I'm a senior in high school and so close to graduating... but I still have a homework assignment to do that I need your help with. I have to make a survey of people and what they believe. Is there anyone willing to aswer about ten questions for me? actually, if a could get three people, that would be better. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks!

I have received several complaints about this thread already, and as John says we do not want a repeat of the pope thread. For the time being I think the thread should stay up, that being said however i can see how some of the comments made might be seen as intentionally provocative. In the interests of The Limping Lady's graduation i see no reason why the survey should not continue, but being seen as 'neutral' by many sleuthers i will from now on be deleting anything that seems intentionally provocative.

Kris, since you are 'this thread's moderator,' are we okay to discuss?

I can understand if for any reason this thread needs to be shut down. I am grateful for the help I've recieved thus far so I want to thank all of the participators. It was not my intention to start anyhting unpleasant or uncomfortable and I must say that I think we've stayed away from that very well.

Discussion in a calm, friendly manor is always encouraged. I am not moderator of the thread jojo, just looking in on it because of a few complaints already, just keeping it in check.

Yes, you are okay in setting up this thread. It is just hard to control opinions and emotions in moderating.

Funny how controversy tends to follow on the heels of the things that are most interesting, no?

Good luck LL as you Limp towards the end of high school...let us know how your survey goes, and maybe we can all whistle the graduation music for you or something :)

Personally I fail to see how anything that's been written here so far could be damaging to anyone's frail emotions. This thread is not even a discussion but only a query into opinions on a certain subject.

If complaints are the be all and end all of everything no one can express any opinion at all anymore. I think we should be worried more about the fact that some people can't live with the idea that others might have different views than what they were told.

I rest my case...

Do these questions apply only for Christians? Cos I'm not one. I've read the Bible just for knowledge.

OK I want answer these questions, since they are mostly directed towards Jesus Christ, Bible, Church and Christianity. I'm Hindu and so cannot say much about them. Though, I have read the Bible (A briefer version of the old and new testemant).

There are so many religions, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Christianity etc etc etc. To think, newer ones are being introduced still. Yet, we all believe in god in the various forms made by religion.

I want to know the answer of this question even though it may involve slight controversy (please dont delete it). How can a person of one religion say that his religion is real and all others are wrong?

If I being a Hindu were to say that Bhagwan (Hindi for God) is the only one and the great battles between the Devas and Rakshasas were real, then obviously there was no Old Testemant. No Moses, Abraham, Jacob, Adam & Eve and no Jesus as the son of God.

Similarly, If the history of the Greeks and Romans, their Gods, is to be believed than theirs is the one and only religion and no other.

So while we all believe in our own religions, whose is the real one. There is no doubt that there can only be one real religion.

Who can explain to me that his religion is the real one.
