How do you think the universe began?
I believe that the universe started due to the big bang and slowly life forms formed all over the universe since Im not a follower of any religious beliefs for example in christianity they believe that God made the universe which led up to Adam and eve(ps which means a lot of incest happened which I dont want to believe that part). I believe in science I believe that the big bang started it and over centuries science just did its job created stars, planets, etc...
Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever seen a ghost?
I am a strong believer in ghosts due to many stories and my obvious hate for the dark. Especially in any culture there are multiple stories of ghost but in Korea especially we have stories and ghost figures that everyone knows for example in korea the ghost figure 처녀귀신 chuneogishin is very popular and its about a female who died young without being married so she goes around haunting people for her frustration and sorrow that she died without getting married. I never seen a ghost and to be honest I dont ever want to since that lead me to basically shut myself in my room while always having someone next to me to calm me down.
Do you often think about what happens after death?
I believe that there is a life after death and though I dont believe in religious concepts heaven I believe in some of concepts such as that whatever actions while did while alive would definitely have an impact in the after life since there is not action that doesnt have any consequences. I believe that we are judged by whatever actions we have made and treated differently based on the way you have lived your life.
Do you grow up practicing a religion? Do you still follow that religion?
I went to a Christian school during my elementary years so I took a lot of bible study classes, prayers, etc... Weirdly enough I also went to a Catholic preschool so I had a lot of exposure to religion while I was young but due to my family or close friends being atheist or not really involved in religion I slowly got further away from it and being living without religion but I do believe in some of the concepts of religion but not really believer in religion.
Have you ever prayed? If so, talk me through your process of prayer.
As I said before when I was young I had a lot of exposure to religion so I did pray in school before classes or meals but slowly due to not enough exposure as I got older I slowly started praying less and not believing in religion. Now I dont pray at all unless Im in very bad situation for example please God let me get an A in this course.
How do you feel about religions and religious ideology other than your own? Have you ever been interested in other religions?
I do believe in religious concepts but as stated before not a devote follower of religion of any kind but I do believe in concepts of God, heaven, judgement, and afterlife. Though Ive seen a lot and heard a lot about many religious concepts to be honest its just not the way I think and to no disrespect anyone but I just find unbelievable to me.

What was your first experience with death as a child? Is there a religious association with this memory for you?

Thats the first memory of death to me as a child me.
