Survey About Your Religious Habits

Tweet

I put this in people because it's not really about religion per se, and although the discussion was inspired by current and recent political news it's not really about politics, rather it's about people's personal habits and views. Let me explain a little better: I'd like to ask a few simple questions of anyone who goes to church (or synagogue or any place of worship) on a regular or semi-regular basis or ever has done so, regardless of what your faith is or was. Please just answer them honestly because there's no right or wrong answer. I'm going to make it more of a multiple choice quiz than an essay. 1/ How did you choose the church you attended? a. Family b. Location c. Friends recommendation d. Liked the pastor, priest, rabbi, etc. 2/ If you considered yourself a very faithful member of the congregation was it because - a. You liked your fellow parishoners b. You liked the church itself (activities, charities, etc.) c. You liked the pastor, etc. 3/ If the pastor gave a "controversial" sermon and you weren't in attendance, which do you believe would be the most likely to happen? a. You'd possibly never hear about it. b. A fellow member would be sure to tell you about it. c. You may or may not hear of it the next time you attend. 4/ If you had come to realize you disagreed with the current pastor on a few matters, would you - a. Immediately quit and find another church b. Stay there because you still liked your fellow members and the church/denomination itself c. Stop going to church until a new pastor was hired. d. Still go, but maybe less frequently. 5/ Even if your pastor had married you and baptized your children and even had been the one to get you to join the church would you consider him to be - a. One of the most important people in your life b. Someone who had been good to you and who you respected even if you sometimes disagreed. c. Just your pastor, no more, no less. Like I said, there are no correct answers to this and I'm sure everyone won't answer the same. My personal answers are 1/a, 2/a&b, 3/c, 4/b/, 5/b Annie
