So, you want another reason to be angry about a certain group of religious people? Look no further, my dear friends at PTF,
Life Productions Ministry***=>***Home page

As I said to my girlfriend, "they took a shot at post-modernism? Okay now I'm offended on a personal level."

Feel like having your self esteem kicked around and eaten by something ugly, resembling the Detroit Red Wings (Hatchet ), find the TAKE THE GOOD TEST ! part and TAKE THE GOOD TEST!

Thank you Life Productions for insulting post-modernism, discrediting an entire movement, telling me I'm a shithead, only with more words, trying to make me feel bad for even considering abortion (of course, woman abuse is fine), telling me homosexuality is bad but being pro-life is GREAT, giving me TWO options in your test without room for explanation, and thanks for telling me to basically hate my parents:

Have you ever failed to put Him first in your life?"
Gather around. Let's have a few drinks and I'll see you ALL in hell.

Okay, I looked it over a bit. I'm appalled, that's for sure.

There's a lot of suppositions in there. The good test? I failed horribly. I think I pretty much got a zero, because even though I never committed murder, I have hated people, at least for a while, and apparently your thoughts and feelings have to be 100% under control and clear at 100% of the time, or else, unless you repent, you get an eternity in hell.

I don't want to debate about the Bible or about God, but rather about the site and why it is bad for people to see. They must think they are perfect, because they seem to know what God thinks about everything. Nothing is a mystery to them. They just think about it, look at the Bible, and tell you the correct answer to life.

So I guess everyone who lived before Christianity and everyone who is not a Christian or does not even know about Christianity is simply burning in eternal suffering because they didn't repent to the correct god. Maybe there are a few exceptions, but that's what I'm walking away from that site knowing.

Can't we just live life? If God gave us lives, he certainly didn't give us very open ones. Aren't the murderers as critical to our livelihood as the priests (the nonpedophiliatic ones, I mean)? Maybe they are bad, but our minds certainly work uniquely. We don't all think the same.

Ah, screw it. I'm rambling. [Posts]

Oh yeah, the site is horrid. And it doesn't reflect every religious person, obviously, but it's just a really really really really really bad example. Me and my girlfriend took the test and afterwards, they basically bullied us with what they said!

They also never gave me results. They just showed me the commandments, told me how to interpret them, then at the end, told me that because I am human, I failed the test and have to make up the class in summer school (for purposes of symbolism, that translates to telling me I'm going to hell because I am only human, and the only way to get to heaven is by going to church and repenting every day or something).

Disclaimer: I haven't checked out the whole website in the OP, so I am not saying I support all that is on that site. But I did take the test in question.

Here are my thoughts on it:

I've broken every single one of the ten commandments. And I know that I was wrong and am deeply sorry. This world is harsh and it will not forgive my sins. Arrogant people of this world are harsh as well and will judge me and condemn me to hell in their minds even though they themselves are guilty of the same 'crimes'. I praise God that He in His mercy does forgive me because He can see my heart like no other human can and He truly knows I am sorry. And I thank Christ for being my mediator.

The quiz is purposely trying to convict people's souls into acknowledging their wrongs so that they can be set free, not so they can be condemned.

Quote:
God does not want you to perish. He is rich in mercy and compassion, and has provided a way for you to be forgiven. He has invited you to come to Him for a full pardon and receive the free gift of Eternal Life. You cannot earn it, and you do not deserve it, but God is offering it to you as proof of His love for you. Imagine you are standing in front of a judge, guilty of multiple serious crimes. All the evidence has been presented and there is no doubt about your guilt. Your apologies and good works cannot erase your crimes; therefore you must be punished. The fine for your crime is $250,000 or imprisonment, but you don’t have two pennies to rub together. The judge is about to pass sentence when someone you don't even know steps in and pays your fine for you! The court accepts the money and declares that you are free to go. The law has been satisfied, your debt has been paid in full, and the stranger’s sacrifice was a demonstration of his love for you. That’s what God did for you 2000 years ago.
The Bible says that the God of the Universe became a man (Jesus Christ), and suffered and died on the cross for your sins and mine so that we could be set free. It's as simple as this—we broke the Law, and Jesus paid our fine.
"God demonstrated His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us." (Galatians 3:13)
Do you see God’s great love for you? Do you see your need for His forgiveness?
This story above ^ doesn't happen in any kingdom on this earth, but in God's kingdom it does happen.

We (mankind) tend to either bury our wrongs and not face them. This becomes a habit of avoidance; so much so that it gets to the point that we actually become blind to our wrong doings and start justifying our wrong actions/thoughts. And to the other extreme we can be so hard on ourselves that all we do is think of our wrongs to the point that they immobilize us as we are wrought with guilt. God does not want us to do either of these two things. He wants us to have right heart and to be set free.

When we are forgiven we can let go of our arrogance and pride and face what we did wrong and grow from it. We can set the guilt down instead of carrying it with us all of our days.

That is what I got from the quiz anyway.

Perspective is everything, but truth is still truth.

Nothing about the site seemed right to me. Even the things that most Christians accept as truth, they presented in a poor manner.

ummmm, i have lloked at this site and see it as on a par with the 'god hates fags' site. basically it is something to be laughed at from a personal level, and cried over on an academic level. or even the outher way around considering the dammage this this kind of thing can do to people who are not as strong in there own convictions.
