Check this out:

There's a few bits that I think need to be a little more clear, but it's a cool quiz.

I enjoyed it... though I think it has some logic errors in it... for instance, when I said there was no reason to believe in the Loch Ness, it then said I contradicted myself when I said atheism is a matter of faith because there is no evidence of a God. Well, it never gave the option of "I don't know" if the Loch Ness monsters exists or not.
I hope that came out to an understandable level...

That was a fun test. I took one direct hit and bit one bullet, or was bit? Anyways, made sense how we can want to use certain types of logic justify what we want to believe in, but will use the same logic to deny someone else's beliefs.

Battleground Analysis
Congratulations!
You have been awarded the TPM medal of distinction! This is our second highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.
The fact that you progressed through this activity being hit only once and biting very few bullets suggests that your beliefs about God are well thought out and almost entirely internally consistent.
The direct hit you suffered occurred because one set of your answers implied a logical contradiction. The bitten bullets occurred because you responded in ways that required that you held views that most people would have found strange, incredible or unpalatable. At the bottom of this page, we have reproduced the analyses of your direct hit and bitten bullets.
Because you only suffered one direct hit and bit very few bullets, you qualify for our second highest award. A good achievement!

Yeah, there were a few little flaws like that.

Congratulations!
You have been awarded the TPM medal of honour! This is our highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.
The fact that you progressed through this activity neither being hit nor biting a bullet suggests that your beliefs about God are internally consistent and very well thought out.
A direct hit would have occurred had you answered in a way that implied a logical contradiction. You would have bitten bullets had you responded in ways that required that you held views that most people would have found strange, incredible or unpalatable. However, you avoided both these fates - and in doing so qualify for our highest award. A fine achievement!

neato little quiz right there
--------------------
Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

same here, although i was thinking that believing in some sort of spiritual being deserves more credit than believing in a monster. i can see how a person could take comfort in a belief in (a) god(s), however, i just dont see any point in chasing something like the loch ness monster. damn rain

Just because it's more beneficial emotionally doesn't make it more logical.

It's a bullshit experiment where the creator of the game controls all parameters. One cannot answer with conditions, while the game maker creates all the conditions. I don't believe in one God, but in many Gods. This belief makes this game unsuitable for my entire cosmoconception. Just as Buddhists cannot be conscripted into war (in the US), so also I cannot be conscripted to play a game which is obviously culturally biased towards the Judeochristian hegemony of the US.
In short - more bullshit Judeochristian proselytizing.

Well, there are some relatively small flaws... obviously you didn't go any further than the first few questions.

Quote:
You've just bitten a bullet!
In saying that God has the freedom and power to do that which is logically impossible (like creating square circles), you are saying that any discussion of God and ultimate reality cannot be constrained by basic principles of rationality. This would seem to make rational discourse about God impossible. If rational discourse about God is impossible, there is nothing rational we can say about God and nothing rational we can say to support our belief or disbelief in God. To reject rational constraints on religious discourse in this fashion requires accepting that religious convictions, including your religious convictions, are beyond any debate or rational discussion. This is to bite a bullet.
Now why the fuck did i bite this bullet. This is the only question this thing said i got wrong. Where did i contradict myself though.
I dont believe in god, but i would define a "god" as having infinite power to change anything such as perception by a human which would make 1+1 = 72
Quote:

Of course a god wouldnt be restrained by rational principles beacuse he is fucking god.
Quote:

Isnt this a given, who extacly is trying to rationalize god. Is it a crime to just say "i think" and go with flow.
I didnt really like the quiz.

That was interesting. A couple problems I had with it were the Loch Ness thing for one: Theres a difference between believing in something that's supposed to be a physical animal living on this planet and believing in a Divine Entity which is, according to most people, not physical. It's not fair to call that a logical inconsitancy. (Yeah, I got called on that.)
Another thing is that some of the questions are rather vague so you have to give the best answer they give you the option of, not the answer you may really believe. For example I got called on saying that it wasn't wrong to believe in something due to a deep personal conviction but then I also said the rapist wasn't justified based on his personal convictions. The thing is, the question would have to have been mor extensive for me to be able to answer it properly. I think its ok to believe something based on inner convictions and no external proof so long as such convictions don't cause you to hurt anyone or anything else, and rather do what you can to help it. I really don't care how people come to what they believe as long as it isn't the cause of suffering or violence. I don't think my beliefs are logically inconsistant, just more detailed than the quiz was.
