Interesting question, and a strange ordering of the list that inspired the
opening poster back in 1995. Ultimately, a numbered list is inadequate to
explain the whats and whys that make a person who they are, but here is my
personal take.
#1. Jesus Christ. I don't want to sound like the Church Lady, but He makes
and gives meaning to all the other items, including me.
#2. Wife and children. Almost all of the concrete things I do for #1 are
expressed here and in the other items.
#3. Church. Includes both church friends and communal prayer and
worship. Practically, on a case-by-case basis, this varies a lot,
from #3 down to below #6.
#4. Other family
#5. Job. As a means of materially supporting the rest. A list of
"sources of self-satisfaction" would be the same except for this
item dropping to the bottom.
#6. Friends
#7. Hobbies. PROGRAMMING!
#8. Cyber-friends. Sorry guys, you're wonderful people, but just a
stream of text makes a weak connection. Cyber-fiends I have met in
real life, or with whom I've had a lot of on-line history get
promoted to #6.
A lot of conflict and exceptions in gray areas where priorities conflict
between adjacent categories.

resp:13 bubu's survey (and his whole directory) are long gone. A survey
generator would be fun if there were a few more of us using Fronttalk.
resp:41 I note that all the above categories represent positive
motivations, things I want to do and enjoy spending time on, with the
exception of work. There are also other categories that have neutral or
negative motivation that still require time and effort, such as
complying with laws, support for state/nation/country, or helping
strangers. Some of these may derive from the positive enumerated
priorities above.

Your list is, I believe, spot on both in content and in order. Even if you
were to take out #1 and #3 for the non-religious (or replace them with some
other religious form), this list would be an exceptional guide to living a
joy-filled life.
