Here's a simple logic test about God. It's not about whether it's right or wrong to believe in God, but rather it measures how consistent your belief is.
Here's the link: Battleground God
Myself, I was awarded the Medal of Distinction. I had to bite one bullet and admit to an inconsistency, or as the site said, higher standars for one thing over another. So folks, read the questions carefully. I cannot stress this enough. I breezed over the one question where I got called on and I got hammered for it. Well, maybe it wasn't THAT bad, but you want accurate results, don't you? So read through and comprehend the questions carefully.
Here's my score:

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!
How did you do compared to other people?
· 311167 people have completed this activity to date.
· You suffered zero direct hits and bit 1 bullet.
· This compares with the average player of this activity to date who takes 1.39 hits and bites 1.11 bullets.
· 45.72% of the people who have completed this activity, like you, took very little damage and were awarded the TPM Medal of Distinction.
· 7.65% of the people who have completed this activity emerged unscathed with the TPM Medal of Honour.
Bitten Bullet 1
You answered "True" to questions 6 and 13.
These answers generated the following response:
You stated earlier that evolutionary theory is essentially true. However, you have now claimed that it is foolish to believe in God without certain, irrevocable proof that she exists. The problem is that there is no certain proof that evolutionary theory is true - even though there is overwhelming evidence that it is true. So it seems that you require certain, irrevocable proof for God's existence, but accept evolutionary theory without certain proof. So you've got a choice: (a) Bite a bullet and claim that a higher standard of proof is required for belief in God than for belief in evolution. (b) Take a hit, conceding that there is a contradiction in your responses.
You chose to bite the bullet.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Notice the "certain, irrevocable proof" part about belief in God.
READ THE QUESTIONS CAREFULLY!
As it is, I did admit that I required higher standards of proof for God over evolution. I had thought they meant absolute belief in God rather than simply believing in God. Don't let wording confuse you.
Again, and I hope you get this, read the questions carefully.
Enjoy! And if anybody wants to talk abot my results or theirs, then feel free to post!
