I am 26, have four beautiful children who mean the world to me. Three of them are of both heart and body and one just from my heart.
I teach them right from wrong, I make sure they are safe at all times within my control, and worry about them when they are in someone else's care.
I have been married for five years this month to a wonderful yet frustrating man. I was still a virgin when we met, because I believed that it would be best to wait for the "one".
We have great loving relationships with all of our families, and have huge get togethers with EVERYONE related by blood or by love at least four times a year.
I try not to lie, cheat, steal, kill etc...
I enjoy all people and respect their views as their own and do not treat them poorly for it....

How do I rate on your scale? I have purposely left out any mention of religion to make a point, and welcome all opinons...

Okay, and now, as some already expect, here is the punchline:

I AM AN ATHEIST

How many of those high marks will almost certainly go down to nothing with an announcement like that?

You are right, I did not tell of the frustration that married life brings at times nor of my getting irritated by the seemingly ceaseless whining by four kids so close in age.
I did not say these things because every life has these challenges, and I didn't think it necesary...

Sounds good so far. I know you're hiding behind my monitor, just waiting to jump out and say "Aha! See how good I am and I'm not even a Christian? What do you say about that??"

Your good works are just fine, keep it up! Whatever you do though, don't think that those works are going to get you into Heaven when you die.

Jesus alone has the power to guarantee you a spot in Heaven. (Saying this is narrow minded is like saying that my belief that 2+2=4 is narrow minded......it's not narrow minded, just accurate.) Just be sure you know where you're going when you leave this world.

You are passionate and compassionate. You are dedicated and loyal. You are respectful and, with four children, patient. You are commited to your core values and comes forth in your actions and words.
On a scale of 1(just likeable) to 5(almost perfect), you would rate a 5. Only one has ever been perfect in every area of life and He died a long time ago.
Your religious belief system is not a factor because you are a beautiful person on the inside. As a Christian man and minister, I have learned to accept the differences in opinion of all man kind. Though I may not agree with them, I accept them just the same. I have met religious people who are physically attractive but ugly inside. And the other way around. The same holds true for non-religious people also.

God bless you and I hope you get the answer you are looking for.

The best I can do is a little assessment. You present an average to normal picture for this day and age.

If you are looking for judgment; then it must be from God who looks upon the heart. There are people, more moral than you are, which are evil beyond measure.

At 26 you have yet to be proved in heart. Your conduct is your conduct. The truth is no persons conduct is the result of the religion they subscribe to; except in a general context of their early upbringing.

In other words your actions prove what is in your heart and in no way justify any religion on earth. What is in any heart does not even justify the individual, as no flesh is justified before God.

Finally your morality or mine is not a contest, as you are attempting to set up. From a spiritual viewpoint; what you have set up is the makings for an excuse. Think about it.

You rate pretty high probably on most people's scales (despite some of the previous answers). On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate you at least 8.5 on my scale.

You appear honest with yourself and others.
You think of & protect your children.
You surround yourself with family and friends on a regular basis.
You respect others and don't appear to judge.

Can't wait to see what religion you reveal - if you do - and shock some people who are prejudiced from the beginning....

It's no place of mine to judge you. I'm a year older, no wife, no kids. I lie, cheat, & steal. Never killed atleast. I'll add that 4 kids at 26 is definitely not the life for me, but if you're happy in that life, good for you.

My dear sister in love, I cannot judge you, it is not my right. Only the God of the Universe has that right to judge. He has set the standards, He has the final word not I.
You are only an equal human to me, except in the eyes of the creator, HE alone knows our differences, good or bad,
All of them are defined in following the steps laid out for us in the Bible, so I assume we both read the bible????
So we must both Know the content as educated humans, so we both know were we lie with God....NOT each Other

You sound like a normal person. don't hear or see anything that would make you anything else other than a good person. You sound like a fun loving type woman and one who could be a great and lasting friend..a down to earth type person..why in the world would I want to judge you.

You seem fine to me. Maybe a little young to have four kids, but than again my mother had four kids by the time she was 22 and we all turned out OK.

I rate you an 8--you lack 2 points--for not already knowing that you're a 10 in the eyes of God~~

first off i dont like judging anyone for what they do. but honestly you dont seem like you are a bad person. your family orientated. you love your family so much. you seem to be caring and an all around great person. the kind who person anyone would be lucky to hang around....

...my only remark is...dont ask this kind of thing. all you did was lable great things about you. im not sayin its bad but try not to search for a pat on the back. you wrote these things. you cant think your a bad person and in the end its all about who you think you are.
