There are many OP in RF these days that speak about God in one way or an other.
1.Do you understand God?
2.Do you have good understanding of the teaching given to you? ( according to what religion you believe in and follow)
3.Is there any good reason to try explaining what God is to someone who either do not believe (in same God) or to those who are negative toward anything related to religion and belief?
I think you might approach it with the wrong questions.. or at least i think you would get more out of it, if you asked different ones.
Ultimately its about getting closer to the truth, so if a person is 100% convinced that they know God and that all their teachings are spot on correctly understood. That person have no reason for questioning their beliefs, which is potentially a very dangerous state of mind, because such person is convinced that they already know the truth and is therefore less likely to listen to arguments which might challenge their views.
Basically this is what you are asking people about in question (1) and (2) as I see it, how convinced are people?
Question (3) is the one I find the most interesting, because if people answer
"No, it is not worth it." they have pretty much given up all scepticism and critical thinking and will purely feed their already established beliefs with biased information, that constantly confirm what they already believe. Which will push them further and further towards being completely convinced, because obviously all the information they are given or learn, confirms their current beliefs.
Furthermore, if we are talking truth as being the ultimately goal, it should be able to handle any negativity or ridiculous coming its way. Because you can't reason or manipulate with the truth no matter how hard you try. Obviously we can fool ourselves into believing something might be true, but then again that wouldn't be true.
So I think the questions would make more sense, if asked in relation to truth:
1) How important is truth to you?
2) Do you think that some teachings can be right while others wrong? If so, how do you evaluate which is which?
3) Do your religious teachings reflect your view of God? and if not. How well do you know God? or why do you think that God allowed such things to be written in his name?
If people answer "Not, very important" to question (1), then there is basically no foundation for reason. Anything could potentially fly in such person's mind.
Question (2) and (3) is to actually test whether or not people are truly interested in getting closer to the truth. Because there is no other way to evaluate things unless one is willing to explore and seek explanations and knowing how to evaluate claims against each other using some sort of neutral method.
So if a person, say that they are seeking truth, but have no neutral method for doing so, and only look at one source (religious teachings or explanations). Then they are not neutral in their investigation and therefore, not truly seeking truth.
