Never wanting to pass up a chance to confirm that I am on the moral straight and narrow, I eagerly took the Do You Have Biblical Morals? quiz. Here’s my result:
Your morality is 8% in line with that of the bible.
Damn you heathen! Your book learnin’ has done warped your mind. You shall not be invited next time I sacrifice a goat.
Now, before you go and conclude that the 8% means I’m some kind of moral monster, let me explain. Really, the 8% result was only due to poor question design — not to any flaw in my character! Exhibit A in my defense:
12. What is the best way to curry favor with the Lord?
- By treating all people, including atheists, with kindness and courtesy.
- By learning and accommodating the culture and customs of other people.
- By ritualistically slaughtering animals and burning the parts.
See, all the other questions asked what I would do or what I understand to be right, whereas this one only asked me to recall what the Bible says — which is why I got an answer “right” Biblically.
Whew! Potential crisis averted, moving on.
