What do you believe about God, are you rational and consistent?

Play this game and find out: http://www.philosophersnet.com/games/god.htm

Did you get across the battleground in one piece?

I think the test is just as flawless as I am. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

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!

Yeah, this is S.S type scrutiny aimed to unearth the unweary Jew... could well answer why I said yes or no but wasn't given a chance to,

QUOTE
You've taken a direct hit!

You have claimed that God exists, that she knows about suffering, wants to reduce it and can reduce it. But now you say you don't think that there is any higher purpose which explains why people die horribly of painful diseases. Why then does God allow it? Surely, a God which knows about, wants to stop and can stop suffering would put an end to pointless suffering.


QUOTE
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.


Because to God there is no right and wrong, yet to us on earth there is and has to be otherwise crass debauchery would obsecure our view of the heavens and prevent our evolution (which is spiritual not physical). Diffrent rule of thumb down here (terra) than there is up there.

QUOTE

The serial rapist Peter Sutcliffe had a firm, inner conviction that God wanted him to rape and murder prostitutes. He was, therefore, justified in believing that he was carrying out God's will in undertaking these actions.


No, because his actions fall foul of universal law but beat on me anyway for apparently contradicing myself why don't you .lol. You can't apply logic (Left brained thinking) to such a broad and encompassing subject... main diffrence between western and eastern philosophy left and right brained ideals and ideas. You can't apply logic to the universe, you only get what you get from it, little else.

... since when was God a she anyway .lol.
