Twenty Impossible Questions
(from methodius)
What religion do you fit in with?
Do you believe that man was created in the form of God, or that man evolved from other species?
* Created
* Evolved
I don't believe they are necessarily mutually exclusive. I can think of several ways in which they could be combined, some more reasonable than others.
Are you a believer that you should try everything at least once?
* Yes.
* No.
In the sense of checking whether (metaphorical) puzzle pieces fit together, probably yes. In the sense of jumping off a tall building to see what will happen, definately no.
What do you trust more, your feelings/intuition or your logic/rational capabilities?
* Feelings/intuition
* Logic/rational
I trust my intuitive logic, as far as it goes.
Do you plan to recant on your deathbed?
* Yes.
* No.
Recant what? And why? How would anybody be able to plan to recant?
Do you often find different ways of expressing your own spirituality?
* Yes.
* No.
Different ways from what? From each other? From those of other people? How different?
Do you believe in any kind of afterlife?
* Yes.
* No.
I believe in an afterlife, but not in any kind of afterlife.
Do you believe in capital punishment?
* Yes.
* No.
Yes I do. I also believe in dogs, summer, obsessions, the moon, bravery, the flu virus, and apple pies. Why? Because they exist.
Would you prefer a career in the arts, or in something technical?
* Arts.
* Technical.
Is theology arts or technical?
Do you feel that you can be spiritual without having a religion?
* Yes.
* No.
Define "spiritual". Define "religion".
Do you believe that eventually, science will be able to explain everything about our existence and the world?
* Yes.
* No.
Everything on what level?
Do you believe that your own redemption lies in your own hands or those of a superior power?
* Your hands.
* Superior power.
Two words: monkey school.
Do you believe that you are more right brained (creative, random), or left brained (logical, mathematical)?
* Right.
* Left.
I'm both creative and logical, and neither random nor mathematical. Perhaps that means I'm ambihemispheric...
Do you feel that you need to have a spiritual side?
* Yes.
* No.
Side? Have?
Do you consider yourself gullible, even a little bit?
* Yes.
* No.
If I didn't consider myself gullible, I would be gullible.
If you were about to jump off of a cliff, with only a bungee cord attached to you, what would you be thinking?
* I feel alive.
* I wonder how many people have died doing this.
Probably both.
Until what age did you believe in the Easter bunny?
* 10 or older.
* 9 or younger.
At no age have I believed in the Easter bunny. Neither have many people outside Western Europe or North America.
Do you actively work out, and try to maintain physical health in all aspects of your life?
* Yes.
* No.
Is it possible to passively work out? What are all aspects - is a quest for immortality included?
Do you believe that the path to enlightenment/God is within yourself?
* Yes.
* No.
Are you sure that is what you mean to ask? Can the path to anything be within oneself?
Does your opinion of something differ from that of your religion (if you don't have a religion, have you actively questioned other religions)?
* Yes.
* No.
My religion doesn't have opinions. People of my religion have opinions. I disagree with some of the opinions of some of the people.
Is it important in this life to live every moment to its fullest, and try to do everything that interests you even if some people consider it immoral?
* Yes.
* No.
There will always be some people who will consider some of the things you do immoral; writing bad quizzes, for example.
