. . . .i guess some of the questions you could answer are
1. Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
I try to be a good person according to my lights.

a) have you ever told a lie?
Often. I don't think I've ever lied to harm someone or to harm someone's reputation.

b) have you ever stolen anything thats ANYTHING... ever?
I think theft is a lowbrow crime and my reasons for not stealing, pure snobbery, cannot count for making me good. I have stolen some ridiculous things though, when I was a talking Christmas Tree at Gimbel's and was alone in the cafeteria, I stole a superripe banana because I love superripe bananas and I knew the banana would be tossed into the garbage and I didn't want to see it wasted when I would enjoy it--with my pervserse love of superripe bananas.

c) Have you ever taken God's name in vain (used Jesus and God as a swear word)?
I've sworn quite often, I am quite the primadona of swearing, but I thought taking God's name in vain meant swearing falsely in a case of law where one was obliged to take a Christian-type oath in God's name or upon a Bible, that sort of thing, to tell the truth. And, I have never lied under oath.

d) Ever looked at a member of the opposite sex with lust (or even thought of a member of the opposite or same sex with lustful thoughts)?
Quite often, thank heavens. And, I try to avoid seducing other women's husbands.
blinding_light said:
And the question following all that is... are you guilty of breaking ANY of these (just being only four of the ten commandments)? If yes - and i mean be honest here...
Yeah, I've prolly broken all of them, depending upon how you interpret them.

If you died tonight for example (as we do not kno for sure when we will die), and were before God, would He find you guilty or not guilty of breaking His moral law (above)?
God and I would have a very interesting conversation--if there is a God. I would probably put God on trial and grill him.
blinding_light said:
on this basis will you go to heaven or hell?
I'd rather go to hell with my friends than to heaven with Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, folks of that ilk.
