Although I think looking back that paranoia was nice considering what you could have said with justification, I believe that there is truth to what I said.
"Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:14

or what they were measuring was the level of authoritarian versus anarchic government rather than personal belief?
I know of many christians that are personally against abortion but support legal freedom for it, it seems only the christian righteous need to impose their view on others ... that aside -- what is your take on what would jesus do on the test? maybe that will sort out some of your concerns? enjoy (nice new avatar ... or should I say marvelous?) we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

quote: Maybe the Righteous Christian doesn't exist, legal freedom would ensure judgement be put in God's hands not ours... Either way tho I dunno if God would intervene... Without Personal Belief how would they get an idea of how far right, left you are? I don't think Jesus would mess with such trivial testing, I think he is more worried about what happens after death than what you think about abortion. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. What ever he would do it would be perfect... This of course is jargon for the reply tho. Yep MarvelOUS alright! "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:14

the question is posed in the light of the WWJD program, to think for yourself what his response would be.
Or are you afraid that he will turn out to be a liberal anarchist? we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist

ok,ok we add a category or more. Just so we don't end up with everyone in a separate category.

What is a liberal and what is a Conservative?
These are relative terms, relative to what is being conserved or liberalized. In our nation a conservative is one who seeks to conserve the status quo of the founders which is freedom, and individual liberty and limited government power. The liberal would liberalize the status quo to a more socialistic and legal condition. The most ardent seekers are the most conservative. In Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc the conservative is the one conserving the status quo of Mohammed and the Quran. Thus the oppressive nature of the conservative in these nations. The liberal would liberalize those stringent laws to include more freedom and less government control.

I think the survey is a poorly limited (and fairly baised) political survey which really doesnt address the topic. But hey, most people like surveys, so who am I to complain.

No, no, Darwin Storm. Ned is going to put all of this on a graph. That makes this whole exercise very scientific. And Ned, may suggest that you put it in one of those plastic report covers? That will make it really, really official.

so you are saying that it will not provide any valid relative results? Seems to me you are complaining because either (1) you took the test and did not like the results (especially as you talk about the questions) or (2) are afraid of what the result will be.
Why don't you put your comment to the test and post your results AND what you think jesus would answer and when all the results are in then we can discuss this further? we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmerican.Zen[Deist
