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.

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.

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?

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.
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.

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

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).

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.

Thanks. I don't know that - another cultural context here...

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

OMG, that's so addictive! I've spent there at least 10 minutes without any success. Damn!

"Saloperie/saleté de chat" is more accurate

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.

Never mind - now I can go back to my work.

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
