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!

Analysis of your Direct Hit

 

List of questions

 

Direct Hit 1

 

You answered True to questions 2 and 3, and False to Question 12.

 

These answers generated the following response:

 

You've just taken a direct hit! You claimed earlier that there is no basis for morality if God does not exist. But now you say that if God does exist, she cannot make what is sinful good and vice-versa. But if this is true, it means that God cannot be the basis of morality. If God were the basis of morality, then she could decide what is good and what is bad. The fact that you think that God cannot do this shows that things must be right or wrong independently of what God decides. In other words, God chooses what is right because it is right; things are not right just because God chooses them.

Analysis of your Bitten Bullet

 

List of questions

 

Bitten Bullet 1

 

You answered True to questions 6 and 13.

 

These answers generated the following response:

 

You stated earlier that evolutionary theory is essentially true. However, you have now claimed that it is foolish to believe in God without certain, irrevocable proof that she exists. The problem is that there is no certain proof that evolutionary theory is true - even though there is overwhelming evidence that it is true. So it seems that you require certain, irrevocable proof for God's existence, but accept evolutionary theory without certain proof. So You've got a choice: (a) Bite a bullet and claim that a higher standard of proof is required for belief in God than for belief in evolution. (B) Take a hit, conceding that there is a contradiction in your responses.

 

You chose to bite the bullet.

One hit, one bullet

 

:roll:

 

I f*cking hate Peter Sutcliffe.

Edited by floyd

I got one hit

 

 

As a matter of curiosity

 

 

how many of you do believe in God?

 

I don't

No hits but 2 bullets

The first question it asks is utter bollocks so the test is utter bollocks

 

It does not describe what is meant by God.

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.

 

 

There is some stupid questions in there though.
