"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

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.

Not only for sake of score, I actually do think a higher standard of
proof should be required for a positive belief in any god or anything
metaphysical for that matter.
Anyone wish to entertain this notion?

Badly written. They keep asking blanket questions like
"is X morally correct", but they don't ask by whose
point of view. I assumed they wanted my point of view
at first, but then they started asking questions about
whether other people are justified in thinking that
their actions are moral. But the question doesn't specify
if they want me to say whether it is moral from my viewpoint
or from theirs.
Plus, I hit a "false" when I meant to pick "true" twice
over; I hit back and picked the answer I wanted, and it
doesn't seem to hold that against you... but this means
that you could do that all the way through to get the
"right" answers.
Whatever, I ended up with no direct hits and one bullet bitten,
like you.
