I am Muslim and Islam is a complete way of life. It tells man about the purpose of his creation and existence, his ultimate destiny, his place among other creatures and more importantly, it provides him with guidance to lead a balanced and purposeful life which will enable him to avoid the Hell-fire and be rewarded with a place in Paradise in the life after death. Simply Islaam is to "Obey Allah" (Allah is the Name of the Only One True God). Islaam is a verb in Arabic (a doing word). The one who does Islaam is called a Muslim. (Allah calls us "Muslims" in His Speech of Qur'ân).
The Arabic word Islaam means voluntary surrender to the will of Allaah and obedience to His commands. Allaah is an Arabic word, the proper name of God. Muslims prefer to use Allaah rather than God.

I attend church twice a day (morning and evening) and a bible study at least once a week. I am also responsible for printing the church bulletins.
However, those things don't get me into heaven. It's only through the righteousness of Christ. This fact I meditate on everyday.

C and E. I go to church every Sunday and actually pay attention. I think about God daily and pray to Him every day, even if it is not always for very long. I often think about God before I make decision too.

I'm going with E although I have a bit of guilt attached to that..It is the words, "good deal of time"...that is not exactly how I would put it. I don't pray enough and I don't study my Bible enough, but I do try.

I am Roman Catholic and go to church every day for daily Mass. I try to conduct myself as how God wishes me to be--good, holy, Christlike. Therefore, it is just about 24 hours/day.

(H) I'm sitting on the proverbial fence when it comes to God, and if I were leaving it up to the insipid ramblings of Christian posters here to sway me, I'm afraid I'd be inclined to fall on the Atheist's side.
I'm still contemplating though.

E) Everyday too and yet I believe faith and religion are two different things I'm spending time with God in my faith.
