Social Science - 1 September 2006

I thought up a somewhat simple correlation study I'd like to see done some day.
In a book I once read it stated that people need fantaxcy in their lives and that's the reason people are inclined to join religion. The book takes the possition that religious dogma is simply fiction.
So my experiment is to assemble an anonymouse survey asking questions that would assess the amount of fictional media (such as video games, movies, TV programs, and books with a fantastical theme) each person being surveyed experiences. These surveys would be taken by an equal amount of Atheists and Theists (chosen randomly, of course; Theists being the control group and Atheists the test group) and the data compiled.
Were that book of mine to be true, it would show that Atheists do in fact experience more fantasy-themed media than Theists.

My question: what do you think the results would show?

For example watching people catch fire and burn, or a flash flood crash into a village (while being personally safe)..... something that simultaneously intensely stimulated the senses and seemed horrific or shocking because of its effect on other people or creatures.

What durable effect has it had on you?

War should always be a last action resort, going in with the utmost reluctance after all other methods for resolution has been attempted. But the word war and bombing them, taking other people's live like those "Muslims" did to us on 9/11 seems so much more common, said without the horrors of the past. Are American's more warlike, are we more willing to destroy another's culture, people and civilization? Is this what America will be known for at the start of the new Millinium? And what caused America to change so much?

I’m not depressed I’m happy, have love, and that’s all I need I don’t want money or to “be productive to society” I don’t care, I just want to be happy but am constantly made to think that my way of thinking is wrong maybe the question should be
Why do you care about doing and achieving?

Why is my thinking wrong?

I have trouble motivating myself to do anything... go to work, clean the house, take care of routine errands, etc.
Is motivation something you are born with, or can it be learned or taught?

Those neo-Nazi white supremacist types always act like Jews are pure evil or something, and they're so insistent that they're not white, despite the fact that the European Jews spent thousands of years in Europe. Their conspiracy theories about how Jews control the world and are out to get everyone are totally insane. I come from a Christian background, but I could never understand anti-Semitism.
