2

8. Why?
I don't believe in god. Therefore i don't believe in satan. But i don't have any problem if someone worships satan (does anybody really do that?), as long as they don't sacrifice virgin girls. Summarizing, i hate christianity but i think that worshiping satan is as stupid as worshiping god.

9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist Christians?
Unacceptable 1 2 3 4 5 Acceptable
1

10. Why?
They usually are intolerant people who try to control other people's lives. But i can't blame them because they were brainwashed when they were children.

11. How many of the people you know would you estimate have opinions similar to yours?
None 1 2 3 4 5 All
Dunno how many. More than 5, less than all.

12. How do you think people, not necessarily those you know, that have differing opinions on the subject get along with each other?
Not at all 1 2 3 4 5 Perfectly well
Not at all

 

[klm09]

Oops.. I suppose I should clarify that all questions followed by a "None 1 2 3 4 5 All" type of answering options are all on a scale of 1-5, where 1 would be none and 5 would be all. But Raistlin, I get what you mean.. you're "less than all, more than 5" answer would probably equate to a 3 or 4, so no problem there.

Yes

6. On a scale of 1-5 how much do you relate / agree with the message it stereotypically conveys? (anti-christianity, hate towards humanity)
1

7. What do you think about satanism / satan worship?
3 No concern

8. Why? - I think religion in general is just something that people turn to when they feel they need to belong to something. I have no such wish, if other people want to indulge in religious behaviour then let them be...


9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist Christians?
1 Not just Christianity but all religions.

10. Why? - Because they mainly boycott other peoples beliefs and consider their own to be the true religion when most of them have no idea about the other faiths.

11. How many of the people you know would you estimate have opinions similar to yours?
4 Most

12. How do you think people, not necessarily those you know, that have differing opinions on the subject get along with each other?

6. On a scale of 1-5 how much do you relate / agree with the message it stereotypically conveys? (anti-christianity, hate towards humanity)
Not at all 1 2 3 4 5 Completely -4

7. What do you think about satanism / satan worship?
Unacceptable 1 2 3 4 5 Acceptable -4

8. Why? -Depends which form of Satanism but in general it's beliefs we are entitled to have and nobody knows why we're here or what's really acceptable/unacceptable so I believe we should explore whatever pathways passion takes us.


9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist Christians?
Unacceptable 1 2 3 4 5 Acceptable -4

10. Why?
They're just making fools of themselves and it looks funny, anyone should be allowed to do whatever they want, so I can't see the problem.

7. What do you think about satanism / satan worship?
(depends on what they do, just sitting in the garden next to a burning pentagram is ok I think, the more serious it gets, the less acceptable it is. Forcing someone to do stuff is over the line. In general I think it's pretty acceptable.. and corpse paint looks cool )

8. Why? ...

9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist Christians? 1

10. Why?
They do retarded things "in the name of God" and are in obstacle to any kind of progress. Any kind of fundamentalism / extremism is bullshit anyway. If you're not open minded, keep your mouth shut, too. Period.

7. What do you think about satanism / satan worship?

8. Why?
To believe in Satanism is to accept the fact that the Christian God does exist.


9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist Christians?
Unacceptable

10. Why? Fundamentalist anything is unnecessary. Most fall victim to their own preachings and don't realize it. Judging others, murdering non-Christians, etc. Fundamentalists ignore their teachings to force their way of life on others. Hypocrisy in its purest form.


11. How many of the people you know would you estimate have opinions similar to yours?
I don't know, don't care.

12. How do you think people, not necessarily those you know, that have differing opinions on the subject get along with each other?
Depends on the person, really, so I'd say 3.

Unacceptable 1 2 3 4 5 Acceptable

8. Why? Obviously if I believe in Christianity strongly, I am going to find its inversion unacceptable. Satanism both in its traditional/ritual form as well as its modern form as the worship of self and total devotion to a post-modernist, relativist lifestyle and doctrine is destructive both to society and to one's self.


9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist Christians?
Unacceptable 1 2 3 4 5 Acceptable

Can't answer/5

10. Why? It's a loaded question, which to answer is to lend factual credibility to an opinion that Christians who adhere to or believe in biblical principals are against the grain of the majority of people's thoughts or beliefs, and therefore controversial. If the sample for the study is only people who are likely to be anti-christian, then the question is still pandering to those people and is likely to illicit a slanted response! But - for the hell of it - i'll give it a five anyway.

Thank you so much! That's about all I need; you can keep on posting, but unfortunately as my deadline is fast approaching I'm gonna have to start collating and analyzing the data now.
