Test yourself on your religious views...
Not on whether one is right or wrong but whether you hold a consistent view and dont contradict yourself. I took no direct hits and bit one bullet.

My prize -
You have been awarded the TPM medal of honour! This is our highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.
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.

It's bollocks. In one question I said that it's rational to beleive that there is no Loch Ness Monster due to lack of evidence but I then said that atheism is a form of faith because there is no proof that there is no God which it claimed was contradictory.
I don't think it is. Just because it's rational for you to beleive the Loch Ness Monster doesn't exist doesn't mean you're right and the same applies to atheism, IMHO.

Intersting, its when you start to delve deeper that it becomes complicated.
bit like the issues we face now : is it pure faith and a an unfaltering belief, or just being misguided.
anyway there was one major error, anyone spot it? (and it wasnt spelling)

I got tripped on on the can God make square circles question. I said yes because my interpretation is that being an omnipotent superbeing you can do anything, hence a universe could be created where square circles are possible (presumably using more dimensions), but I bit a bullet for that one

Faith is the belief in something with no evidence, ie you have to believe it is true and there has to be no evidence
It's the question's context I fell foul on.....
The Loch Ness monster story, being hundreds of years old, one would assume that if it existed, it would be dead by now, and therefore does not exist. That is my rational answer to the loch ness question. As it was asked in a the present context, not past. The Loch Ness monster has never been claimed to be immortal.
God on the otherhand is considered imortal, so a present context is valid.
