i am a horrible person

file under:

blame don for this post.

I took the “Good Person Test” and failed miserably. Apparently this is because I haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior or some shit like that.

I tried this test using several different sets of answers. The first time through, I answered honestly. The quiz told me, and I quote, “you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, murderous, adulterer at heart.” That was when it started to preach at me about how the gospel could save me, blah, blah, blah.

So I went back to see what would happen if I started out admitting I was a bad person. Same thing. Then I went back again, put on my halo, and answered as if I had never done anything wrong in my entire life. The results?

Unfortunately, you don’t see yourself as God sees you. The Bible says all men are sinners, until you’re ready to admit that you can’t continue this test.

So basically, you’re fucked no matter what you do. You can’t win unless you drink their particular type of Kool-Aid. I’m sorry, but morality and religion are NOT the same thing. You can be a very moral person even if you don’t subscribe to any religious beliefs. And don’t even get me started on all of the atrocities that have been committed in the name of religion throughout history.

AND…AND… whoever wrote this piece of tripe obviously has a poor grasp on proper grammar. There should be a comma after the word “that”. Otherwise it reads “…until you’re ready to admit that you can’t continue this test.” Yeah, I’m ready to admit that I can’t continue this test.

I got a tiny bit through the lying part before I couldn’t answer anymore. I guess I was so often subject in my youth to those thought patterns that I saw the condemnation coming. It’s the kind of kool aid that, if you sniff first, you won’t accidentally have to drink any to learn it’s not the good kind.

Based on the standards of that test, we are all joing Cav in hell. See you there.

That sucks. was tempted to go there and try it but I don’t think I can handle the fury this early in the morning.

But you know, may be we should design a “Are you a good secular humanist?” style quiz that won’t allow people’s faith in God or lack thereof to sway the results.

I wish this were on livejournal so I could use my “Jesus called, he wants his religion back” icon.

Even from a *Christian* perspective, there’s no way to answer questions without saying you’re going to hell. Excuse me What about forgiveness???

this is from a hellfire & brimstone school of thought, and like sam said - one sniff and we are out of there.

Extra bonus points though if you noticed the “have you ever been angry” question quoted a verse about anger *without just cause*. It’s idiotic, and yes you can quote me.

Those are exactly the type of “Christians” that are the first to pass judgement on anyone else, and usually the last to admit their own “sin”.

I found the smiley little guy creepy and disturbing.

I’m just wondering if these are the same folks about whom the movie “Jesus Camp” was made? You know, the movie with that one gay, meth addict, Pentacostal preacher?

Speaking of Kool-aid, didn’t Jim Jones end up drinking a bit much of his own Kool-aid down in Gayana?

Maybe what we need to do is brew up a big batch of Jim Jones style Kool-aid, and practice some selective euthanasia for these folks. I view it as a kindness, putting them out of our misery. Or something like that…
