Zogby Poll Questions - Religion

[liberal N proud]

I receive emails from Zogby periodically to participate in one of his stupid little polls. Here are some of the questions I just saw on a Zogby poll...


I believe God is angry and will soon begin punishing sinners in ever greater numbers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would prefer to work, live, socialize, and send my children to school with people who share my religious beliefs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe that only someone who believes in my God will be saved
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scriptures of my religion are inerrant (without error)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe that the end of the world is near and the final day of judgment will occur in my lifetime
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am too busy meeting my family's basic needs like food or shelter to worry about most other things
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



My country is never wrong
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would fight for my nation before I would fight for my God
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

American culture is inherently superior to cultures elsewhere in the world
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not interested in travelling abroad because everything I need is here

1. Sounds a little jingoistic and xenophobic as well...

[immoderate]

2. That's what they're polling for...jingos and xenos.

They could be measuring how widespread those attitudes are.

3. that must be the poll that dropped me like a hot potato....

:rofl:

I took it a couple of days ago. Filled out the boiler plate at the beginning of all the Zogby polls ("are you registered to vote," "religious affiliation," etc) then jumped immediately from, like, 7% finished to 91% finished and nothing left but the exit boilerplate questions ("are you a union member" and so on). I figured I'd been selected out by something I'd answered in the first part. Now I'll bet it was my response that I'm an atheist.
