How you are in real life?
How much you follow what you preach? Do you seek guidence in your day to day problems from Holy Books?
Thanks for the honest answers.

I'm the same person in real life that I am around here -- a strong Christian believer with a bad habit of being sarcastic, which I am trying to break. I've studied the Bible for over 40 years now, and I try to apply it to the daily situations in my life.
Sometimes I'm not a good example of Christ's love and mercy because I get angry and go on the attack. Again, I know it's wrong, and I'm trying to do better.
Take a look at my past responses, and you'll see that I follow a pretty consistent pattern that way: some good loving responses, a few where I snap and let the person have it, and some sarcasm spread throughout the posts.

I am the same from day to day. I sin, and admit I am a sinner on here and to anyone I speak to. I make mistakes and sometimes offend those who I love. I ask their forgiveness and try not to commit that offense again. I am forgiving toward those who offend me.
Sometimes, when I read a question or give advice, it opens my eyes to my own mistakes. So, being here on YA really helps me out, too. I can then put my own advice (or the advice of others) to work in my everyday life. But, much of the advice I give comes from me being there before and knowing how I handled it and what I did wrong or right.
I do seek guidance--EVERYDAY. I pray to the Holy Spirit to guide me and give me wisdom, and I do look for passages that pertain to my weakness or problem at hand.

Personally, I have no reason to be different here than in real life. Being anonymous helps perhaps. The main difference is that I do not present myself, I only present answers -- and that might define me to a degree, but it is incomplete.
In real life there is no difference, I do practice what I preach. I go to God for my day to day problems, but I do know His Word extremely well. If the Bible tells the answer, then I know it, if it is not specific, then I pray about it.

In real life, Im the same person I am here. I believe the same, and would offer the same answers to anyone face to face as I do on the board.
I dont, nor have I ever claimed, to be one of those people who rely on the Bible to make it through everyday. I admit, I dont read it as much as I want to. I'll work on that.
And that is my honest answer. You can check my past answers, they are always the same, sometimes I vary though, if I have learned something from a post, and realized I may have answered it harshly.
Interesting question, thanks!

Well, I think I could improve in many areas of my life such as being lazy, not cleaning my room, having dirty thoughts ( you wanted honest answer!) and more stuff like that. However, despite of that I consider myself to be a good Muslim. I seek guidance, read the Quran, but I admit I don't pray. There I wrote it. Phew. In my defense, I pray but not the formal way.

I try to be. And yes, I know so much about my holy book, because I actuality DO use it for guidance.

I follow it. It isn't that hard. The only laws of Wicca are Harm None and whatever you do comes back to you. Everything else is your choice.

I am simply non religious. I'm Agnostic.
