c) No.
d) Many are, some aren't. I often find that most people don't know much about their religion.

Answer 2

a)What is your religion?
-I am a Christian, and I'd prefer to call it a relationship, not a Religion.(because it's not a religion)
b)do you go to mass every week?
-I go to church, not mass, mass is catholic, it is a Latin word as well.
c)do you pray every day?
-I pray when I need help, or when I feel bad, or any other time I need someone to talk to, or even when I'm just doing nothing...I usually pray at least once a day, but not always.
d)Do you think people are lazy when it comes to religion?why?
-I'm not sure what you mean exactly, lazy? being a Christian, being Lazy isn't really that easy, you don't have much you need to do, there are no rituals you must do, there's no crazy things you have to do every day or anything...I would say no to your question
e)Do you think religion is important?why?
I think my faith is important, I think my relationship with jesus Christ is important. if you consider that a religion, then yes.

Answer 3

a) Satanist
b) NO
c) Satanist shun the terms "hope" and "prayer" as they are indicative of apprehension. If we hope and pray for something to come about, we will not act in a positive way which will MAKE it happen.
d)Yes, times have changed and people are always looking for the easy way out "Sloth". Say one thing and do another
d)Yes, men need ritual and dogma in their lives due to the fact they can not answer all questions in their own lives.

Answer 4

a) I don't follow a religion I am atheist.
b) No I don't go to mass
c) I never ever pray
d) I think people who do not question their beliefs and world view are lazy...we all pay the price for their laziness eventually.
e) I think life makes more sense without the confusion of religion... it is good to have reality to build your life on rather than the supernatural floating in and out of your life and melting under you feet all the time.

Answer 5

a) Jehovah's Witness
b) Mass, no (that's Catholic). I attend Christian meetings 3 times a week.
c) We pray several times a day, though not at any prescribed times.
d) People are totally lazy when it comes to religion. Most today are looking for the 'religion that's right FOR THEM'. This way they can go on doing what they want. They should be looking for the religion that's RIGHT, then make the necessary changes.
e) A relationship with God is of primary importance, and by meeting with fellow believers (which requires organized religion), we have our faith strengthened.

Answer 6

A -- Protestant Christian.
B -- "Mass?" No.
C -- Yes.
D -- No. People have the right to regard or disregard religion any way they choose to. Thus, there is no point in accusing them of "laziness" or anything else.
E -- Religion is just as important as each invividual person regards it to be. And isn't it wonderful that we have freedom of religion? (Now if only the obnoxious people who *actively* proselytize would just find some far more useful pastime!)

To "Jeanmarie" -- NO, it does NOT "need" to be Christianity. It can be any religion (or no religion), as a person chooses!

-- "Roadrat" -- Normal, sensible, fair-minded, and TOLERANT Christian.

Answer 7

a) Atheist
b) No
c) Never
d) Not lazy, just hypocrites.
e) No, I do not think religion is important. People need to learn to take responsibility for their own actions.

Answer 8

a. baptized orthodox christian when I was a few months old. Agnostic now
b. no
c. no
d. no, not in my country anyway. Many of them think the key is in making the rituals, so they all go to church on every holiday, every sunday... every ... every .... and when trhey leave church they go and gossip a little with the neighbour, about someone they met in the church. So you see, they don't really apply their faith teachings in their every day life, only the rituals
e. it is a huge aspect of everyone's life, so I guess it is

Answer 9

a-Christian
b-We call it service-yes
c-Yes-pray many times a day
d-Lazy? I wouldn't call it lazy just selfish if they are believers and uneducated if non-believers.
e-religion important- Yes-and it must be christianity-"I am the way the truth and the life NO one comes to the father but through me." This is a huge stumbling block for non christians and this is the reason he can be so offensive-Jesus is the ONLY way.
