QUIZ: On Emily's Religion or Political Religious beliefs

[emilynghiem]

A friend of mine decided he knows that I have wasted my whole life.

Doesn't even know me, has never met my friends or family, or spent any time where
I live or volunteer, but the only time we've hung out together at all was when I go to
where HE lives or works or eats and participate in HIS world. And he thinks he knows me?

Doesn't listen or know anything about me except what he already believes.

And he decided my faith is all wrong, that I am Buddhist and can't be Christian.

So I made a quiz for him, to see if he knows enough about me to
know what I believe, in my own terms I use consistently.

For kicks, let's see if anyone here has seen enough of my messages to get
EVEN ONE WORD of this stuff
that I repeat over and over.

===========================
SECTION 1:
Secular equivalent terms I use for Christianity, Christ Jesus, etc.

(If you even get ANY of these right, that's enough.
You're already doing better than my friend who thinks he knows it all.)

When I explain what is the "one word" equivalent
that best summarizes the meaning and spirit of "Christianity"

My answer is :

"__ __ __ __ __ __ __"

(Hint: the greatest act of "__ __ __ __ __ __ __"
is F __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __,
which is more valued the less it is deserved.)


What does "Christ Jesus" mean in secular terms?
My answer in two words is:

"__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

__ __ __ __ __ __ __"

HINTS:
A.
The coming of "Jesus" with the "Holy Spirit" means
"__ __ __ __ __ __ __" coming for all humanity to bring "__ __ __ __ __ "

B.
Alternate hints: Other secular names of Christ Jesus
commonly used among the liberal activist community:
"__ __ __ __ __ and __ __ __ __ __ __ __"
"__ __ __ __ __ __ / __ __ __ __ __ __ __"
"__ __ __ __ __ / __ __ __ __ __ __ __"

C.
The Holy Trinity summarized in Unitarian Universalist "secular terms":
1. __ __ __ __ __
2. __ __ __ __ __ __ __
3. __ __ __ __ __

D.
Two of these terms appear on the Houston Police Dept Seal:
"__ __ __ __ __ __ __ with __ __ __ __ __ "
which is another equivalent of Christianity/(Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit).

E.
NOTE: Regarding faith that "Jesus is Lord"
The secular equivalent is believing in
Equal __ __ __ __ __ __ __ Under __ __ __


OKAY enough of that, I put enough questions that one of them should be easy.

* Equal Protection or Justice under Law
* Forgiveness
* Letting Go
* Meditation
* Spiritual Healing

When asked what my denomination is, I identify myself as:

2. Unitarian Universalist
3. Constitutionalist

Which do I believe or not believe in
1. Universal Salvation: Yes, No, or "Yes and No"
2. Past Life Karma, Generational Curses/Sins: Yes, No, or "These describe the same process"
3. Eternal Hell, Hell doesn't exist at all, Hell exists as a stage in a process but isn't permanent

AGAIN IF YOU GET ANY OF THESE RIGHT
I THINK YOU WILL OUTSCORE MY FRIEND
WHO ONLY CARES WHAT HE BELIEVES
AND THINKS THAT DETERMINES WHAT I AM

THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT

Love you Emily but not answering your questionnaire. I know that your faith is in your heart and you show it whether others know it or not.

Long quiz -- and rant.

Sometimes you just need to let something roll off you like water off a duck.
