How does that make you normal?


True that. You would have to be deluded and believe in Monkey Gods, holy water, and talismans and the like to be normal.


Dammit. I knew I was abnormal.

Excuse me. I got up to question 12 and realized that the questions are ridicuously simplistic to the point of being intellectually offensive and then I clicked out of it.

I notice that it is accepting of "liberal" christian theology, which I've always considered to be atheist.

As in if they view God differently, they are atheists? Would their liberal Christian theology not put them in conflict with those atheists who deny the existence of God?


The more liberal the theology, the more the denial of the divinity and reality of Jesus Christ. So yes, they are a transitional mode on the way to atheism.

Ditto that. I got to question 2 and thought "why is this a 6 minute YouTube video instead of text that I could speed-read in 30 seconds?" and then I clicked out of it. YouTube doesn't always make stupid things seem smarter. It sometimes makes supid things seem even stupider, depending on the narrator.

Scientifically sound? LOL You are way over-thinking this, BCspace.

Question 2, eh? I can only attribute that to your intellectual superiority.

Maybe I got to question 3, I don't recall. The reason is more directly my short attention span for boring things/people, which could also relate to my intellectual superiority, but only indirectly.

It's a very unserious test. Any test that labels the taker as bats*** crazy generally is.

I'm obviously deluded...I mean it's me. I believe in true love and kinda believe in zombies.

Oh the God issue, shelved.
