This test is sort of a silly and simplistic test. However, the point it is trying to make has some validity in my opinion.

One key point of Christianity is that ALL have sinned. No one is perfect. All of us, from the prisoner on death row to Pope Benedict, have failed to live up to the perfection that God desires.

That is what makes the grace of God that flows to us from the cross so wonderful. God loves all of us equally. He died on the cross so that His perfection could become our perfection. No one can boast of being better than anyone else. All are forgiven children of God.

So true Pablo. You have the grace of Jesus Christ down pat!

Of course, that is not the test's conclusion: the test basically told me I'm not me because some book said I'm not. Here's what I mean by that: The test actually responded that it did not believe me. I quite do not understand the mindset of anyone who would write such a test. At a certain point I had to stop since there was no way to select an accurate response (none given to choose from.)

If you're up for something ridiculous and irritating, take the test for yourself. Otherwise, just read the short blurb. Basically, their tests tells you that you are automatically going to "hell." Surely, no one falls for this ridiculous junk?

That is just RIDICULOUS! Why would anyone want to believe in that sort of God? And they can take a hike, given all of the right-wing Christian sex scandals. They just lie to themselves.
