Re: WWJD
TTBOMK? means what?
​
To the best of my knowledge.
​
Was that your assessement of the response of Jesus or your own? Are they one and the same?
​
Presumptive, but Jesus. And no, it is not quite the same as mine.
​
Later, if there are enough responses it might be interesting to start a separate thread and discuss each of the questions and what the believers (of all strips) feel would be the response of Jesus with, I presume, scripture to support it.
​
I think that would be interesting but contentious. Let's see if there are any other responses.

Re: And the grid Buz?
The point is that you can agree or disagree with what the question postulates. If you believe the question is biased then you would disagree or strongly disagree with the statement.
​
So just take a position you believe reasonable.

Re: And the grid Buz?
Well, how should this question be reworded?
​
If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations

What they are trying to do is get you to ask those very questions, as well as others.
​
To think.

Actually, it appears to be relatively unbiased. If you take the test and strongly disagree to every question you will end up at 0.00 on the Economic axis and 4.36 Libertarian. On the otherhand if you strongly agree with each question you end up at 0.00 on the Economic axis and 4.36 Authoritarian.
​
So although some people have said that the questions are biased, it actually looks like the test as a whole is pretty neutral.
​
edited to fix typo in figures.
