An interesting game to test your internal consistency, concerning morality, rationality, metaphysics and, of course, God.

-Link-

I made it to the end, but I suffered two direct hits and bit one bullet. This was the second time I played the game, the first being some time ago... but then I lost the link. I'm going to play again to try to find a 'perfect' route. You might not agree with some of what the quiz identifies as a bitten bullet or even a direct contradiction (I know I did) so just don't take it too seriously.

Play, compare scores and discuss smile.gif

  • You suffered zero direct hits and bit 1 bullet.
  • This compares with the average player of this activity to date who takes 1.39 hits and bites 1.11 bullets.
  • 45.80% of the people who have completed this activity, like you, took very little damage and were awarded the TPM Medal of Distinction.
  • 7.67% of the people who have completed this activity emerged unscathed with the TPM Medal of Honour.

And if anybody cares, this was my bitten bullet:

"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."

It also asked if 1 + 1 = 72

one plus one does not equal 72 it equals 10

Likely because your belief contradicts their logic, and not logic as a whole!

A very fair test indeed! The Spanish Inquisition is less biased than this!

It's actually pretty interesting how it judges you on your consistency. It's not that you contradicted their logic, it's that you probably contradicted your own.

I took a direct hit on that one. Didn't get caught on any others.
