Damn rapist


Thought provoking.....

I took that test before, and got out with no direct-hits and two bitten bullets.

Of course, this is on the second running of the test. The first time I stumbled on the Loch Ness monster question and the question: "People who die of horrible, painful diseases need to die in such a way for some higher purpose."

The Loch Ness monster question was poorly asked. The understanding most people have of the Loch Ness monster is of a large and elusive animal of some description, but the question posed is based on an incredibly loose definition of the Loch Ness monster (which would cover holograms, ghosts, God, angels, demons, cans of fish, paper, etc). This is damn pedantic

But, if you take the Loch Ness monster as being a set of eternally moving goal-posts, you have to agree, or at least I had to agree.

The problem of pain is just one of those things that I could have phrased without a contradiction (I bit the bullet by saying they do have a higher purpose, even though purpose isn't exactly the right word). But hey, they account for this in the rules.

irishman_abroad: Explain your rapist comment or have it removed. You have until tomorrow.

Interestingly, it was about justification for inner convictions that I got burnt. I took the question about the serial rapist to mean did he think himself justified, and that was against my first justification respose. And then after getting that wrong the next justification one I got wrong because it was the same as my first justification response. If you follow me.

I took the bullet on evolution, because I don't think the "there is no certain proof that evolutionary theory is true" is credible.

You have reached the end!

Congratulations! You have made it to the end of this activity.

You took zero direct hits and you bit zero bullets. The average player of this activity to date takes 1.37 hits and bites 1.10 bullets. 97540 people have so far undertaken this activity.

I was awarded a TPM medal of honour, for "outstanding service on the intellectual battleground". I can't wait to tell my mother!

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.
