Worldview survey, please answer!?

1. Yes, I do think there is the universal truth. The universal works on truth, on law, it is a strict, and precarious "author-ity" figure in my book.

2. Yes. One does not choose their color, plus the more races, the more diverse backgrounds the better the culture if it is open to equality. I think racism is very narrow-minded, considering we are all colored people.

3. I think its wrong to judge them in a put down way, but in debate or conference the parties should be willing to place their standards under the lights of speculation.

4. I don't use the word morality, I simply give credence to standards.

5. It depends on the seconds in which the life is existing, that is it can be found in ever moment if one has eyes to see it. Maybe that is more the purpose of being, and instead the purpose of life is to experience life; so said the frog on the lily pad when I asked it this question about its purpose.

6. Same thing that happens before a person is alive.

7. He? God doesn't have testicles, unless he is man - which it is (also woman and everything else). Its really just what is known as an archetype to represent a psychological set of characteristics for oneself, that answers questions or defines the psyche well.

8. My view of god doesn't fit in with this whole, "Higher being create it" philosophy, I believe the universe create itself, I know there is a biological term that means it, "self-created," but I can't recall how to spell it. Much like the clouds create the water, and the water creates the clouds, and the land creates the clay and the clay shapes to the hands. (kind of a riddle) Therefore my relationship with God, that is the creating force is probably at an 8, but I still have a lot to learn about myself.

1.Do you think there is any universal truth, things that are true regardless of a person's opinion? Why or why not?

I do not feel that there are universal truths because people are far to opinionated. Someone is always going to have a different opinion than someone else.

2.Do you think that racism is wrong, in other words, hating people simply based on their ethnicity? Why or why not?

Yes, I think that racism is wrong. Judging or hating someone based on something they have no control over is unfair.

3.Do you think it is wrong to judge another person's beliefs or actions? Why or why not?

I think that everyone judges people, but I try not to because again I think it is unfair to the person you are judging to label them before knowing them.

4.Do you think morality in America is getting better or getting worse? Why?

I do not live in america.

5.What do you think is the purpose of life?

I don't know that we have a purpose but I feel we should live our lives as happily and healthy as possible.

6.What do you think happens when a person dies? Why?

I believe that when we die, we die. There is no afterlife, and it is just a part of life.

7.What is your view of God? What is He like?

I do not believe in God. I do however believe that the idea of God helps people.

8.If it were possible to have an intimate relationship with God how would you rate your desire to have that type of relationship, 1 to 10, with ten being high?

0

__ I will humbly contribute a little , if i may .

1.To me , the fact that many that don't have any communication with each other , reach to the same conclusions in some matters , is one more indication that there is one truth for every subject .

2.Racism and prejudice is wrong . Because there is good and evil , intelligent and stupid , beautiful and ugly , in every race and/or ethnicity .

3.When meditating ( while working , driving , walking , or sitting on the sofa ) , i prefer to take every ones behavior and choices as granted and dictated by an inner , higher than my ego , power .

When contributing in the improvement of a -political or other- situation ( through a very questionable belief that heaven's bounty is put at my disposal ) , i judge with my ( surely questionable again ) criteria .That is what i would suggest ( all though i hate the idea of encouraging anybody to embrace my opinions ) .

4.Morality in a country is not measurable , for me .

5.Not every one has the same purpose of life .

6.Same thing that happened before the person was born , seems logical .

7.I can say the highest principal i have seen , which is christianity's ''Non-built Light'' , or Hindu and Buddhism's ''The Impersonal Brahma'' .

8.I would leave it up to Him .

1. Yes, because the laws of physics are not held together by an amalgam of opinion.

2. The exception to the rule is people who, for whatever reason, take their own birthmark too seriously. They've already determined a racial position. If you choose your own collectivism, I'll see you as a cog. If you are individualist, I see you as a human. If your race is your cog, then you're not a human to me, your a collection of dead ideas with feet.

3. Usually, it's not worth the energy to judge other people's beliefs or actions, because I'm too busy trying to have my own.

4. Morality changes with every new generation. Every so many generations culture turns more inward, introverted, asexual and more focused on things like accomplishment and erudition. A few generations later, people are shallow, materialistic, promiscuous and profligate. Every cultural shift exists for a reason and is subject to what it's environment allows. Utilitarianism produces a conservative, monogamous, craft and thrift driven people, whereas a world of excess cheap resource will always produce the classic "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" culture. America is far from the first culture to experience this, nor will it be the last.

5. The purpose of life is to ask questions and hope we don't really find the answers. The answer is the end of the game.

6. Same thing that happens to a person before birth.

7. Which one?

8. Wouldn't that be the inter-dimensional equivalent of bestiality? Is God some sort of Furry?

1. Yes. Truth is merely reality, and reality exists. What's true is what's real, and what's real is what's true.

2. Yes. First of all, racism leads to nothing but trouble. It is an excuse to treat others with malevolence. Second, it is pre-judging. Racism is considering a person guilty of some sin or deficiency without bothering to weigh the evidence (of which there is usually none).

3. No, it's not wrong to judge another's beliefs or actions. Both beliefs and actions have consequences, and if those consequences are bad, then those beliefs and actions should be opposed.

4. Neither. It's tempting to say that it's getting worse, but it's a matter of perspective. People from times immemorial have been saying that the next generation is less mannered, less civilized than their own. But it's just a case that most people don't remember how unruly their own generation was when they were young. Also as a person gets older, they also get more mature, and this can contribute to a perception of immaturity among younger generations.

5. There is no "the" purpose of life. We are all sentient, self-aware beings with free will. As such, our lives are ours to do with as we please. This means we each get to make our own purpose.

6. When we die, our consciousness comes to an end, and our bodies decay. We know for a fact from neuroscience that everything that makes you, "you"--your personality, memories, experiences, talents, tastes, quirks, etc.--is stored in your brain as interconnections between your neurons. Your brain is in a very literal sense, a giant neural network. When you die, your neurons shrivel up and the connections between them are broken and lost. All the information that defines you as a person is permanently lost. Your subjective consciousness comes to an end, and there is only oblivion upon death. While we still don't know _everything_ about how the brain works, we do know enough to say with great confidence that there is no need for a soul or other supernatural force to explain any of the brain's workings. Nor has anyone ever found any evidence of a soul. The only rational conclusion is that we are purely natural beings whose existence ends when we die.

7. I assume you're talking about the Abrahamic god of the three major monotheistic religions? My view of this god is no different from my view of the literally thousands of other gods* that men have sincerely believed in and worshiped. Gods are relics from our more primitive past, before mankind had much in the way of rational thought, science, or any knowledge of how the world worked.

8. A lot of theists will accuse me of being "in denial" of their god, but I would have to say a 1. I have no more desire to have a relationship with someone else's god than I do to have a relationship with a leprechaun, ogre or unicorn. I want _real_ relationships with _real_ people. Imaginary friends are something people are supposed to grow out of by the time they hit puberty.

Probably not the answers you were expecting, but I hope this helps.

a million. Yes. The opinion of every character is so man or woman, they could never have the distinctive identical reply. There is common fact, aside from individuals, that exists as a degree with which to type a foundation upon. It is unchangable and does now not waver in its position. two. Yes. Racism is improper. There is not ever a well ample intent to hate anybody given that of the color in their dermis or their ethnic tendencies. three. Yes. It is not ever well to pass judgement on men and women's ideals. Actions, nonetheless, are a different subject. If anybody is intentionally harming you or your person given that in their movements, that's simply as improper as judging. four. Worse. Even as low as twenty years in the past, the morality of the U.S. has depleted so swiftly that it's fitting the 'norm'. Respect, predicament, judgment of right and wrong, dignity, honour, faithfulness, thoughtfulness, kindness, or even love for loved ones is now only a reminiscence. five. My private cause of lifestyles is to discover my as far back as God by way of Jesus. I can not talk for someone else. 6. This query is simply too tricky to reply. Right now, at this very minute, no one fairly is aware of what occurs while a character dies. 7. God is my the whole lot. I search Him with all my middle. I positioned Him first in my lifestyles over someone else. What is He like? Imagine probably the most "best" dad or mum you would ever potentially desire. Loving, however corporation. Giving, however now not spoiling. Teaching with honesty, but freely conscious of questions. Kind, however now not a pushover. Shows you the right approach to do matters to support you prevail, now not principal or harmful to vanity. The high-quality factor approximately God is that He is ALWAYS there while you want Him, irrespective of the intent. eight. I do have an intimate courting with God. My wish to hold that courting, and to construct it up and make it more potent is a certain 10.

1) Yes, there is a world beyond our senses and its nature is independent of our perspectives. Like how tall a mountain is.

2) Racism is always unethical and unjustifiable. Even if personality-types and race correlated, it is unfair to judge a person on something they did not choose about themselves.

3) I think it is fine to judge beliefs and actions as we are all entitled to our opinions but we must tolerate opinions different to ours.

4) Morality is subjective but I think that for the most part has only shifted to a better morality in my opinion. Less traditional values.

5) To be happy and make others happy. And to a lesser extent reproduce.

6) It is like a dreamless sleep that never ends. I don’t really know for sure but it seems by far the most feasible as anything else just feels like wishful thinking and magic.

7) If I acknowledge a god, it is not like how he depicted in any Abrahamic religion. They did not create creation, they are merely a subject within it. They are fallible and finite. Alternatively, god functions essentially as a metaphor for “the way of things”. When someone say “it’s all about this”. “It” in that context, is basically a synonym for god.

8) 6/10. Depends on the nature of this god.
