2. Deist (94%)
3. Objectivist (92%)
4. Implicit Atheist (92%)
5. Atheistic Paganist (88%)


In most cases I score as an Objectivist but I did it for a third time and took my time with the answers and contemplated their potential results. I personally have always viewed myself as a plain old atheist but I do have my sympathies for Polytheism and Satanism

I'm, apparently, a Strong Agnostic, with the following definition provided;

Definition:

A strong agnostic is defined as one who denies that any person can possibly know whether any gods exist or not. This definition distinguishes strong agnostics from agnostics more generally, those who don't claim to know whether any gods exist or not. A strong agnostic is thus one who takes a position on the limits of human knowledge, not simply on their own knowledge of the existence or non-existence of gods.

The term strong agnostic was coined as an analog to the term strong atheist. Both terms share a similar relationship with their parent concepts. Strong agnostics goes a step further than agnostics and strong atheists goes a step farther than atheists. Whereas agnostics don't claim to know something, strong agnostics denies that that knowledge is possible; whereas atheists don't believe in gods, strong atheists deny that gods exist.

Examples:

In stressing our inability to pronounce on such lofty matters, Hume might be described as an agnostic or sceptic rather than an atheist. Nevertheless, the naturalist worldview that he espouses is practically identical to that of atheism.

God has no role to play in explaining the world and human experience, or the phenomena of art, morality, and religion. Hence a strong agnosticism tends to merge with a practical atheism whereby the concept of God becomes redundant in explaining or expressing features of the world and human existence.
- David Fergusson, Faith and Its Critics A Conversation

=================================================================

The quiz wasn't the worst I've seen, but I can't agree with it's conclusion.
I am assuming I get tagged as an agnostic since I think it's not possible to know whether God exists. But I find no reason to suppose he does. At all. Seems disingenuous, then, to call myself agnostic (or at least, agnostic without adding atheist to the term) simply because I don't figure it's possible to absolutely KNOW whether a non-interventionist God created us, and then forgot about us.

Anyone have any thoughts? Or any results, if you take the Godless-o-meter?

I got "Weak Agnostic" as number 1, "transhumanist" as number 2, and "rationalist" as number 3.

I took this before and got exactly the same results I think.

Objectivist
"Objectivism's central tenets are that reality exists independently of consciousness, that human beings have direct contact with reality through sense perception, that one can attain objective knowledge from perception through the process of concept formation and inductive logic, that the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness (rational self-interest), that the only social system consistent with this morality is one that displays full respect for individual rights embodied in laissez-faire capitalism, and that the role of art in human life is to transform humans' metaphysical ideas by selective reproduction of reality into a physical form-a work of art-that one can comprehend and to which one can respond emotionally."

Like the OP - I think the "strong agnostic" rather than just outright atheist came from the questions about it being unknowable or unprovable that a deity exists. Of course it's unknowable of something definitely does not exist. Maybe I just haven't seen it yet. That just seems logical. I'd put money on them not existing though. The rest I guess I'm OK with.

For some reason it lists me as a Deist.

Apparently I'm a Transhumanist, followed by Ethical Culturist (both terms I was unfamiliar with). :shrug:

Some of the questions were phrased a little oddly. Interesting quiz though.
