1: Not Affiliated

2: Decided on my own, used to be Catholic.

3: It’s a good choice for me.

4: Yes

5: No

6: Lots, religion fascinates me.

7: Yup, it’s an ideal lifestyle.

8: I’d love to try it out someday.

8a:Class, someone who has first hand experience, where ever.

9: Odd, our country to would be staggeringly different.

10: Are there problems: yes. Does it keep be alive: yes.

11: From a consumer driven, globalized minded monster? Not yet.

12: Yes.

13: It’s the whole perspective thing, it helps to see things through others eyes and make the best decision over all.

14: If they made it that far they deserve to be there. To be a government official who is non religious and in a Christian dominated country is highly impressive.

1:What Religion are you a part of? agnostic

2:Why? (Were you raised this way or did you choose this on your own?)raised Buddhist. came to on my own very recently

3:Do you feel that this is the right religion? for myself it is. Don’t really care what others believe or do, it’s their business.

4:Do you wish for world peace? no. I believe that wising is and end without a means to get there.

5:Do you believe in the War in Iraq? no, I served my country and still do not believe the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, etc is just.

6:How much do you know about other major religions? I have received a degree in cultural anthropology which i think makes it my business to know everyone’s beliefs and practices.

7:Do you know anything about Zen Buddhism? yes

8:Would you be willing to learn anything about Zen Buddhism? yes

8a:(If yes) where would you be most comfortable learning about it? Tibet perhaps…

9:How would you feel if America went from a predominantly Christian based country to a Buddhist based country? If it were westernized Buddhism I would feel hopeless like usual. If it were traditional, I would rejoice and perhaps indulge myself in some hope. probably not though.

10:Do you like the way the government is being run today? today, I guess. I’m terrified that our new president will be assassinated though.

11:Do you think America is ready to change? I have a been sent a glimmer of hope today but mostly I have come to lack all faith in humanity due to ignorant, idiotic persons and their self centered actions.

12:Do you think that America needs to improve our foreign policies? as always, everything can be improved to some extent.

13:Do you believe that Politicians should learn more about other major religions? Why? I seem to remember somewhere in the constitution something about freedom of religion. politicians can do what they want in this regard as long as they do not try to instill their beliefs on others.

14:Would you feel uncomfortable if the majority of our major elected official were not Christian? Why? no. the job that they do has nothing to do with god and their relationship with him, whatever that may be. As long as they do an excellent protecting and serving the public as they were appointed to do, being that they were chosen as the best able to do so.

1:What Religion are you a part of?
None

2:Why? (Were you raised this way or did you choose this on your own?)
I was raised this way, but I have explored different religions briefly, and didn’t really buy into any. So I’m still ambiguous, but kind of agnostic.

3:Do you feel that this is the right religion?
…sure!

4:Do you wish for world peace?
Every day

5:Do you believe in the War in Iraq?
Heck no

6:How much do you know about other major religions?
Not that much, honestly

7:Do you know anything about Zen Buddhism?
A minor amount.

8:Would you be willing to learn anything about Zen Buddhism?
Yes. (I would be willing to learn about many religions to broaden my perspective.)

8a:(If yes) where would you be most comfortable learning about it?
From someone I knew, as a friend or mentor. From a person, not necessarily a book or pamphlet.

9:How would you feel if America went from a predominantly Christian based country to a Buddhist based country?
Very confused. Christianity decides a lot in our country and government. It is very hard to imagine the differences. It’d be pretty crazy.

10:Do you like the way the government is being run today?
…well, Obama won, so lets just say that I’m hopeful for the future. (And no, I do not like the present government.)

11:Do you think America is ready to change?
Apparently.

12:Do you think that America needs to improve our foreign policies?
YES.

13:Do you believe that Politicians should learn more about other major religions? Why?
Yes, to understand other country’s motives.

14:Would you feel uncomfortable if the majority of our major elected official were not Christian? Why?
No, I would feel that there would be a more balanced point of view as a whole in the government.

:)

I want to change my answer 13 to the same as rjd234’s. although in America where church and state are separate, something that most every other country in the world does not offer, (the reason that we love the freedom our country provides, and some choose to give their lives to protect). an awareness for such religions that can also lead into some motives behind the actions that other governments take is necessary.

1:What Religion are you a part of?

I believe in Jesus Christ

2:Why? (Were you raised this way or did you choose this on your own?)

Yes, but with a different understanding of the Holy Bible.

3:Do you feel that this is the right religion?

I know so.

4:Do you wish for world peace?

I don’t wish for war but as far as world peace goes I leave that up to God. I know it will happen His time and His way.

5:Do you believe in the War in Iraq?

I support our troops but to be honest here, I don’t know if we get all the right information to even answer this question.

6:How much do you know about other major religions?

A little Bit

7:Do you know anything about Zen Buddhism?

no

8:Would you be willing to learn anything about Zen Buddhism?

I don’t mind hearing about others beliefs but as far as taking them as my own beliefs, no. I know Jesus Christ is real.

8a:(If yes) where would you be most comfortable learning about it?

Wouldn”t matter to me as long as the answer above is very clear.

9:How would you feel if America went from a predominantly Christian based country to a Buddhist based country?

I would be saddened by it.

10:Do you like the way the government is being run today?

No

11:Do you think America is ready to change?

Seems like the majority of people are wanting change but to be honest I don”t know what kind of change they want…not the same kind of change I want.

12:Do you think that America needs to improve our foreign policies?

Yes

13:Do you believe that Politicians should learn more about other major religions? Why?

Yes, only to the point as to not offend, for example if purple flowers were a sign of a certain religions death symbol, I think it should be known so as not to have purple flowers around. But not as far as bowing down to other God’s.

14:Would you feel uncomfortable if the majority of our major elected official were not Christian? Why?

isn’t it that way now? I don’t like it and would love to have it different

Thank you for your time

Your Welcome
