Here's my one question quiz for identifying Christians without ever asking if they are Christian. I know it's amazing, but it only takes one question versus the 20 for you to identify atheists.

1. Do you think the Bible was written by a bunch of superstitious nomads?

Isn't this spectacular? I won't tell you how I grade it. But trust me, I can always spot the Christian - and not one question regarding whether or not the person believes in God!

Here are some more one question tests...

1. Would you wipe your ass with the pages of the Bible if they were the only paper in the house?

or...

1. Will you say "Jesus was a goat sucking PET-ophile"?

most of the biblical authors were superstitious. most were nomadic. Answer: YES.

where does this question get you?

your questions about Jesus asked to a Deist, or a Muslim or a Jew might actually get you a "YES" answer

but I can PEG YOU as an atheist simply by those questions.

you have been pinned. Atheist identified.

I told you, I'm not going to tell you how I score it. But your results indicate that you are a Christian. Care to take the other tests?

xian

your test identifies you as an atheist.


What Christian denies that they have common traits? Like...DUH! :banghead:

I am not denying that you can classify Christians. Duh :banghead:

The fact that one can identify Christians is not surprising, just like the fact that one can identify atheists is not surprising. Perhaps only surprising to a few atheists, but their subjective opinions on the objective ability to classify them is irrelevant.

Thank you Yoda.

Has Radorth been taking you to his Zen classes?

xian

And the same goes about you and your test questions. I can't believe you think you're on to something. My questions were designed to get a general response from someone who is afraid to go to Hell if they denounce the Christian God. Is it any shock that I can use it to pick Christians? Your test is the same thing except that you pick the atheists by seeing who gives answers that are not encumbered by a devotion to a supernatural diety. Big deal. Atheists already concede that they are not encumbered with a devotion to a supernatural entity.

By the way, aren't you embarrassed that I can pick Christians with one question while it takes you 20 to pick atheists?

Yellum Notnef

Come to terms with what? Just what the hell is your point anyway?

Of course we have more in common than just lack of belief.
Since we don't believe god exists we are prone to agree with each other on many matters that have something to do with religion.

It's no coincidence that your stupid test is chock full of religously orientated questions.

Christ kid,ask us questions about sports,hobbies,cars,food or ANYTHING ELSE that has nothing at all to with religion and see how supernatural you feel.

Wow! Your claims change awfully quickly. You've done a 180 in this thread already!

Here's part of your OP.

And here's what you say now:

So, let me get this straight. It's tough to classify Christians based on common beliefs, but, duh, it's easy to classify Christians based on common beliefs. And to think that some people here called you a troll!

Well, despite the fact that your test was loaded (It didn't specifically ask 'are you an atheist', but it asked closely related questions.), I would agree that you could probably find certain common traits amongst many atheists.

For example, you could what they did for a living. Surveys have shown that scientists, and to a lesser extent physicians, are more likely to be atheists than an average human. You could also conduct the survey in a maximum-security prison. Studies have shown that the vast majority of convicts will be Christians and that less than one percent are atheists.
