[http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-fundamentalist-christian-test](http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-fundamentalist-christian-test) Your result for The Fundamentalist Christian Test … Modern Christian You scored 42 Fundiness points! You’re a Modern Christian! But you probably already knew that. You probably consider the Bible to be more of a set of parables than real, literal history. You’ve watched Discovery Channel documentaries about Jesus having children without flying into a rage. You attend church regularly, consider your relationship with God to be fairly healthy, and you believe loving Jesus to be the best way to go about life, and to get into heaven. There’s still downsides, however. Some Anti-Fundies will attack you just as remorselesly as they do your Fundie cousins, while some Fundies may attack you because you don’t take the Bible as complete fact. You also, very likely, cherry-pick your beliefs; you may believe homosexuality to be a sin, but you don’t support stoning people who work on Sundays. All in all, though, you’re a healthy, normal individual. A little objective reading of the Old Testament, however, might be something of an eye-opener. ---

I bet a lot of other Dopes will score like this: You’re Sane! I bet that’s a relief! You’re most likely an intelligent, people-focused person, and probably an agnostic or lapsed Christian. You tend to avoid the more outspoken Christians of the world, and probably consider them a bit nuts, but on the whole you respect their dedication and try to treat them as fellow human beings. On the downside, Anti-Fundies might consider you a bit wishy-washy, and Fundies will happily lump you in with anyone who disagrees with them. Your respect for others’ beliefs will serve you well, however, so don’t worry too much. You’re the sane one, after all. ---

You can skip that part. I did. I got a 16. > [@](#): > > You are an **Anti-Fundie!** This probably means that you’re a logical, analytical person, and probably a big fan of Occam’s Razor. You’re very likely an athiest [sic], or at least an agnostic leaning that way. It’s also likely that you were raised with a Christian upbringing, and eventually saw how nonsensical the whole thing was. > > On the downside, though, you may come off as a bit dispassionate or cold.

You may occasionally look down your nose at a willfully ignorant Fundie, but at least you’re not trying to beat 'em over the head with an ancient book of fairy tales. ---

I’m sane, but…I love criticising multiple choice test questions like this. My “favorite”/least favorite, depending on what you mean, was this one: Jesus was… […] …a very nice man who may or may not have been the son of God, or at least divinely inspired. …as far as archaelogical and historical evidence can tell, nonexistent. Ummmm. What if we think that the best evidence, including whatever historiographical credence we give the Bible, points to a Jesus that almost certainly **did** exist **and** was almost certainly not divine? ---

Sane. But who wrote the test anyway? Many of the questions ran along a continuum from rational/humanist to some sort of religious bigotry and ofered one-sided positions for complex issues (Besides, isn’t there more to faith than just abortions, gender and getting into heaven?) I had to leave several of the questions unanswered and I just gave up and used the closest answer for others. ---

20 fundie points here. I think it sums me up pretty well. ---

I got the same result as **Dio** , though with 18 points. Shocker. I agree with \*\*Ludovic \*\*that the Jesus question was poorly asked. I think he was probably a real person, but I don’t think he was anything supernatural. ---

I agree some of the questions were poorly designed — the historical Jesus question in particular. ---
