Are you really as skeptical as you think? Is your faith in Jesus unshakeable? Then you wont be afraid to test yourself will you?
Q1 - A tramp enters your hardware store and asks in a slurred voice for a bottle of meths. Do you:- A - Refuse to serve him in a loud voice and then pray for his immortal soul. B - Ask him suspiciously why he wants the meths. C - Immediately get him a large bottle out of the fridge. Q2 - You are carefully inspecting the stations of the cross in your local Catholic church when the Priest surprises you by sticking his head out of the confessional and offers to show you the valuable relics in the crypt. Do you:- A - Thank him profusely and say you would be delighted to accept. B - Politely decline and walk out slightly red faced. C - Tell him not to finish his shit on your account and leave hurriedly before he notices the missing candlesticks. Q3 - You walk into a pub and see a sign above the bar saying ‘Happy Hour - A Beer, A Pie, & a Woman - only 50p’ Do you:- A - Scream and rush out realising it was not actually the laundrette and seek immediate remission of your sins. B - Fumble in your pocket and check how much change you have. C - Read the sign repeatedly before enquiring suspiciously whose pies they are. Your Scores Mostly A’s - You are a true blue God fearing tax paying Christian. God bless you, and all who sail in you. Mostly B’s - You’re not too sure one way or another. Perhaps you should consider attending bible study classes to discover the missing meaning in your life. On the other hand, perhaps you just need to be more assertive, and answer the door or phone with a simple fuck off. Mostly C’s - You are a true blue God scoffing tax paying Skeptic. There’s no pulling the wool over your eyes is there? Unless it’s a robbery and they forgot to bring the duct tape. And your jumper is wool, and not man-made fibres. Or your bobble hat is. Boro Nut |

Let me be the first to say, this quiz... is horrible. It hold has 3 questions and being mean to priests doesn't make you any more of a skeptic than if you were nice to him (and picked B).

On the other hand, you can buy relatively pure methyl alcohol at what Yanks call "the drug store," what the Brits call the "chemist's." Not sure how it's referred to Down Under. I use it to clean tape heads and optics- you have to be careful that it doesn't take the coating off some optics.

Not to mention that the test was far more effective as a test of morality and/or personal integrity than of skepticism.
