Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
i no where hes going with this and i dont think my survey will support what hes supposing. even tho i was raised religious it never stopped me from being a super freak even at a young age.

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
Done. My answers should raise an eyebrow - but not in a good way.

Nice everyone! 

Atheists have always argued that this world is all that we have, and that our duty is to one another to make the very most and best of it. ~Christopher Hitchens~

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
Done.
One of the first questions got me a little confused. That distinction between atheist, secularist, humanist, as "what kind of non religious person you are", I think it is not appropiate. I believe it is mixing apples and peanuts. You can be humanist, or secularist, being atheist or not... If you are atheist and secularist, and humanist, what do you choose?
Anyway. The rest is concise, very up to the point.

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
Yes. That question is miscast. One can actually be an atheist agnostic or a theist agnostic. I think of myself as an atheist agnostic, but no provision was made for that.

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
Done - added a comment at the end about the geographical scope not being clear from the questions.

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
Done. Having to define any sexual fetishes I had was a bit.. weird.. though, thought provoking. I didn't realise I had so many

Yeah. But isn't it wonderful?

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
I didn't list any fetishes ... not sure I have any, to be honest. Lots of interests and things that I like to do, some of which provide an added spur, but nothing that requires a particular element to achieve satisfaction.

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
This is a pretty badly composed survey in some ways. Is it not supposed to be taken by an international audience? Why all the presumptions about US nationality? 

Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
Took it, but as others have said it's crappily written and constructed and aimed at apparently a very narrow target audience. Oh well.

Re: Sex and Secularism - A Survey
I did the survey, fun little thing.
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman
