Richard's Simple Theo-Survey
Who were/are the top 3 Christian thinkers (apart from Jesus or the apostles)?	not sure

What is the proper relationship between theology and philosophy?	I consider philosophy to be a personal thing (not to be decreed to the public), in which case they are one and the same.
What is the proper relationship between theology and science?	in paraphrase of... someone... from the book Contact by Carl Sagan: When religion and science are in disagreement, someone hasn't been doing their job right.
What is the proper relationship between philosophy and science?	not sure...
God: One Substance and Three Persons or Three Hypostatic beings?	what does hypostatic mean?... i'd say the first

I'm a student conducting a survey. PLEASE help me out!!!

[(Anonymous)]

I am conducting an online study on blogging – why people do it, what they get out of it, and how it affects their lives. I am taking part in the Intel Science competition for high school students and this research will form the basis of my application (so please help me out).

If you are interested in taking part in this study, sharing your online experiences or finding out more information about the study, please go to http://www.psych-studies.com/blog1.php

Pre-testing indicates that the questionnaire generally takes between 10-15 minutes to complete. Upon submission of your responses, you will be provided with the results of the study thus far. In other words, you will be able to see how the average person has responded to each of the questions. Individual responses are fully confidential and your participation is anonymous.

I thank you for your time and patience and hope that you will be willing to further our knowledge about the ways in which electronic communication affects our everyday lives.

Take part in the study: http://www.psych-studies.com/blog1.php

Thanks again!

I think the problem with this survey on a general level is that it assumes you already know or believe some basics about Christianity, which I sort of do not. Lol, I guess it's not really written for people like me then, too bad :)

I would have to agree with the above comment. I know a bit about some Catholic dogma and doctrine and I know that some of the responses definitely do not coincide with the Church. But that's just Catholicism. I'm not entirely sure on the other denominations or any Unitarian (one God, no Trinity) churches.
