I got a 17. Oh, they misspelled “atheist” on question 13. ---

I reckon we Anti-fundies should start a movement or something. Oh, wait…:smack: 😃 ---

Sane, 25. If the test had been a bit less Christian-oriented I may have scored slightly higher. ---

19 and Anti-Fundie. No, the test wasn’t perfect, but it was entertaining at least. Funny, I consider myself moderate, but I suppose most people see themselves that way… ---

I’m not a Christian, so the results (Sane- 33) probably aren’t accurate for me. I agree that the test was poorly designed. If you’re tolerant you can’t be religious? Since this is the Fundie Test, not the Theist Test, why not have liberal-but-religious as an option? ---

I got 17, which is odd. I think they scored wrong. It was clear that the last answer was supposed to be the “least fundy”, but sometimes the second to last seemed less fundy to me. ---

The test was, of course, a series of potshots at serious Christian belief, but I got "You scored 38 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…" Yeah, I did already know that. No, I don’t consider the Bible to be more parables than history. ---

1. Anti-fundie. I don’t see how one could have scored lower, but I’m told 4% of participants did so. ---

I’m sure some people are curious as to what the test says about you if you’re a fundie. Well, in the spirit of public service, I checked the first answer to every question (thereby receiving 57 points) and got the following: You’re a Fundie. A Fundamentalist Christian, specifically of the American variety (though you folks are popping up in Europe, now, too). You believe the Bible to be the literal, true Word of God. Every sentence, every punctuation mark, is the absolute truth – even though you’re probably reading the version compiled over one thousand years after Jesus’ death, by a famously homosexual English king. You’re very likely bigoted, narrow-minded, and judgemental. You fear and hate those that are different from you, and you attack them with a righteous anger fueled by your psychotic, Bronze Age war god. You’re not entirely without good points, mind. Your absolute dedication to your beliefs is remarkable, and… Well, perhaps that’s it. But take heart, my Fundie friend, for now is your time to shine! Fundamentalist Christians just like you have been gaining power in this country, helped in no small part by your president, George W. Bush. If the trend continues, within a couple of decades all the athiests, gays, and scientists will have moved to Canada, leaving you to run the country as you see fit. I’m sure it’ll be the envy of the the Third World. (By the way, my “real” score was 20.) ---
