Are You A Fundie Test

Post by General Mung Beans »

For laughs, as this is really a strawman fundie.

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-fundam ... stian-test

Modern Christian

You scored 44 Fundiness points!
You're a Modern Christian! But you probably already knew that.

You probably consider the Bible to be more of a set of parables than real, literal history. You've watched Discovery Channel documentaries about Jesus having children without flying into a rage. You attend church regularly, consider your relationship with God to be fairly healthy, and you believe loving Jesus to be the best way to go about life, and to get into heaven.

There's still downsides, however. Some Anti-Fundies will attack you just as remorselesly as they do your Fundie cousins, while some Fundies may attack you because you don't take the Bible as complete fact. You also, very likely, cherry-pick your beliefs; you may believe homosexuality to be a sin, but you don't support stoning people who work on Sundays.

All in all, though, you're a healthy, normal individual. A little objective reading of the Old Testament, however, might be something of an eye-opener.

Hey, fuckhead - you DO realize that that site pressures people to sign up for a dating service? Way to go, asshat. You think I don't get enough spam or something?

Being a good citizen is warning people about sites that want you to sign up.

At least you CAN wind through this without having to actually sign up, so... here's my result:
Anti-Fundie

You scored 16 Fundiness points!
You are an Anti-Fundie! This probably means that you're a logical, analytical person, and probably a big fan of Occam's Razor. You're very likely an athiest, or at least an agnostic leaning that way. It's also likely that you were raised with a Christian upbringing, and eventually saw how nonsensical the whole thing was.

On the downside, though, you may come off as a bit dispassionate or cold. Logic is a fine and upstanding virtue, but sometimes it's nice to humor the less intelligent. Makes it a lot easier to get a date, y'see.

Don't take it as an insult, though, my rational friend! You may occasionally look down your nose at a willfully ignorant Fundie, but at least you're not trying to beat 'em over the head with an ancient book of fairy tales.
Although in my case - no, not raised with a Christian upbringing. At all.

Your result for The Fundamentalist Christian Test ...
Sane

You scored 22 Fundiness points!
You're Sane! I bet that's a relief!

You're most likely an intelligent, people-focused person, and probably an agnostic or lapsed Christian. You tend to avoid the more outspoken Christians of the world, and probably consider them a bit nuts, but on the whole you respect their dedication and try to treat them as fellow human beings.

On the downside, Anti-Fundies might consider you a bit wishy-washy, and Fundies will happily lump you in with anyone who disagrees with them. Your respect for others' beliefs will serve you well, however, so don't worry too much. You're the sane one, after all.
Sane? ME?! Sane enough to know I'm insane, perhaps, but not really sane.

I got 21 (sane) and I didn't choose any of the religious options, although I had to choose the "I don't know" option for the Jesus question, since the supposed "atheist" answer was nonsensical. Only people with no knowledge of biblical or ancient history would claim that by all historical and archaeological Jesus as a person was non-existent... There were other questions like that as well, for example the hypothetical question about a gay son and the Evangelicals. I don't like to threaten people with police unless it's absolutely necessary, so I chose the more polite "Thank you, but no than you option."

Well, if a bunch of people came over to my home and started calling my son an evil sinner, I'd give them exactly one warning before calling the cops, so I had no trouble chosing that option :)

And I got 16 despite being all RAH RAH atheist, so I don't think it's as simple as non-religious answers = not a fundie.

And that's not absolutely necessary? They'd be calling your son an evil monster, should that happen to me I'd be happy that Italian police is quite CS gas happy when it comes at riot control...

Some of those questions make it pretty clear it was written by someone religious or at the very least not very smart. Then again OKCupid tests are generally retarded. I can't say I'm shocked at the 16 points result but I am shocked that this worthless abortion of a thread hasn't been punted to testing.

Does the exact reason really matter? If they're trespassing and being a general nuisance, it's time to call the cops.

Well, it's only true if they're also refusing to leave, unless they're obviously threatening.

That doesn't mean you're obliged to give them more than one warning, though.

That's what no trespassing/solicitation/etc. signs are for.

The queston about the existance of Jesus threw me, I've been operating under the understanding a historical Jesus existed but he was nothing special, just a man who formed a cult. The "he didn't exist" response was the most appropriate, but was inaccurate.

I got 17, Anti-Fundie.

Yeah, the Jesus question was broken. It's either "he was a good guy but not the messiah" or "didn't exist", which was neither, really: he wasn't a particularly nice guy even according to the Bible, but there is some evidence somebody who kinda sorta matches the biblical persona did exist.

19, Anti Fundie. The abortion questions seemed a tad bit odd, like you could either say no to the abortion, be wishy washy on it, or say yes to it. You couldn't have it be her choice without making it seem like you forced her to abort.

I scored 18, probably because even though I don't beliee in god i'm against abortion except in cases of rape/incest/threatening life of mother.

I personally believe that life is a very wonderful thing, and ever since I became an atheist and stopped believing in an afterlife I treat life as even more precious than I did before. At the risk of sounding like Dr. Manhattan, I do honestly believe that the fact that each individual born is precious. Not in a divine way by any sense, but because of the odds a living being has to face in order to become that indivudal. If my parents concieved on a different day I would not exist, it would be another individual who would end up looking a lot like me and share many of my genetic traits, but it would not be me and there is no guarantee that potential person would even look like me.

I think that those potential lives are special and I would personally hope that a woman having a child that wasn't the product of rape/incest and wasn't threatening her own well being would give said life a chance. In those cases mentioned, I think abortion is morally justified.

That being said that is my own personal belief that I would never impose on others, and I also believe the decision is the woman's to make. While I dislike abortion I do believe it is the woman's right to choose and I would not judge any woman who ever felt the need to have one performed. My own personal beliefs do not supercede the rights of others and I respect that profoundly.
