The percentages are something else DH and I laughed about. When I was telling him his scores, I did about three and he said: " They're not adding up very well, these percentages, are they?" because, of course, they already added up to more than 100% confused.

A lot of the double questions left us confused as well. You totally agreed with one bit and totally disagreed with the other bit of the same 'question' (which was really two questions) – what to answer??!

I had 83% on the scientific and 50% on meditative when. Perhaps it was because I was feeling bolshy about the crazy quiz questions. grin

I knew there woud have been a tenner coming - I should have bet on you, Bags

Butty I would have lost my stake on yours - I had you down as proportionally higher on the meditative scale. smile

We laughed a lot doing that quiz. Thanks for the fun!

Bags Thu 18-Jul-13 20:53:17

Mr Bags and I did it together because we had to discuss the questions. There were quite a few we didn't understand and had to 'interpret' (we may have got it wrong), and then there were several that were really two questions, not one, but you were only allowed one answer. Those defeated us. But you won't be surprised to hear that we are both scientific atheists in spite of these insurmountable problems.

But then, we're scientific everythings! smile. Him more than me – he's even scientific about drawing and painting!

I Scored as Meditative Atheist. It sounds about right to me.

Galen Thu 18-Jul-13 20:05:11

You'd be surprised!

Question 4. " I was hurt deeply by religious people and have never forgiven them"

How long can you really going on blaming things on what happened to you in your childhood?

Not this long I think.

My score was Meditative Atheist. Where it said I was a pleasure to be around, I already knew that! hmm

Galen Thu 18-Jul-13 19:03:24

I come out as agnostic96% with scientific at 65% second confused

Butty Thu 18-Jul-13 18:37:07

when How lovely. smile

What a charming thing to happen. I want a small blue butterfly to land on my phone.

whenim64 Thu 18-Jul-13 18:26:31

Sorry Butty it wasn't unconscious transference on this occasion. I was sitting in my car with the window down (stationary) and a tiny blue butterfly landed on my phone just where the name was. I wasn't going to shoo it, was I? Teach me to second guess, won't it? grin

We're obviously unclassifiable, Merlot! wink

merlotgran Thu 18-Jul-13 18:07:11

Same here, Ana. I think I've broken it.

nightowl Thu 18-Jul-13 18:05:01

I came out as an agnostic. But I could have told you that smile

Butty Thu 18-Jul-13 17:46:06

That was to when

Butty Thu 18-Jul-13 17:45:43

Unconscious transference perhaps wink

Granny23 Thu 18-Jul-13 17:43:34

I'm an APATHETIC atheist which is probably correct because I don't care two hoots grin

Butty Thu 18-Jul-13 17:43:08

when You've done it again. I'm not Bags! grin

whenim64 Thu 18-Jul-13 17:27:00

I knew I should have put a tenner on it bags! grin

I wonder if there's a 'what kind of Christian are you?' questionnaire?

Butty Thu 18-Jul-13 16:43:02

ReverendAcid seems to think I'm a Scientific Atheist.

feetlebaum Thu 18-Jul-13 15:55:52

Me Scientific Atheist...

vegasmags Thu 18-Jul-13 15:53:59

I did one of the other quizzes where it guesses your name and no I am not called Nathan, Caleb, Tiffany or Bethany hmm
