Permit me to explain why we don't notice you. Your avatar is a very attractive human female, which would bring out the natural urges that exist in us human males. But because we are already married, we have to try our best to ignore your avatar, and you, for fear of painful death.
So there you have it. You are being systematically ignored.


We are BOG. Resistance is voltage over current.

Obviously I scored as a theist. I also learned that the questionaire does not work for theists. My second highest score is in Militant Atheism! eh...because the questions are in reverse mode for theists. Besides, they are tricky questions. If you ask someone whether they like to discuss religion, that doesn't always mean they are militant, just interested, eclectic, whatever.
Anyone know where there is a Christian version?

Used their search utility, searching for "christian". There were also others.
Maybe you could find one or more that you like, and start a new "What kind of Christian are you?" topic.

Or the questions bring out the curious ability of theists to be militant against any OTHER religion?
Thanks for sharing: I look at where people score on thiest as well. The one that first scored as a militant atheist Message 28 was 58% as theist (since revised)
Look at my scores for another take: Message 11
Personally I think these tests are too narrow to be realistic and that this one in particular reflects a bias to (gosh I wonder why) atheism.
Enjoy.
[abe]What the concept of militant aheist means to me is someone with a fundamentalist fervor for pushing atheism. This brings it close to theism. I also think this test is meant in jest. [/abe]

Evangelizing atheists, yes.
It is an overly simplified test, as were the Christain counterparts I checked out. They were actually worse, as generally two of four choices would not even make you Christain anymore.
I don't consider myself militant. I did answer TRUE to the questions about whether I like to discuss or bring up religion. I hope everyone else here is at least guilty of that much, or I will have to add an Honest Atheist category.

I found a bunch too after I posted.
One I was 100% Eastern Orthodox, and RCC, with Mormon as a close follower.
One I was Conservative, and automatically thrown into a category of non-Bible reader, or Bible-ignorer...obviously a quiz put out by the anti-Catholic sects.
One I was J. Falwell Christian!
I will have to look again to decide if any were worthy enough of a thread.

Re: Type of Christian quizes
I think Belief-O-Matic was the one where I was Eastern Orthodox. Not surprisingly, secular humanist was last on the list.
In the other I scored as a questioning believer. Having doubts about the particulars, they say.

"You scored as a Spiritual Atheist
Ah! Some of the coolest people in the world are Spiritual Atheists. Most of them weren't brought up in an organized religion and have very little baggage. They concentrate on making the world a better place and know that death is just another part of life. What comes after, comes after.

Re: about me...
What I find interesting is the relation of theist to spiritual atheist - in both your "spiritual atheist" score and mine, theist is way down the list (mine was 33%). I would think there was some correlation.

Re: about me...
And I was surprised that Theist for me registered even at 25%. Perhaps my Pantheist world view is coming through (God = Universe).

What kind of atheist are you?
You scored as a Agnostic
Agnostics consider the possibility that they may be wrong about God's existence, no matter which side of the fence they stand on. Always willing to objectively evaluate the most ridiculous proof, nevertheless, these guys are skeptics of the Nth degree.
