a. How do you describe your religious background and church involvement if any? I attended church every Sunday from the ages of 3-8. I was raised Catholic.
b. To you, what is God like? Describe God. If they do not believe in God, don't ask
the next several questions, but ask . . . To you, what is important in life?
Happiness, creating a good foundation for the family I'll have, learning

g. From your perspective, what are some of the major problems you see with
churches and youth ministries?
They speak for god and don't leave much up to interpretation. They use groupthink psychology a lot, too. I once attended a youth group meeting where, when they found out I was waning in my belief for god, refused to give me a lollypop (everyone else got one Sad

)

a. How do you describe your religious background and church involvement if any?
I was raised christian, and attended church every sunday until age 8, when my family didn't have time anymore. They started going again when I was 11, and I didn't go. I still believed in god, but hated the idea of church, for many reasons. Different topic though.
b. To you, what is God like? Describe God. If they do not believe in God, don't ask
the next several questions, but ask . . . To you, what is important in life?
To me, god is a figment of humanity's imagination. : ). But really, I think god is a merciless, idiotic, hypocritical, arrogant bag of douche.

No offense, lord.
c. What do you think is important and not important to God?
Meh, i'm answereing anyway.
Important- worshipping him, kissing his ass, saying how awesome he is.
Not important- what people feel or think. He doesn't care about their opinions.
d. What do you think it takes to be straightened out with God?
Doing what's important to him, not caring about anyone but god.
e. Describe what the term/name Jesus Christ means to you?
An imaginary man who also contradicted himself, and his "followers" twist his words to make them ALL good.
f. If you were to attend a church or youth group, what would be important to you?
Making sure I asked enough questions to force everyone to actually think for once.
From your perspective, what are some of the major problems you see with
churches and youth ministries?
Well, seeing as i'm forced to go to church almost every day now at boarding school, I hate the zombie-ness of it all. That's really what made me first question it. And basically, what everyone else has said so far. : )
