Whatever the majority says is true is what we'll all believe from now on. Sorry. It just saves a lot of time and anger. Ready, here goes:

1. God created:
a) Everything
b) The process & rules that lead to everything
c) Nothing
d) I have no idea

2. God is:
a) Omnipresent
b) Absent
c) Here, but very, very quiet
d) I have no idea

3. God will:
a) Destroy the Universe and start over eventually
b) Let humans survive as a species until we eventually evolve into worthy colleagues
c) replace humanity with an intelligent slime-mold that eventually will evolve into a worthy colleague.
d) I have no idea.

Add your multiple-choice questions.

It's time we nailed this down once and for all!!!!

Please do try to be divinely inspired.

If you mean the majority at Hatrack, than shouldn't we ALL believe like the Mormons [Dont Know] Sorry, felt like I had to say that (Please don't hurt me [Cry]

As for answering your questions I would add:

1. e)Most things, but not everything.

2. possibly c) , but also e)physically mobile

3. hard to say. I would adjust a) <Reform> the Universe and start <again another place>. The b) portion is very close to what I believe. The largest change is in emphasis on individuals rather than species becoming colleagues. Although, I would think that the whole human species would be given the chance.

Under question 2 I would put f) In one location physically at a time, but can see all times/places at once, comprehend all times/places at once can influence all times/places in a way perfectly fitting into His plan.

Occasional is right. All of you really SHOULD be Mormons. It is so much easier that way.

Resistance is futile- you all be assimilated.

I suggest reading Oolon Colluphid's popular philosophy series:

Where God Went Wrong
Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes
Who is this God Person, Anyway?

and his stunning tribute to TomDavidson

Well, That About Wraps It Up for God

That's right-it's a thread that ended after just 18 posts (not including this one). I guess no one else thought this thread was funny or had potential.

God's influence on the individual is:
a) active and constant, regardless of whether the individual believes or not
b) Only when asked or when it's really important to God does God actually influence our lives.
c) mediated by belief, and believers are really affected by the "idea" of God, not actually BY GOD.
d) nil -- there's no God, so no real effect.
e) I have no idea

God is:
a) Inscrutable and mysterious, completely beyond our comprehension
b) A loving parent who sometimes doesn't explain things, but even that is for our own good.
c) A superior entity we can emulate and eventually become one with.
d) More of a hive mind thing and we and everything in the universe are already "God"
e) A glorious fiction invented by mankind to fill some void.
d) An insidious plot by a power-hungry shaman class bent on controlling the masses
e) I have no idea

Fallow, sorry I was not here to pull your finger last night, but it was late and I went to bed.

Hmmm, I wonder if the big bang was actually an even that happened when God asked someone to pull his finger?

No, that's just what thunder is. They were wrong about the Dutch guys bowling. God, being vegetarian, sometimes overdoes it on the beans.
