What are college students at UNC saying about God? A video camera stopped a random sample of seven students and asked them what God means to them. Here are their responses:
- "I guess for me, God is more of an abstract sort of thing, rather than a person or a figure. Just like the relationships between people, between nature and people, animals and people."
- "I personally have a lot of questions about whether I think God actually exists. I think that if God does exists it's in a intangible way."
- God to me is a force that connects all of us."
- "To me... God is the questions unanswered by science. That's where I draw on faith."
- "If there was a God, he gave up on us a long time ago. I think it's a life force and energy."
- "I think of Jesus the same way I think of Martin Luther King Jr. or Gahndi, more of a political figure. I think he's a political, historical person."
- "He [Jesus] is an amazing man there is no question about that. But I don't call him 'Christ' and I don't think about him as a god... but that's just my god. I think different people have different gods."
