Satan’s Lil’ Helper?

8 May 2006 by Ron

Uh-oh, it’s the Atheist Test, where you can find out what kind of atheist you really are.

Being a kind of humanist/anti-nihilist sort of guy, I was a tiny bit surprised that it turned out that I am “Satan’s Little Helper“.

I resent that, frankly.

I am, by nobody’s measure, particularly little.

    Apparently I’m a Pyrrhonian

    Quietly confident and aloof, the Pyrrhonian recognises that religions exist and that people subscribe to them, but manages to keep well out of it all. Pyrrhonians came to the realisation long ago that all matters of faith are beyond the scope of reason or argument, and thus retains a clear-headed skeptical approach to religion in general. They refuse to place belief in anything for which there is no proof, and regard the majority of theistic claims as irreconcilable. Leading a life of tranquility undisturbed by religious concerns, the position of the Pyrrhonian is enviable, if a little frustrating for others at times.

    Enviable and frustrating. I like that.

    What Sort of Atheist Are You?

    The Pyrrhonian
    The results are in, and it appears that you have scored 60%…

    I like mine!

    “The Ardent Atheist
    The results are in, and it appears that you have scored 74%…
    You are an atheist, pure and simple. You think God is just one big lie, and consider religious people to be both annoying and beneath you. Ardent atheists will argue tooth and claw for their position, and have no truck with people that won’t listen. You think being an atheist is the only way to lead an honest life, and see no reason to accept the pleas of faith. Ardent atheists are the backbone of atheism. Be proud.”

    Surprisingly, I was satan’s lil’ helper too. I think arguing so much with xians is making me mean. LOL I am usually nice, really.

    Ardent Atheist for me, too :-) 80%.

    In order to be a Pyrrhonian, I think the answers selected would have to be the ones that reflect a basic respect for theism and those who hold theistic worldviews.

    So if you’re slamming the door in the Mormon’s face, or inviting him in to ridicule him, for example… ;-)

    The questions were pretty biased. I didn’t like the deserted island one, particularly… the choices were ridiculous (a – form a prayer meeting, b – panic, c – kill and gut the weakest survivor, d – let the others decide what to do).

    Since I wouldn’t do A, B, and obviously not C, that left D (which I also would not do, but at least it isn’t *completely* abhorrent to me.) So maybe that’s why I was declared a pyrrhonian… I just let everbody else decide what to do? ;-)

    Wow. I’m an Ardent Atheist according to this test (65%) – and here I was thinking I was an agnostic (I guess that makes me an ardent agnostic atheist)!

    I agree with Chuck S.,though: very biased questions. I wouldn’t have pursued any of the four choices offered for the deserted island, so I picked D also as the lesser of the evils. It didn’t offer E: “Declare yourself leader and proceed to establish a neo-Minoan civilization based on egalitarian principles, heavily influenced by what you know of Bonobo ape lifestyle.”

    I got Ardent Atheist (80%)

    Somehow, I have the feeling that if I only debated more religious people, I’d be Satan’s Lil’ Helper. Don’t get the opportunity that often.

    Not surprisingly, I scored as a Pyrrhonian also.

    Jealous? heheh

    Hey, I scored Ardent, 63%.
    I dunno about religious people being ‘beneath me’, though.
    Hmmmm…sheeple. Maybe so.
    Chuck:

    Yeah, I wouldn’t do any of the choices on the deserted island either.
    I’m a lot of things, but Gilligan ain’t 1 of ‘em. Of course that would be B AND D.

    This little test was fun and killed sometime.

    I picked c because it was the only answer that made me laugh. According to this I am 99.99% Ardent Atheist, news to me.

    73% and an “ardent atheist”. I also said I would “kill and gut the weakest member”, but although I laughed, the “weakest member” might have been a dog that came along with us on that fateful trip – the three-hour tour, as it were.
