Via One Hand Clapping, a blog I've just figured out is pretty good.

Evidently, I am Leviticus. But it's kind of hard to answer questions about God when you're an atheist.

Comments

Not to diss Atheists, but I suspect a lot of Atheists who take this test will turn out to be scary/wrathy/rulebound books, based on their images of God I've gleaned from them.

Comments

You know me. Do you think I'm "scary/wrathy/rule bound"?

Not to diss southerners, but I think the south is such a religion-soaked region that people who become atheists do so out of a sense of personal rebellion. I suspect that many of the atheists you know have become such because of a certain view of god that they're trying to escape.

Religion up here - particularly catholicism, which is very strong in this particular city - is a much more take it or leave it kind of affair. I would suspect there are a great many more atheists up here than would call themselves such. If you don't feel it, you just don't go to church. It's not a big deal. Nobody ever asked my what church I go to until I moved to Athens.

Anyway, I'm not an atheist out of any particular view of god other than seeing no particular reason to belive such a thing exists.

No, I don't think you're that way. The question is do you see God that way? That's what my comment was getting at.

A shortcoming of the quiz site is that I don't see any way to browse the possible results. For all I know, its description of Leviticus doesn't square at all with my "wrathy/rule-bound/scary." Another reader told me that she was Ephesians, but I don't know what that means, to the site, either.

I'm totally with you on Atheist Anatomy, by the way. I've seen the shrapnel of certain destructive beliefs about God in too many folks' psyches, including my own during my Atheist days, discount it.

Another shortcoming of the quiz is that there aren't too many neutrally-oriented options. For example: what's your outlook on life? The answers don't really allow for a "take the bad with the good" kind of attitude. "What's your mission?" Mission? I'm here. I do what I do. To have a "mission" assumes that there's someone to assign it to you.

Another shortcoming: too few questions.

Admittedly, if you're an atheist, finding out what book of the bible you are is kind of a silly thing to do anyway.
