Default Battleground God

I'm not sure if this has been posted before or if this is even the correct forum for such a post, but I thought everyone here might find this interesting (if you don't already know about it):

Battleground God

Enjoy.

That was fun. I took one hit and bit one bullet.
I was contradictory in that I stated that I required irrevocable proof for a god, but I didn't hold evolution to the same standard.
The bullet I bit was kind of wordy, but still mostly consistent.

This was fun! I got away clean, and was awarded a medal of honor or somesuch.

I took one hit but bit no bullets, and was awarded the TPM medal of distinction.

It's great fun and educational.

Took zero hits.
Bit zero bullets.
Averages for the almost 90k people to have completed the test yield 1.36 hits and 1.1 bullets bitten.

I won their medal of honor!!!! Yay!!!! I'm on a Mac right now, with MSIE 5.5, so I can't bogart the image link easily.

I was awarded the medal as well. No direct hits but one bitten bullet. And that one I would probably debate with the author.

I too made it through clean. (Hint- I expect it's easier to take an agnostic position than an atheist one.)

Some of the questions are not properly true-false, I think. I am sure that if allowed to expand on the answers, it would be easy enough to justify at least weak atheism.

I don't want to ruin the test for anyone... so Engage Cloaking Device!

I was able to advocate the atheist position just fine, myself. As long as you say that absence of evidence can be evidence of absence, and that absolute proof is not necessary for belief, you can skate between the evolution questions and the deity-existance questions just fine.

Alright. I pretended to be a theist without getting any hits or bullets (not that I believed in it). I guess the theists among us might actually be consistent if they want to.
