The problem of evil: your input requested


Le Mont Saint Michel, France

Greetings,

As part of my PhD dissertation, I am issuing a short and completely confidential and nameless problem of evil questionnaire through the internet. Anyone who is attending a Christian church, my sample group, that is interested in filling one out please let me know by leaving a comment or contacting me at rnmwales@shaw.ca

I will send a copy to those who are not within my sample group upon request as well. I will shortly be looking to sample local churches.

Here is an explanation of what is basically contained within the questionnaire.

Part 1:

Questions on basic background information, but the questionnaire remains nameless.
Questions on the church attended and religious beliefs in general terms.

Part 2:

Questions on the nature of God.
Questions relating to free will, sovereignty, and soul-making views on the problem of evil.
Questions relating to practical theology from a feminist perspective.

Part 3:

Questions concerning society and the problem of evil.

Thanks for reading.

    Thank you for commenting.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Tsarion

    Michael Tsarion was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and is a researcher of the occult. He is an author and public speaker whose topics include symbolism, sidereal astrology and Atlantis. He is also the producer and presenter of the Origins and Oracles series which explores ancient mysteries and forbidden knowledge. Tsarion often applies his occult "knowledge" to the real world, e.g., his theory that the U.S. Presidency has always been and still remains a tool of the European Royal houses, the Freemasons, the Vatican and a mysterious Egyptian "Black Pope".

    Tsarion is also the co-creator along with Joshua Faulkenberry and Allen Reed of the TimeGnosis Personal Timescopes system.

    Tsarion appeared Friday, July 7, 2006 on the Sci Fi Channel special Quest for Atlantis: Startling New Secrets, hosted by The Today Show's Natalie Morales. On this show, which purports to probe the murky depths surrounding the mysterious history of the mythological continent of Atlantis, Tsarion discusses his own theories as to the origins and whereabouts of this mystical land.

    A biography recently published on his website states "He has been affiliated with the Paul Solomon Foundation of Virginia and Rosicrucian Order, the Naqsbaandi Sufi Order, has taught indigo children at the New Age Academy in Berkeley".

    He has written a book titled "Atlantis, Alien Visitation and Genetic Manipulation" and released a DVD series titled "Origins and Oracles."[

    Thanks,

    I can send you one out via email, but my University requires that I have a sample group and that is people who attend Christian churches. I wish I could sample everyone as that would make my job easier.
