Answer 1

#1-Atheist
#2- yes
#3-liberal

Answer 2

#1) Christian

#2) yes I believe in Evolution, i'm not that ignorant. I just think that something had to create the universe. There are some things that can't be explained by science - ghosts for example. Maybe Evolutionist isn't the word then right?

#3) I still can't make up my mind about whether i'm a conservative or liberal - i'm taking the middle road for now!

Answer 3

1. Nontheist. God(s) are irrelevant.

2. Evolution is real and it is used to solve problems in the world every day.

3. Some of each. I mostly agree with conservative positions for liberal reasons. I guess that means I'd be viewed as an outcast in both camps.

Answer 4

1) No religion.

2) I believe in evolution.

3) I am neither conservative or liberal.
You can't just have one or the other. I have some conservative views, and some liberal, etc. We need both...viriety...to keep each other from gaining too much power, and to keep the government from being to far to the right or left. It is like the economy. When there is no competition, the company gets too powerful, prices go up, and the people suffer.

Answer 5

1. I have no Gods (Atheist)
2. I believe in Evolution! I am trying to pursue a career in Paleoanthropology.
3. I would say im in between both. Some issues I can be liberal about some im Conservative.

Answer 6

1. I'm a naturalistic hedonist. Mom Nature is my god.
2. I am an evolutionist.
3. I'm liberal with some middle of the road leanings.

Answer 7

1. I am an atheist/agnostic and a humanist. I don't believe in gods or religion but I do believe there is a higher power (an energy force, if you will) that helped to create this universe along with science. I don't mean a king in the sky or some actual entity, just a force that is within and around all of us. It becomes most apparent to me in the daisy chain effect compassion and kindness have on humanity. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. I do not claim to know whether or not human beings have a soul but I believe it in my way. What happens after death is up for grabs - as I haven't died, I couldn't tell you if there is more than just ground. If I had, I still couldn't tell you for... for obvious reasons.

2. Yes & no: Yes, because I believe in truth, and the truest truths lie in absolute fact. There is no doubt species intrinsically adapt to their surroundings and find progressive means of improving themselves. The increase in life expectancy over the years is in itself proof. All one needs to do is study the billions and trillions of organisms that have learned to survive in formerly uninhabitable environments. And no, because the "-ist" of evolutionist denotes belief rather than fact and has taken on a tone, especially in America, of 'faith' and 'conjecture' rather than scientific knowledge. Creationists use the term 'evolutionists' to get the point across that it is merely a belief and not proven fact. Scientists almost never use this term. I do not believe evolution explains everything, but I also do not claim to know what else does, except a 'collective consciousness' of sorts.

3. I am, by all accounts, liberal on most if not all issues.

Answer 8

I'm an Episcopalian.

# 2 - Are you an Evolutionist Yes, I accept the theory of evolution

# 3 - Are you "conservative" or "liberal". Neither. I consider myself a moderate with liberal leanings.

Answer 9

1. Asatru. The Æsir The Vanir: Odin, Frigga, Thor, Sif, Idunna, Saga, Heimdall, Freyja, Freyr, Forseti, Tyr, Nerthus, Njord, Skadi, Vali, Vidar, Vor, Syn, Sunna, Sjofn, Ran, Thrud, Eir, Lofn, Loki, Hella, Sigyn, The Norns, The Disir, the Landsvættir, etc..
2. Yes
3. I'm neither really, I'd lean more towards the left..let's just say a gun-toting tree hugger. ;-)

Answer 10

1) I don't have a religion.
2) Yes, I accept evolution.
3) Liberal.

Answer 11

I am agnostic, and do not believe in God or gods.

I believe in evolution because the odds are WAAAAY in favor of it, but I don't preach it like evolutionists do.

I am neither conservative nor liberal. I weigh my choices as I encounter them, assess the outcomes, and make my decisions based on experience and intelligence instead of mindlessly choosing one side or the other. Besides, this country isn't red & blue anymore; it's more purple. Only idiots are extreme left or right wingers.

In short, I'm in the middle, on the fence, a wallflower in your experiment. I seek balance in my life, and choose to be an individual.
