[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]1. Do you believe in God? [/b]
Yes.  As Spirit, the loving source of all that is. The one power, all good, everywhere present, all wisdom.  Not in the angry, smitey judge with a long white beard sitting on a throne kind of way.
[b]2. Do you believe in a "higher power" or intelligent force at hand? [/b]
Yes
[b]3. Do you participate in organized religion?[/b] 
Yes
[b]4. Do you believe most of the tenets of your religion? [/b]
My religion has very loose tenets.  So yes.
[b]5. Which religion? [/b]
Unity
[b]6. How often do you pray? [/b]
Many times every day
[b]7. How often do you attend religious services? [/b]
It depends on what you mean by "services".  I attend a church service every Sunday morning.  But I practice my faith daily.
[b]8. How were you brought up in religion? Same religion as now? [/b]
I was raised in an evangelical southern baptist church.  Very different from my faith now.
[b]9. How are you bringing up your children wrt religion? [/b]
My children are exposed to many different spiritual paths.  I want them to find their own.  I have four grown kids and one in high school.  My oldest is a Catholic but attends UU services as well.  My second is Unity.  My third is Catholic but identified as Wicca for several years.  My fourth is all over the place right now but she leans towards Unity.  My youngest is agnostic/Buddhist today.  
[b]10. How important is your religion/spirituality to you? [/b]
I am a minister.  It's very important

Some questions about sharing that information with others: 
[b]A. Were you comfortable responding to these questions on DCUM? [/b]
Yes
[b]B. Are you comfortable discussing your true personal beliefs with friends and family? [/b]
I have to be careful with my extended family.  They are very southern baptist and are not ready to accept that no one spiritual journey is more sacred than another.  We are all on our own paths.  I believe there are many, many paths to God.  With friends I tend to be a little guarded as well.  Because I am a minister, I think people sometimes expect me to start proselytizing.  That's not at all who I am.  I love to discuss religion and spirituality.  But I'm not out to "save" people.  [b]I don't believe people need to be saved.   [/b]
[b]C. Would you share your true personal beliefs to a stranger on a telephone poll? [/b]
Sure.[/quote]

Then you're not a Christian minister, correct? Just checking.[/quote]
