Have you ever though about...?

Sun Aug 17, 2008, 6:05 AM
  • Mood: Neutral
This is a survey I've been thinking of posting for a while now. It's about the paranormal and beyond-science stuff. These are some things that I think can vary in everyone more than you might think... at least, I think opinions would vary even in my own family.

I wish to see a wide variety of people's replies to this. So, please be polite to each other on my journal. I'll put my reply in the comments... but if you don't see it there, it's because I didn't finish because there are other things I should have been working on...

- - - - - - -

First off, what are your basic beliefs in unseeing forces in our lives?
In other words, do you believe one or more deities run the show?:

Do you at least believe that there is some sort of force that shapes out lives and binds the universe together?:

Do you believe in fate? In what way?:

Do you believe in luck?:

Do you believe in an afterlife?:

Do you believe that everyone will get what's coming to them, either in this life or the next?:

Do you believe in reincarnation?:

Do you believe in Ghosts? Spirits of the dead, good and bad, lingering in this life?:

Do you believe in hauntings?:

How about nature, do you think the Earth has a spirit or soul of some kind?:

How about rocks and trees and creatures; do they have a life? have a spirit? have a name?: (Nebulan's probably singing now, but I remember when I was young finding Pocahontas saying rocks have life being weird, but I've actually come to understand the concept better.)

Do you think spiders, mosquitos, and those other insects that bug you, have souls?:

Do you believe that nature has a deity of its own?:

What do you think about Witchcraft?:

What do you believe about Magic?:

What do you believe about historical accounts of magic, witchcraft, gods, or God?:

Do you believe that the world took longer that seven of our literal days to put together?:

Do you believe in evolution? That, as Scully put it, “the only thing more fortuitous than the emergence of life on this planet is that, through purely random laws of biological evolution, an intelligence as complex as ours ever emanated from it.”(ep 3.12) ?:

Do you believe that science as we know it today, our understanding of physics and the fundamentals of the universe are as about as accurate as they’re going to get?:

Do you believe that at least some of the miraculous events in the Bible, Torah, and Koran actually happened?:

Do you believe a man and woman named Adam and Eve actually lived several millennia ago?:

Do you believe in Noah and his flood?:

Do you believe in Lilith, Adam’s first wife?:

Do you believe in devils, demons, possession by evil spirits, and the like?:

On a completely different note, do you believe in life on other planets?:

Do you believe in intelligent life on other planets?:

Do you think aliens have ever made contact with Earth?:

Do you believe in U.F.O.s?:

Do you believe our planet is doomed?:

How much time do you give life as we know it to continue? (granted things are always changing, so life could slowly change and be very different in x about of time):

Where do you see our planet in 100 years?:

How about 1000 years?:

Can you think of similar questions that I left off?:

Do you believe that RogueDragon is a dork for making this questionnaire?:

First off, what are your basic beliefs in unseeing forces in our lives?

Do you believe in reincarnation?:I think it would be cool, but not really.

Do you believe in Ghosts? Spirits of the dead, good and bad, lingering in this life?:no, not really. I mean, we believe dark spirits roam the earth but ones of people who were once living? I dunno. I doubt they have real good reasons to.

Do you believe in hauntings?:it's possible a dark spirit has possessed a building... but nothing like ghostbusters, lol, "we should split up.""yeah, we can do more damage that way."

How about nature, do you think the Earth has a spirit or soul of some kind?:yeah, pretty much, that's why we have to respect the earth.

What do you believe about Magic?:Harry Potter is not evil darn it! You can be Christian and enjoy the stories without practicing anything evil darn ya.

What do you believe about historical accounts of magic, witchcraft, gods, or God?:Some of it roots are real, others are tradition that has distorted the myths.

Do you believe that the world took longer that seven of our literal days to put together?:yes

Do you believe in evolution? That, as Scully put it, “the only thing more fortuitous than the emergence of life on this planet is that, through purely random laws of biological evolution, an intelligence as complex as ours ever emanated from it.”(ep 3.12) ?:I believe that evolution needed help

Do you believe that science as we know it today, our understanding of physics and the fundamentals of the universe are as about as accurate as they’re going to get?:Nope. As Einstien said, "the more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know"

Do you believe that at least some of the miraculous events in the Bible, Torah, and Koran actually happened?:yup

Do you believe in intelligent life on other planets?:heck yeah

Do you think aliens have ever made contact with Earth?:... probably not. if we have, nobody's realized it.

Do you believe in U.F.O.s?:nope

Do you believe our planet is doomed?:yup (lol)

How much time do you give life as we know it to continue? (granted things are always changing, so life could slowly change and be very different in x about of time):uh... I think war will cause more destruction than pollution before we get to Wall-E's time.

Where do you see our planet in 100 years?:niftier cars, sweeet computers, more wars... and we still haven't gone back to the moon.

How about 1000 years?:uh... not much has changed but we live underwater?

:iconroguedragon:
First off, what are your basic beliefs in unseeing forces in our lives?
In other words, do you believe one or more deities run the show?:
I believe in the God of Abraham and his son Jesus Christ do an awesome job at running the universe.

Do you at least believe that there is some sort of force that shapes out lives and binds the universe together?:

Do you believe in fate? In what way? : I believe you make your own life,

Do you believe in luck?: Not at all. And I think superstitions are ridiculous. (unless they are tied to a religious belief, then I respect them, or at least try)

Do you believe in an afterlife?: Yep :)

Do you believe that everyone will get what's coming to them, either in this life or the next?: Definitely, everyone will have to deal with what they did, and it’ll all be okay.

Do you believe in reincarnation?: No, I find it confusing… well, mostly in the show “Charmed” I mean, if they all reincarnated, why did Leo’s spirit waste no time at all? And why did Grams wait so long? And maybe Prue, after getting the ball rolling with Paige, went and found Andy’s spirit and went and got themselves reincarnated together…

Do you believe in Ghosts? Spirits of the dead, good and bad, lingering in this life?: I believe the dead can linger here, but for the most part they can’t do anything without some help. Maybe evil can help just as good.

Do you believe in hauntings?: I believe the devil loves to play tricks with us too. And if he can get us all caught up in Ghost stories, he can sort of grab a hold of your fears (or just the idea) and drag you down. At least that’s what it feels like to me.

How about nature, do you think the Earth has a spirit or soul of some kind?: Yeah, and we need to be nice to her.

How about rocks and trees and creatures; do they have a life? have a spirit? have a name?: (Nebulan's probably singing now, but I remember when I was young finding Pocahontas saying rocks have life being weird, but I've actually come to understand the concept better.) : In a weird way, I think they all might, but maybe not quite souls or anything, except for animals :)

Do you think spiders, mosquitos, and those other insects that bug you, have souls?: tiny souls. Who probably don’t have much concept of reality anyway.

Do you believe that nature has a deity of its own?: No

What do you think about Witchcraft?: I think it’s been practiced for a long time, but to me, most of it has been superstition.

What do you believe about Magic?: I think there may be forces in the world that are not of a divine origin, and really shouldn’t be messed with.

What do you believe about historical accounts of magic, witchcraft, gods, or God?: look what I said above about the first two, but pagan gods, I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t let any of the Greco-Roman gods anywhere near supernatural powers! And the Judeo/Christian/Islamic God? I think his works are everywhere, it’s mainly the interpreters who make things confusing and skewy. As for Buddhist and Hindu deities? I don’t know about the Hindu, but I think that Buddha was a well-meaning guy and all.

Do you believe that the world took longer that seven of our literal days to put together?: Yeah

Do you believe in evolution? That, as Scully put it, “the only thing more fortuitous than the emergence of life on this planet is that, through purely random laws of biological evolution, an intelligence as complex as ours ever emanated from it.”(ep 3.12) ?: I really wasn’t trying to lead anyone’s answers there, it’s just when I ponder it, scientifically, it seems mind boggling that we didn’t all become Vogons! Oh, right, um… I’m pretty undecided about evolution. I think there might be some reality in it, but I haven’t decided to what extent.

Do you believe that science as we know it today, our understanding of physics and the fundamentals of the universe are as about as accurate as they’re going to get?: I think it’s going to be a lot of fun to see how much we haven’t even got the faintest clue about. I think we’re going to be blown away as science continues to progress. If we got a glimpse of the science we’ll know in the future, I think our first reaction will be, “Who could have thought?” Or rather, “Who would have hypothesized that?”

Do you believe that at least some of the miraculous events in the Bible, Torah, and Koran actually happened?: Yes, and I think Mohammed was led by God to some degree. I know Martin Luther was led by God to help start the reformation, but he was still wrong in some of his doctrines. You don’t have to be completely right to at least be moved in the right direction.

Do you believe a man and woman named Adam and Eve actually lived several millennia ago?: Yeah. And they had tons of children. “Where did Cain’s wife come from?” I mean really! If everyone born was named than the Bible would be a heck of a lot more boring than it already is!

Do you believe in Noah and his flood?: Yeah, I do. Egyptus is one of my heroes. In a time of super-high sin rate, she was able to turn from the way she was raised and embrace the gospel and join the family of the lunatic building the big boat.

Do you believe in Lilith, Adam’s first wife?: No. It’s like an ancient fan fiction Mary Sue! You know, the evil kind of Mary Sue…

Do you believe in devils, demons, possession by evil spirits, and the like?: I think the devil has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve, and his evil game hasn’t changed much at all in the millennia, we just see them now instead as mental illness or other phenomena, which, to some extend, can even include depression.

On a completely different note, do you believe in life on other planets?: w00t! Yeah.

Do you believe in intelligent life on other planets?: (see above)

Do you think aliens have ever made contact with Earth?: No, and I don’t think they’ve made contact with each other either.

Do you believe in U.F.O.s?: In the end, yeah, I think they have noting to do with aliens. I mean, don’t they have something better to do than lead Mulder on wild goose chases? I think that might be unexplained phenomena of other sorts. Like, secret technology, maybe, or northern lights, or men from Atlantis… actually, I believe Atlantis was that poor island in the Mediterranean that got obliterated by volcano. Yeah….. UFOs are actually just Sheppard and McKay having trouble with the cloaked Puddlejumper they took on a joyride… ;P

Do you believe our planet is doomed?: Dooooooooomed! No, not really; although at it’s current rate it could potentially be a very uncomfortable place to be.

How much time do you give life as we know it to continue? (granted things are always changing, so life could slowly change and be very different in x about of time): 300-500 years.

Where do you see our planet in 100 years?: still bickering about politics. I think the extremes of good and evil will increase.

How about 1000 years?: Yeah… I think the Second Coming will come before then…

Do you believe that RogueDragon is a dork for making this questionnaire?: Yes
