Nobody is here to do your homework for you. Give me a bloody good reason not to ban you right now?
What educational establishment do you attend?
What course is this work for?
What is the assignment?
Either this assignment was given by a sucky teaher or a deeply religious one. OR you have thought up those questions yourself... They reek of bias, which in something like that can and should be avoided, which can be accomplished with ease.
Needless to say, that is not at all how I would approach asking a bunch of people about their worldviews.
Now, for future troll... Err... I mean, for future inquiries, try harder with your wording.

May not be a troll, just a lazy student at a Christian college, I've seen that quite often.

Just 'fess up girl and tell us what is going on please.
1.what do you think about the idea of time and space? And how is it related to our life on earth?
Everything is fundamentally made of treacle, though our earthly eyes may not sense this.
2.where do you receive your morals from?
There's a little shop down the street which does very good ones cheap.
3.what do you think happens after death?
Little fairies come and eat your liver, although once again this can only be known through credulity.
4.how do your beliefs shape your worldview?
Basically ortho-polygonal but with little bumps on the starboard side.
5.how does your worldview play out in your everyday life?
Yes, indeed.

Happens. However, I would say the way our aid was requested was highly trollish.

I had some co-workers taking courses at the University of Phoenix, and there was an instructor there giving assignments to "interview atheists" about their religious beliefs. Made me think twice about signing up for their online classes.

This is exactly the problem I have seen in the past. In one classic case a Southern Baptist Semanary set an assignment where the students had to sign up to a number of atheist related sites and make a number of posts proving atheism to be wrong! What a joy that was!

You arent going to teach of the screeves? LOL
Dang, I forgot the Holy Screeves of our Lady St. Postula. >:(
So far she's been on once for 10 minutes.
I take it you refer to Wv93 and not Our Lady St. Postula. ;D

She's giving us time to compose our lengthy answers.
A propos of which, I strongly disagree with Old Git on this one:
Quote1.what do you think about the idea of time and space? And how is it related to our life on earth?

I think it is a nice idea, shame it isn't true. And it is our second cousin.

1. I like the idea of time and space. Life on earth would be pretty boring without them
2. Critical thought, survival instincts, experiences, learned behaviour, enforced law, societies norms
3. decomposition
4. My worldview is about lack of beliefs, so Not Applicable
5. Irrelevant, there is no ideology, no rituals required for being an Atheist. In comparison to theists I have no inhibitors to being supportive, non judgemental, tolerant, humanistic and compassionate of others.

Since she didn't bother to respond I'm going to lock the thread, she can PM me to have it unlocked.
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if I seemed ambiguous with my earlier thread. It was not my intention to offend anyone. I'm taking a philosophy class. I am a Christian and my project is investigating different world views. I'm not here to "convert" anyone or say that what you believe is wrong. I'm solely here for information. Also, to the person who said that my questions were heavily biased, I'd be interested in finding out why you think that.
Once again I apologize if I insulted anyone, that is not at all my intention. Thanks again guys. I won't ask further questions.
Thanks.

Welcome aboard.
We would normally require a new member to post ten times before starting a 'serious thread'. However in your case this rule has been waived.

The reason I gave a hard time was because there are some people who get their jollies pissing other people off. Sometime the troll is an atheist who knows full well what will piss off other atheists, sometime it's a theist just here for 'shits and giggles'.
For your generation the internet will be an integral part of your life in a way it has not been for people of my age (born 1959) you need t be careful how you approach people online as you have now found out :)
Chris
Thank you Chris for clarifying everything. I was not aware of how I would affect people and I never wanted anyone to get offend. Thank you for helping :) I will be more careful as to how I approach people.

That would be The Asmo :P
Here are the wrongs of the questions:
Quote1.what do you think about the idea of time and space? And how is it related to our life on earth?
Presenting time and space as ideas, rather than dimensions of the universe we inhabit.
Quote2.where do you receive your morals from?
Assuming our morals are solely recieved, possibly from an external source rather than achieved through personal processes
Quote3.what do you think happens after death?
Sort of explains itself in terms of bias. A proper question would be: "Do you consider death to be the end of your existence? If not, explain"
(In case it is unclear despite what I think, the bias here lies in assuming that something beyond rotting or being cremated DOES happen
after death, not just as you die)
Quote4.how do your beliefs shape your worldview?
Assuming beliefs are what shapes the individual's worldview. It is more complicated than that. For instance, interactions and experiences take part. Certain beliefs can be a direct part of someone's worldview, of course, but the question is worded the way many looking at life through the eyes of faith would word it.
Quote5.how does your worldview play out in your everyday life?
Nothing wrong with that, really, although I would establish whether or not we consider worldviews to do so before asking how.

I'll have a quick pop at this.
1. Totally relative, time is a human construct that is only applicable to our planet in the form that we view it. Its relevant to our life because it helps us measure increments through days and nights, helping us to manage our lives. When it comes to space time our view of the present is a view of the past, even our perception of the sun is viewing the past as all light we see (from the sun) has taken 8.32 light-minuets to travel to earth, what we perceive of the suns position is actually where the sun was 8.32 minuets ago.
2. A mixture of life experiences, passed down from elders through conversation, and my own perspectives of what is moral.
3. Nothing
4 & 5. I just allow life to happen, I don't fight things or meddle just experience things as they come my way. I don't care what others think just selfishly enjoying my own life.
I'll give it a go...

1.what do you think about the idea of time and space? And how is it related to our life on earth?
They're linked to existence, and even in a hypothetical solipsist world, thoughts can be divided into some sort of unit of time? Don't know exactly how space would factor into that though. On some days, seeing signs of aging just doesn't cut it.
(I'm not really a serious solipsist, I just wonder about these things a lot)
Quote2.where do you receive your morals from?
Partly innate, partly learned. Not as relative as some think, I just like to throw the question back at people I see as immoral and not deserving of respect. Ok, maybe deserving of certain things too. ;)
Not some god-given set of unchanging and objective rules.
Quote3.what do you think happens after death?
Nothing. Literally nothing.
Quote4.how do your beliefs shape your worldview?
They are a framework from which I filter incoming information so that I can navigate through the world and existence.
Quote5.how does your worldview play out in your everyday life?
It's a part of who I am and affect many decisions I make.

The concept of time and space is interesting to me. In my life it helps me understand what is happening and what order it happens in and allows me to predict many things.
Quote from: Worldview932.where do you receive your morals from?
Same place as everyone else, from myself and others.
Quote from: Worldview933.what do you think happens after death?
The body decays.
Quote from: Worldview934.how do your beliefs shape your worldview?
I don't believe in anything. If I do not have the knowledge of a thing, I do not accept or deny that thing because I do not see any purpose in doing so.
Quote from: Worldview935.how does your worldview play out in your everyday life?
I don't see the use of a worldview.
