Recently in one of my online “discussions” (read “arguments”), I was in a heated debate with another heathen unbeliever about what a Christian is. He was, I think, being rather generous in describing Christian beliefs, and stated that most Christians don’t actually believe the key tenets of their faith. He instead asserted that most had a more liberal deistic belief, and that they called themselves “Christian” mostly out of tradition. Needless to say, I’m intrigued to see if this is the case.
CLICK FOR SURVEY
To that end, I’ve developed a simple survey to measure Christian beliefs. If you consider yourself a Christian, please respond as honestly as possible about what religious statements in the survey you believe to be literally true. Note that when I say “literally,” I mean that a statement like “angels exist” really and truly means that there are ethereal entities called “angels” that work as agents of a supreme being and interact with humanity on his behalf, not that sometimes people do angelic things and they are metaphorical “angels” doing the work of a higher power. You dig?
So have at it, and please answer honestly with the literal interpretation in your mind. Feel free to pass the link on to any of your Christian friends. This is for any denomination that considers itself Christian. So, if you would ever self-identify as a Christian (were someone to ask you if you were one) then this survey is for you. I will share the survey results in a blog entry once I get the preset number of respondents (which may be a long while, at the rate my blog is viewed). Looking forward to your answers!
