I took one hit and bit two bullets.

QuoteCongratulations!
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!

Great mental exercise first thing in the morning, Blunt! I took no direct hits and only bit one bullet.

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 without being hit and biting only one bullet suggests that your beliefs about God are internally consistent and well thought out.

A direct hit would have occurred had you answered in a way that implied a logical contradiction. The bitten bullet occurred because you responded in a way that required that you held a view that most people would have found strange, incredible or unpalatable. However, because you bit only one bullet and avoided direct hits completely you still qualify for our second highest award. A good achievement!

Where I tripped up was a bit of contradictory answering as regards evolution & God. I seem to believe in evolution, even though there is little 'evidence' to support it. On the other hand, I do NOT believe in God due to the fact that there is no evidence to support it. A minor stumble, methinks!

That's a funny game. I took one direct hit and bit two bullets. My views on god, and what god is, have changed tremendously over the last twenty-five years, however, so I'm not surprised that I'm not entirely consistent.

I took one hit and bit one bullet. (I think) Interesting exercise though.

It was the Loch Ness Monster vs Atheism one that got me the hit.  The atheism question was a bit of a brain twister, I thought.  Poorly worded. :smiley:

The Peter Sutcliffe one did me up!

After all the posts, I had to do it, too. Peer pressure! It's a terrible thing. Here's what I got.


"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!"

Loch Ness got me!
I am an atheist in case anyone was wondering :)

It is a bit too easy though for an atheist, you just have to answer no whenever they ask about God.

You're in the minority there, Sharon - only seven point something percent of people get your score :afro:

Santhere -  :grin:  Just say no.

I'm firmly agnostic - I'd like for there to be a God, but I've got a nasty feeling there isn't.

I'm with you on that one, santhere. Whenever the God questions came up, I had NO trouble answering them!

And Sharon ... geez ... I'm impressed with the strength of your moral fibre!

It shocked the shit outta me!  :D Perhaps being raised by a borderline personality disordered mother with religious delusions makes me this way.  :evil: 

Some of her greatest HITS:

"God said I should beat you." (screamed, with belt in hand)

"I brought you into this life and I can take you out again!" (see above)

"God makes children suffer." (said with a straight face)

"You brought this on yourself. I do this because I [God] love(s) you." (Pre-school, sent to bed 4 nights in a row without dinner)

Hey, it could have been worse, Sharon - just think what it'd've been like if God didn't particularly like you :scratch: :o
