Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
Yeah, I got 61%, though at least one of the questions was a 'have you stopped hitting your God yet' sort of question, and some others were 'you wold be agreeing/disagreeing with these statements, but not for the same reason a Calvinist would'
Funny statements about the 'enjoying sex' thing, if they are otherwise pragmatic about no frivolous waste of time in other endeavours, and of course the fact hat self-critisism as a culture is attributed to them.

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
It's not a representative quiz, as Beo points out, so it's rather pointless in the context of proving how Calvinist you might be.
I'm 39% though. Still too high for my liking.

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
Why? Much of the Calvanist believes are against RC, and some are decently practical too. Interesting you got so low a score. Did you answer some questions in respect to the Calvanist viewpoint or b simply answering the questions as asked?

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
What an interesting discussion evolved from my silly post!
Well, I searched the web and I didn't find any Calvinist church registered in the Czech Republic. Maybe I should found one.

That was the point I was making.beowuuf wrote:answering the questions as asked?
I was brought up catholic, now I'm agnostic. Honestly, I don't know anything about Calvanism. I simply answered the questions based on my own opinions.

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
Same here. I mean, about the not knowing anything about Calvinism and just answering the questions by my own opinions, not the being brought up religious thing

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
Obviously it was the objective - it just tested if you would be a good Calvinist, or if your... erm... life values and behaviour and everything are coherent with Calvinism (i.e. it was NOT an excercise on how good you are at theory of Calvinism).Gambit37 wrote:I simply answered the questions based on my own opinions.

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
Erm, sorry, Ameena, but could you explain it for me? It's probably too hot here and my brain is overheated, but I don't see the point... thanks.

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
Ooh, looks interesting...I've seen a few games with similar concepts (draw stuff you need in order to advance), and they were mostly cool, as I remember
. I don't have a Wii, but maybe I will know someone who does, lol.

I'm a bit Terminator-obsessed lately, so sooner or later I had to come across this:

There is also a second part with one of the hottest scenes ever!

I couldn't watch beyond a couple of minutes. I know it's amateur fan stuff, but the editing is appalling. 2/5

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
I've had a few goes at that game before, several years ago (only I think it was called something else...no clue what site it was on anyway). Never got aywhere with it, lol - kitty kept escaping

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
DONE! DONE! I was just about throwing the computer screen out of the window, I said to myself, "OK, just this last attempt and then I get mad" - and I did it! I did it. Although it's a bit disappointing - I was expecting some "ta-da", or at least "well done", or something - and the game just restarted.Ameena wrote:Never got aywhere with it, lol - kitty kept escaping.

Re: Cool stuff you've found on the web
well, the game is easy enough if not for the fact it keeps pausing on me.. I just got fed up with the fact that it can't stay playing for very long, because I'd be in the middle of moving it and then the screen just freezes for a second and then continues
which is not great when you are trying to move the little metal balls around delicately
