Well, this atheist just passed the battleground god game without any hits or bullets. I might try a few more.

Hm. Got to the last question on the God thing. Though the result doesn't really make sense.

Somehow saying god can change things so that the impossible is possible makes it so you can't have a rational discussion about god.

I don't get it.

As for the morality thing...

Moral Parsimony Score is 92%... same as Vagabond.

Distance 100%

Family 100%

Acts 67%.

Results For Taboo stuff.... Your Moralising Quotient is: 0.00. Your Interference Factor is: 0.00. Your Universalising Factor is: -1.

Battleground Analysis

Congratulations!

You have been awarded the TPM medal of distinction! This is our second highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.

The fact that you progressed through this activity without being hit and biting only one bullet suggests that your beliefs about God are internally consistent and well thought out.

A direct hit would have occurred had you answered in a way that implied a logical contradiction. The bitten bullet occurred because you responded in a way that required that you held a view that most people would have found strange, incredible or unpalatable. However, because you bit only one bullet and avoided direct hits completely you still qualify for our second highest award. A good achievement!

And I disagree with the "bullet". It came on a question that was "If there is a god. can god make 1+1 = 1/2", and I said yes. In previous questions, the question was asked if there was a god, can god to anything, and I said yes. If god can not change the rules of math, then god surely can't do anything.

Interestingly, I am an atheist. It didn't say what side of the argument your on, just that you are consistent in whatever your beliefs are.

I bit two bullets and took no direct hits.

My Moral Passimony is (lol) 41%. I don't believe you are EVER morally obliged to take a life or cause a death. I do believe that you have more responsibility to your family that to others, and I do not believe that you are in the wrong for spending money on something you want, rather than donating it to charity. So sue me.

hmm this questions my faith.....

Staying Alive

Congratulations! According to one theory of personal identity, you have survived!

You chose:
Round 1: It's the spaceship for me!
Round 2: I'll take the silicon!
Round 3: Let my body die!

However, although you have survived, at least one of your choices seems a little problematic.

There are basically three kinds of things which could be required for the continued existence of your self. One is bodily continuity, which actually may require only parts of the body to stay in existence (e.g., the brain). Another is psychological continuity, which requires, for the continued existence of the self, the continuance of your consciousness, by which is meant your thoughts, ideas, memories, plans, beliefs and so on. And the third possibility is the continued existence of some kind of immaterial part of you, which might be called the soul. It may, of course, be the case that a combination of one or more types of these continuity is required for you to survive.

Your choices are just about consistent with the view that the continuity of the soul is essential for personal survival. Your first choice showed a desire to keep your physical body alive. Your second choice, in contrast, showed a willingness to have your body replaced by synthetic parts to preserve your psychological continuity. Your last choice showed a willingness to jettison your physical body and end psychological continuity in order to save your soul.

There is something troubling about these choices. First, the tracking of the soul seems a bit erratic. In the first choice, it followed the physical body, but on the second it followed psychological continuity. So it seems there is no reliable way of deciding where the soul goes - does it follow the body or psychological continuity? Secondly, the soul seems rather an empty self. It is a self that needs no thoughts, beliefs or memories to exist. It is rather a kind of immaterial home for thoughts, emotions, beliefs and so on. Do you really think the self is such a thing?

I got two hits on questions like these:

Question 17
It is justifiable to believe in God if one has a firm, inner conviction that God exists, regardless of the external evidence, or lack of it, for the truth or falsity of the conviction that God exists.


I think it's rather a matter of freedom then simply "following the evidence". I don't believe in god due to the evidence found but I don't think it should impair anyone to not believe.

Staying alive is highly highly flawed.

The problem is being an atheist I was viewing the first two questions with the assumption that there is no soul, suddenly on the third question I had to make the assumption that I had a soul. It rendered the answers to my first two questions wrong (I took the teletransporter because I believe a human body and mind is nothing more than a physical state).
