What Do Philosophers Think – and What Do Philosophers Think Philosophers Think?, Bryan Caplan | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty.
Joel Landon Watts is a Masters of Theological Studies student with a focus in Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific ideals of the past century. Currently, he is a TA for Old Testament at United Theological Seminary under Dr. Vivian Johnson, Associate Professor of Old Testament. His first book, Rhetorical Strategies of the Evangelist: Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark, is expected to be published by Wipf and Stock early next year. He is currently co-editing a book on moving from Fear to Faith (Energion, 2013).

My positions are likely very predictable by even those who know me little:
A Priori : Accept
Free Will: Compatibilism (Augustine/ Edwards)
Meta-ethics moral realism: Accept
MInd: As a Dualist this question has no real bearing to me. I suppose either of the lean to positions. The Spirit survives without the body, but was not designed to. In the Resurrection they will be re-united permanently
Normative ethics: deontology
Politics: I have to go with Agnostic on this one I have leanings to all three listed, none are perfect by any means.
Teletransporter: (new matter) Death unless they find some way to transport the soul at the same time, even then the idea that one can cease existing for a time to re-exists is incompatible with scripture.
I think, unless further study so reveals, that I would tend to agree with just about everything you said.
