Christian God Poll
Pro-Humanist FREELOVER
- - -
The following, primarily directed at believers,
but also of interest regarding disbelievers -and-
doubters as to the manner in which your disbelief
or doubt addresses the claims made for the
Christian God:
- - -
__ 1. I believe that the Christian God exists.
a) Yes, b) No, c) Maybe, d) I want to believe,
for social/cultural reasons as well as for rea-
sons having to do with family influences, -but-
I struggle with a lot of what's presented as
'Truth' by Christian religious proponents
__ 2. I doubt or disbelieve that the Christian God
exists.
a) Yes, b) Not now c) Sometimes, d) Never
__ 3. I believe that by believing in the Christian
God in the 'right' way, you get to live for-
ever in an immortal paradise.
a) Yes, b) No, c) Sometimes, d) I wish
it was so, e) I prefer to accept that natural-
ism has no 'belief' parameters required for
immortal bliss, and instead, your immortal
fate while most likely to be simply a short-
term deal in a one-time manner, a continuance
within the constraints of the natural may be
a possibility, although it's likely to be as
riddled with downsides as was this one
and only certain opportunity to experience
it
__ 4. I believe that by falling short of believing
in the Christian God in the 'right' way, you
simply cease to exist -or- you suffer immortal
punishment -or- you get reawakened, judged,
and cast into a lake of fire for an agonizing
immortal death.
a) Yes, b) No, c) Sometimes, d) I prefer to
leave such matters up to others, as I find
the claims regarding the fate of non-Christians
to be counter to what one would expect of a
loving and caring God
__ 5. I believe that the Christian God has revealed
himself to all intelligent beings in the universe,
and has sent his son to die for their sins in every
instance.
a) Yes, b) No, as I have no belief that any intelli-
gent beings comparable to humans exist on any
planet other than earth, c) It's possible, d) I don't
believe there are any intelligent beings comparable
to humans anywhere other than on earth, and in any
case, the Christian God, in his matchless wisdom,
would provide a means of salvation unique to the
particular intelligent beings existing apart from
earth, what those means would be impossible for
humans to factually contemplate without knowing
the evolutionary and physical details of the intelli-
gent beings comparable to humans
__ 6. I believe that prior to Jesus, the Christian God had
a way for humans to get eternal salvation, that way
being to conform to the laws iterated in the Old
Testament.
a) Yes, b) No, c) Sometimes, d) I don't really care
about such matters, as all I'm interested in is the
way to get eternal salvation now
__ 7. Neanderthals, I believe the Christian God provided
them with a way to get eternal salvation.
a) Yes, b) No, c) Maybe, d) I don't really care
about such matters, as all I'm interested in is the
way to get eternal salvation now
__ 8. Muslims, the Christian God will treat them the same
way as he will treat *all* non-Christians.
a) Yes, b) No, c) Maybe, d) I don't really care
about such matters, as all I'm interested in is the
Christian way to get eternal salvation.
__ 9. Hindus, the Christian God will treat them the same
way as he will treat *all* non-Christians.
a) Yes, b) No, c) Maybe, d) I don't really care
about such matters, as all I'm interested in is the
Christian way to get eternal salvation.
__ 10. Buddhists, the Christian God will treat them the same
way as he will treat *all* non-Christians.
a) Yes, b) No, c) Maybe, d) I don't really care
about such matters, as all I'm interested in is the
Christian way to get eternal salvation.

The poll, written in America for Ameri-
cans, primarily, though many other cul-
tures have heavy Christian influences,
such as those in Europe and Russia and
proselytized lands such as the Philippines,
the many that don't, not a poll for them.
Christianity was the theme of the poll, as
the overwhelming majority of Americans
are christian-raised, christian-steeped,
christian-impacted, & christian-influenced
in a predominantly christian culture run
by an inordinate influence by christian
politicians and laws based on christian
prejudices/biases.

No, really. Never mind the seemingly endless parade of gods,
major and minor, throughout the Bible. And never mind the
always-changing depictions of the various head honcho gods,
either.
There's no way that you can tell me that the Catholic gods are the
same as the Protestant gods are the same as the Evangelical gods
are the same as the Mormon gods are the same as the New Age
Christian gods, and so on and so on.
And why are you asking questions of believers on sites dedicated
to non-believers?
Cheers,

Someone said:__ 5. I believe that the Christian God has revealed
himself to all intelligent beings in the universe,
and has sent his son to die for their sins in every
instance.
The idea that there is some kind of a creator who rules this universe
is so childishly simplistic and so obviously contrived that I hold
that no one with a modicum of education can really believe such a
hoax, yet many still pretend that they so believe, including the
author of the above-- most probably for social reasons.
