i tried...but it is a pretty boring quiz.

It's a quiz that makes you think about your perceptions. It was kind of cool.

Three direct hits, with zero bullets bitten. I got the TMP service medal.

One hit, two bitten ... Distinction.

why is god a requisite to life?

One hit, no bullets.

Kind of cool quiz--too many people are not consistent in their beliefs, this quiz will catch you if you are not.

One hit, no bites. Yay Me.

I took no hits and bit three bullets, but I contested one of them and I'm waiting for a response. It was about whether or not God can be rationally discussed if He can do irrational things. Interesting time killer. Thanks for the heads up.

And I don't see why I would get the third highest award taking no hits and biting three bullets, when someone who took hits and bit bullets would get the second highest award.

No hits, no bullets. But I am a philosophy student, so I eat and breathe this stuff. And it's easy to be an agnostic and have internally consistent beliefs.

1 hit no bullets, a curious little exercise. Wish more people tried to think consistently.

Congratulations!

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!
I'm consistent in my beliefs!!!!!!

Hmm. Interesting. I just based a lot of it on the concept of free will.

no hits. three bullets.

i never claimed to be rational - just consistant.

I did great until the last 5 questions. I guess thats where they start countering your answers. 4 hits one bullet. I am dead.

I played this a while ago. I don't get the biting of bullets. It takes it out of the internally consistent sphere and drops you in the socially acceptable one. And then again I think the entire quiz is built on silliness. But I also always bite bullets. But that's fine with me. I imagine that most religious thinkers and definitely religious instigators would...

Bit two bullets, although I disagree with one of them... ah well...

Congratulations!

Hmm the only thing I would say is that my answers were from a purely rational/logical standpoint without really giving expression to my deeper beliefs. The questions themselves kind of shape the response - for example some might argue that there is very good evidence that the Loch Ness Monster exists. In addition, it is possible to believe in a deity which is not ominpotent, omniscient or moral in any human sense of the word. Seems like it's designed to catch out Christian fundmentalists, but not much more than that.

This is classic. When I clicked the link for this thread it said:

Battleground God

by Hermes

Two hits, one bullet. But I sort of expected it because, it said at the beginning, this quiz doesn't cater to those who don't believe in the supreme power of rationality.

If God exists she would have the freedom and power to create square circles and make 1 + 1 = 72.

True

You've just bitten a bullet!

In saying that God has the freedom and power to do that which is logically impossible (like creating square circles), you are saying that any discussion of God and ultimate reality cannot be constrained by basic principles of rationality. This would seem to make rational discourse about God impossible. If rational discourse about God is impossible, there is nothing rational we can say about God and nothing rational we can say to support our belief or disbelief in God. To reject rational constraints on religious discourse in this fashion requires accepting that religious convictions, including your religious convictions, are beyond any debate or rational discussion. This is to bite a bullet.

How is that biting a bullet? I thought that the whole point of god is that you're supposed to believe based on faith, not rationality. I've certainly never met anyone who had a rational reason for believing in god. I just thought it was a given that the two didn't mix.

me to

pretty cool quiz, but I wish that i could have debated with the guy or gal who made it, because when I bit the bullet twice I felt kind of justified... I didn't see a reason for that counting against me.
