When it comes to your beliefs or lack thereof, how does the way you act and speak here in cyberspace and the way you act and speak in real life compare?
How are they similar and how are they different? Are you less vocal about your beliefs in real life? More vocal?

I'm almost non-vocal about my beliefs in real life...
In real life there are about a million things more important than God.
In cyberspace there are too many funny fundies to _not_ mention God all the time.

I've been reprimanded for talking too much about religion or politics. I work in a public library. I have some influence when pushing my boss to buy a few books that may not have made the New York Times bestseller list (anything favorable towards religion, morals, freedom to start your own business, etc.) These offset the 97% of the books and magazines in our library system that bash religion, basic freedoms and morality
I still have a big mouth in the real world, but, on this site, I don't worry about getting fired.

I'm mostly the same in real life, but a bit shy. I do wear my beliefs openly, so if anyone wants to talk to me about religion, I have no problem with that. I just generally don't approach people and give them my opinion on matters in real life, nor ask their opinion on my matters.

i think im pretty much the same here in cyberspace and in real life.. although im given more chance to express myself here. im more vocal if im with my friends coz i can tell them almost everything that's going on in my head.. i believe people choose to act differently when they're with people they like and don't like in real life...

You mean this isn't real life? I don't know about the rest of you, but I am probably bolder here than I am face to face with people. I'm a rather shy person, so Yahoo Answers is ideal for me.

I find that I am just as vocal online as I am in real life. Sometimes people appreciate that, and sometimes they don't. Oh, well. I can't please anyone but myself. I try hard to not hurt people, wherever I may be interacting with them, and I try even harder to be truthful. That's why my online and offline personalities are the same.

I'm the same person in real life as I am here. The only difference is that in my day to day life, religion never enters the picture. That's reserved for this forum.
