What’s the difference between your “faith” and your “faith tradition”?

  • Faith is what you believe NOW; Faith tradition is how you were raised.
  • Faith is what you actually believe NOW; Faith tradition is the parts of faith you co-opt for reasons, such as putting up a Christmas tree at Christmas, even if you don’t believe in Christianity, or having a seance for Halloween even if you don’t believe in ghosts.
  • Faith and Faith tradition are the same thing: what you currently believe and how you currently behave.
  • Faith is what you believe; Faith tradition is how it is traditionally labeled.

Assuming Mean Mr. Mustard is actually correct and those really are the top 12 fears among Americans, how much does it alarm you that more Americans are afraid of Zombies than, say, Death, War, Hydrofluoric Acid, or a hundred other things you could come up with?

  • Very alarmed. Zombies, seriously? WTF?
  • Somewhat alarmed. People are stupider than I would have thought.
  • Neither alarmed or unalarmed: People be nuts and I know that.
  • Not very alarmed: probably a lot of Trolls answered the poll.
  • Not at all alarmed: Zombies ARE scarier than Death or Hydrofluoric Acid
