Answer 9

As a person my life is guided by family situations, work demands and the like.  As a Christian I believe that God is in control.  There are times when it is easier to give God the glory for how things have worked out than others.  I mean don't get me wrong God leads in the bad times and through the worst situations.  He doesn't always choose to silence the storm, sometimes He just gives an inner peace about the storm.  It sure is easier to say God is in control when you are given the money for a need that you just can't otherwise come up with.  However sometimes when all goes sour, I like to think of God as a teddy bear.  Sometimes when life is just hard, I simply pray that God will comfort me like a teddy bear would comfort a scared child.

Answer 10

I do. I take responsibility for my actions. I don't expect someone to "save" me when I s***w up. I don't expect that I get another chance to live my life, nor that I'm going to somehow live forever. That orientation makes it all the more imperative to live a good life, now, today.

As far as individuals who have influenced me, there have been many. Real world actual people, that is. Philosophers. Authors. Artists. Musicians. Economists.

Pertaining to a guiding principle, I answer "The Golden Rule." Just because the Christians copyrighted it, doesn't make it a bad idea.
