you would
follow that religion instead?
Do you believe in heaven (i.e. somewhere your body and/or spirit goes when
you die)? If so, how do you envisage heaven?

I may relate to him as a human person, but I don't think of God as a human
person.
Not sure what entity he is. A divine force of goodness, maybe? This is quite
hard John.

He may do? I'm not sure about that one.

I know that was two questions John, but if a member of your family said
they were pregnant and hadnt came in contact with sperm, would you
believe them?
as it has been proved you can not have a male child without sperm.

No. maybey some ascended form thats no longer solid or visible.

Yes..

No, theres no scientific back up but i believe the bible and koran and other
ancient religious books are just interperatations of things which happend
and interpreted in a way that will keep generations taking its morals and
storys seriously.
