Interesting...it has nothing to do with saying that any religion is better or worse than any other....only in that your beliefs do not contradict themselves. I took one hit, and bit no bullets. How does everyone else here do?

Zero hits, two bullets. Reading the FAQ first helped on one question.

Battleground Analysis
Congratulations!

You have been awarded the TPM medal of distinction! This is our second highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.

The fact that you progressed through this activity being hit only once and biting no bullets suggests that your beliefs about God are well thought out and almost entirely internally consistent.

The direct hit you suffered occurred because one set of your answers implied a logical contradiction. At the bottom of this page, we have reproduced the analysis of your direct hit. You would have bitten bullets had you responded in ways that required that you held views that most people would have found strange, incredible or unpalatable. However, this did not occur which means that despite the direct hit you qualify for our second highest award. A good achievement!

One hit, one bullet... but I think I answered the question that made me bite a bullet wrong because I read it wrong.... that's my story and I'm sticking with it:D

I'm was trying to take this quiz with my husband screaming at a hockey fight at the top of his lungs (so what if both goalies are fighting?:confused: ) So paying attention to the questions was nearly impossible

Some of the questions were kind of confusing if you didn't read them carefully. I think that *might* have been how I took a hit, but without going back through it I'm not sure. I've been on a philosophy kick lately, and this just seemed like fun.

"You have been awarded the TPM service medal! This is our third highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.

The fact that you progressed through this activity without suffering many hits and biting no bullets suggests that whilst there are inconsistencies in your beliefs about God, on the whole they are well thought-out."

Oh, well...

I'm really more interested in ethics and motivation, and the sources of deeply held beliefs, than in the arguments between atheism, agnosticism, and belief in God.

My hits had to do with the logic of atheism, (possibly a matter of definition, as I define a-theism as "outside of the sphere of theism" rather than "God does not exist" which I consider to be unprovable, hence irrational). Also, I consider God to be inscrutable, which throws a wrench in many of these speculations, hah!

Interesting stuff!!
