1.) Do you believe in God or a higher power? Yes.
2.) Are good and evil just concepts, or real powers in the universe? Neither; they are tendencies within each of us which must be maintained in synergy.
3.) What is your view on forgiveness? God cannot forgive harms done to other unless those others have also forgiven. To forgive harms done to oneself is to liberate oneself from ruminating over those harms. Forgiveness cannot be obtained by proxy.
4.) Do organized religions do more harm than good? Religion is divine light refracted through the flawed glass of prophecy. Where the prophet's tendencies are negative, in those areas the religion does harm, where the prophet's tendencies are positive, there the religion does good.
5.) If you had a day to spend playing God, what would you do? Cause a haze of marijuana smoke to descend over the Middle-East, Ireland, and Congress, perhaps as a more or less permanent condition of those regions.
