<ol>
<li><p>Do you have an unalterable destiny?
Nope.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you have convicted Socrates?
Absolutely not.</p></li>
<li><p>Is there an ultimate Truth?
No. I don’t think there’s any one ultimate Truth.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
Working towards a great cause, definitely. That tends to be where one finds real meaning, which I think is more important than simply being happy.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?
…Yush.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live by the Golden Rule?
Rules should always be bended when necessary, so no.</p></li>
<li><p>Was Jesus insane?
Nah.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather have the trait of virtue or reason?
Reason.</p></li>
<li><p>Is there a hell?
I don’t know.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live in a world where everyone is always good?
Definitely not.</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>no</li>
<li>no</li>
<li>no</li>
<li>for me, the two are synonymous</li>
<li>probably</li>
<li>yes</li>
<li>no</li>
<li>can I pick both?</li>
<li>no</li>
<li>no</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Do you have an unalterable destiny? No.</li>
<li>Would you have convicted Socrates? Eventually after I got tired of being asked questions, that inquisitive mother****er.</li>
<li>Is there an ultimate Truth? Definitely not.</li>
<li>Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause? It depends how great the cause is. If I’m curing cancer, then I’ll eventually be happy, if it’s finding a way of increasing Cow’s life expectancy, don’t care.</li>
<li>Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden? If this apple doesn’t make me itch, yes.</li>
<li>Would you want to live by the Golden Rule? ^As said before, Rules are always meant to be violated/bent, so no.</li>
<li>Was Jesus insane? Well he made his own religion and now has created many monsters, so sure.</li>
<li>Would you rather have the trait of virtue or reason? Reason, I love being right and knowing why everything is where it is.</li>
<li>Is there a hell? Figuratively, yes, there are tons. A scorching abyss that punishes you after death? I have my doubts.</li>
<li>Would you want to live in a world where everyone is always good? Definitely not.</li>
</ol>

<p>-No, I don’t think so.
-No
-Yes, but I don’t think that we can definitively prove it utilizing our current resources and information.
-I think that by attributing effort towards that cause, I would be content.
-No
-Yes
-No
-I would find both to be appeasing.
-I think so, though there is no way to definitively prove that.
-It depends on what defines “good.” Good to one individual could be perceived in an unpreferable manner to another.</p>

</ol>

<ol>
<li>Yes. Everything is set in time.</li>
<li>No</li>
<li>Yes. The ultimate truth is that things exist, or existence itself.</li>
<li>Great Cause</li>
<li>No answer, because it never existed.</li>
<li>No</li>
<li>Yes</li>
<li>Reason</li>
<li>No</li>

</ol>

<ol>
<li><p>Do you have an unalterable destiny?
No. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you have convicted Socrates?
Nope.</p></li>
<li><p>Is there an ultimate Truth?
I don’t think so.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
If I could only have one, I would honestly choose being happy. But I wouldn’t be happy unless I was working towards something greater, so I guess I’m taking the easy way out. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?
No.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live by the Golden Rule?
I think that would be awesome. </p></li>

Yes. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather have the trait of virtue or reason?
Reason without doubt. </p></li>
<li><p>Is there a hell?
No. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live in a world where everyone is always good?
I can’t even imagine what that would be like.</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>No</li>
<li>Definitely no</li>
<li>For me yes, but it is different for everyone</li>
<li>Working towards a great cause</li>
<li>I’m not sure</li>
<li>as in ‘treat others as you would like to be treated’? Yeah.</li>
<li>No, but plenty of people from his religion are</li>
<li>If you have virtue, you have reason. If you have reason, you don’t necessarily have virtue, so virtue I guess.</li>
<li>I hope not</li>
<li>No, but I want to live in a world where everyone is imperfect but works on trying to be good</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Honestly, I’m not sure anymore. Existentialistic physics makes you question things lol…</li>
<li>No, although I’d have no way of knowing how the pressures of that society would’ve affected me.</li>
<li>You mean like life purpose? I don’t really think so. </li>
<li>Being happy, although I don’t see why they’re portrayed as being mutually exclusive.</li>
<li>Lol, probably eventually, yeah… </li>
<li>Yes.</li>
<li>I don’t think so.</li>
<li>Through reason comes virtue.</li>
<li>I sincerely doubt it.</li>
<li>Haha… no.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li><p>Do you have an unalterable destiny?
Some days, I think I do. Other days, I doubt it.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you have convicted Socrates?
No.</p></li>
<li><p>Is there an ultimate Truth?
No. We choose what to believe.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
Working towards a great cause, because that will eventually lead to happiness.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?
Only if I was extremely hungry and unable to find other food.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live by the Golden Rule?
Sure.</p></li>

</ol>

<ol>
<li><p>Do you have an unalterable destiny?
Yes, I believe so. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you have convicted Socrates?

<li><p>Is there an ultimate Truth?
What is the truth? </p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
Working towards a great cause. Greed is not happiness, happiness is best when its shared. </p></li>

Yes. I guess since I’m naturally curious at everything. </p></li>

Of reason</p></li>

I don’t think so. </p></li>

</ol>

<p>1. Do you have an unalterable destiny?
I sort of like existentialism, our actions directly effecting our future…yeah.</p>

<p>2. Would you have convicted Socrates?
Mmmm…nah. Definitely would have to Plato though, if given the chance.</p>

<p>3. Is there an ultimate Truth?
Snitches get stitches? and math, oh and jackson pollocks “art” is in fact bird crap, this isn’t open to subjectivity at all.</p>

<p>4. Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
the latter would make me happy, seems like the best deal</p>

<p>5. Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?
oh hell yeah</p>

<p>6. Would you want to live by the Golden Rule?
No, I live by fight club rules</p>

<p>7. Was Jesus insane?
Hmmm, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being John Stewart, 10 being Joseph Smith of the Latter Day Saints), I’d give him a 6.4</p>

<p>8. Would you rather have the trait of virtue or reason?
I imagine you’d need reason for virtue. I’ll go with virtue, get both again like in #4</p>

<p>9. Is there a hell?
I really hope not.</p>

<p>10. Would you want to live in a world where everyone is always good?
I’m gonna say yes. Just so people stop complaining about how everyone is evil.</p>

<ol>
<li>Do you have an unalterable destiny?
Yes. I hate god for that</li>
<li>Would you have convicted Socrates?

</ol>

<ol>
<li>Do you have an unalterable destiny?
Nope.</li>
<li>Would you have convicted Socrates?
Nope.</li>
<li>Is there an ultimate Truth?
Yes, but will it ever be found: almost 99% not.</li>
<li>Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
In my head, happiness, but I know if I don’t my “heart” will never feel as if I lived out my life enough.</li>
<li>Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?
Yes.</li>
<li>Would you want to live by the Golden Rule?

<li>Would you rather have the trait of virtue or reason?
Reason. Reason can lead to virtue.</li>

No, I don’t believe in hell. And if, supposing there is a “God” that deals with us, “God” is all merciful and honorable, then there should be no hell…might be a naive thought, but oh well for now.</li>
<li>Would you want to live in a world where everyone is always good?
No b/c I want my change.</li>

<p>1. Do you have an unalterable destiny?
If I do, then I’ve been destined to write “no”. (i.e. there is no difference between unalterable destiny and a history not governed by destiny)</p>

<p>2. Would you have convicted Socrates?
No.</p>

<p>3. Is there an ultimate Truth?
Statements can be true or false, so yes.</p>

<p>4. Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
I’m happiest when working towards a great cause.</p>

<p>5. Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?
I’d have been perfectly safe eating an apple because the tree of knowledge of good and evil wasn’t an apple tree. =P Honestly, though, I can’t say what I would have done.</p>

<p>6. Would you want to live by the Golden Rule?
I’d be happiest with myself to live by the Golden Rule, although in reality I’m not happy with myself because I’m too selfish.</p>

<p>7. Was Jesus insane?
Calling him insane would require a specific type of evidence (of which there is none).</p>

<p>8. Would you rather have the trait of virtue or reason?
Virtue is just a type of applied reasoning.</p>

<p>9. Is there a hell?
If the God of the Bible is sovereign and holy, then eternity would be pretty miserable without his presence.</p>

<p>10. Would you want to live in a world where everyone is always good?
When everything is known, there is nothing else to learn.</p>

<ol>
<li>Do you have an unalterable destiny?
No. </li>
<li><p>Would you have convicted Socrates?
No, but I can understand why he was tried. </p></li>
<li><p>Is there an ultimate Truth?
The sky is blue?</p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
Can’t you be happy working towards a great cause?</p></li>
<li><p>Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?
Of course. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live by the Golden Rule
I try to, but sometimes some people are *******s.</p></li>
<li><p>Was Jesus insane?
I don’t think we truly know anything about Jesus other than he existed. The bible doesn’t really account truth. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather have the trait of virtue or reason?
Reason</p></li>
<li><p>Is there a hell?
No.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live in a world where everyone is always good?
Good is relative.</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li><p>Do you have an unalterable destiny?
I wouldn’t say so, but if I had decoded my genetics, this answer would have been different psychologically.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you have convicted Socrates?
I don’t know, would I? (A lame poke at the Socratic method)</p></li>
<li><p>Is there an ultimate Truth?
No. Life wouldn’t be fun that way. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather spend your life being happy or working towards a great cause?
Can’t I do both?</p></li>
<li><p>Would you have eaten the apple in the Garden of Eden?
Nah.</p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live by the Golden Rule?
Yes, I do.</p></li>
<li><p>Was Jesus insane?
I wouldn’t say that. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you rather have the trait of virtue or reason?
Virtue. People don’t understand another’s reason because there’s always a different way of looking at things. </p></li>
<li><p>Is there a hell?
Consciously. </p></li>
<li><p>Would you want to live in a world where everyone is always good?
No, not really. but define “good”</p></li>
</ol>
