No (I will overlook sarcasm here) and this is the good part, everyone has a direct line to God through the Bible and prayer. I am sorry but if you are of the Christian faith then the Bible is THE book, and it is clear in the bible. I seriously do not understand how people who are Christians do not believe they must follow the bible. If someone can help me understand this view I would appreciate it.

So, let me get this straight. . . All Bible believing (and following) Christians are considered the religious right by you? How sad

According to that test, I'm -6.5 economically, and -7.13 socially. I'm in the same neighborhood as the Dalai Lama

Default Screw scales

Maybe not really...

According to the Political Compass thingy I'm an "Economic Left/Right: -6.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.38", so basically your generic run-of-the-mill liberal/civil libertarian. It may not be that accurate, though, because I think sometimes I subconsciously shift answers on those things to what I think "sounds" good rather than what I actually believe, sort of a "heart vs. mind" conflict or something like that...

But it sounds pretty accurate, though... borderline socialist on economic issues (more social democratic than socialist, or halfway between lassiez-faire and communism, or something like that), YAY for civil liberties for the most part, pro-choice up to a point, pro-life after a point, hate war, want pot legalized, think the Welfare state should be improved rather than reduced...

Pretty unoriginal, basically.

It's interesting how there always seems to be so many libertarians on the internet, though... I guess when you spend a lot of your time away from society on the internet it becomes easier to believe that "society" doesn't exist... MUAHAHAHA.

Or maybe, per capita, we are the more intelligent and computer literate segment of society. MUAHAHAHA
