uhhh umm …. by having faith in them? O_o

He’s making a list and checking it twice.

I’m always floored when told someone might not be telling the truth. It feels like a necessity to me, and for the world to even function. I totally empathize with the last panel and the darkness that comment brings. You’re not alone, Amanda.

You need an intake form to attend a church??

Methinks that just by the nature of it there’s more important aspects of the faith journey than data.

Don’t take it so hard, Amanda. You can only design the form the best way you know how. You have no control over someone’s honesty in filling it out. As @seanfear said, have faith that most people will be honest.

Yes, the always disconcerting realization that information is not always factual. Father will know this, (Our Father already does). And many reasons for that. Fear, embarrassment, self-importance, manipulation. So many reasons.

I guess you just have to have faith. :)

Background check by Opus Dei.

Existential dissociation. Been there. How long were you stuck in it?

He’s probably a smart guy, and after he talks to them a little, he will compare what they put down, and will know exactly where they are at.

I’d hope that he isn’t expecting this to be anything more than a starting point…

If they are honest questions and if the responders are anonymous, then the answers have a good chance to be honest.

Don’t have to fill out forms to be atheist.
