Are you the worst enemy of the religious right?

[hyphenate]

Poll question: Are you the worst enemy of the religious right?

I had posted to another thread that it seems like the worst enemy of a member of the religious right would have to be a gay, vegan, liberal, magna cum laude atheist minority woman who has had an abortion and takes birth control pills. Sounds about right?

Well, I got to thinking--and that's a dangerous thing! So I thought it would be interesting to see some answers! For the argument's sake, combine the abortion/birth control in one.

[LeftyMom]

1. six

:evilgrin:

[Dervill Crow]

2. Only three, but if pagan was listed it would be four.

They aren't thrilled with polytheists.

[A-Long-Little-Doggie]

5. Oh yeah, I did great on a Worldview quiz on "how christian are you?"

The highest score you could get was 107. I got a -6! :evilgrin:

[pink-o]

34. Oh, you gotta link the rest of us up to that!

...or even better, start an independent thread. You know how DU'ers love those quizzes.

[A-Long-Little-Doggie]

48. Here ya go!

You can find this very enlightening quiz at: http://www.worldviewweekend.com/test/register.php.

You will have to pre-register, which I did as Seigfreid Wilson, 39, of Kansas!
:evilgrin:

BTW, not my real name...

And I will create a new post for the quiz.

[pink-o]

49. Thanx!

..."Seigfried" :rofl:

[hyphenate]

60. What a funny quiz!

I'm beginning to think I might have ended up with one of the lowest scores possible! I think my opinion was counter to just about every single opinion of a fundie or whoever else developed that thing! What's funny is that they worded some of the questions such that even if you answered on either end of the scale, you were still admitting to being a radically religious right-winger.

Your classification is: Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker

Oh, and another thing!!! You don't fucking have to be a goddamned Marxist/Socialist or Communist to be a fucking liberal! Jerks! Assholes!

[GoneOffShore]

66. Nyah, nyah

Your classification is: Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker

Your score is: -89 points of 170 possible, -52%

I did better than you.

I'd like to do it again and see if I can get -170 points.

That was too much fun.

[A-Long-Little-Doggie]

80. You did great!

I posted this quiz in GD, too, and about 90% of the people who took it ended up as CMSSH. Apparently to the people who developed this all of these terms mean the same thing.

83. I got 26%

I am a Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker. Apparently, they want me to report to the nearest World View weekend or attend a one week summit "experience" so that I can improve my biblical worldview.


I'm pissed, I really wanted that beautiful printable certificate!! Damn my Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker nature.....

81. Thank you! n/t

[BlooInBloo]

4. I make them cry when I talk to them. Is that worth anything?

[MrCoffee]

9. you make gay, vegan, liberal, magna cum laude atheist minority women cry?

[BlooInBloo]

10. Heh. No, dork - religious people.

[BlooInBloo]

12. And maybe the random vegetarian - but that's just me being an asshole.

[yewberry]

19. Those aren't sobs, man, they're snorts of derision.

Sorry, I thought you knew.

[BlooInBloo]

21. Heh!

[MrCoffee]

17. dork?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


i haven't been called a dork in forever! that's awesome.

[BlooInBloo]

20. :)

[shadowknows69]

14. I seem to have that effect too

[Forkboy]

41. You do that to us too though...

:yoiks:

;)

[rucky]

6. I can't figure out if they hate or love us Jews.

they seem to take a liking to the notion, but I'm thinking there's some hidden agenda there.

[NMMNG]

8. They only want you to die so the rapture can happen.

:shrug:

[rucky]

29. Do they get a toaster if they save us? n/t

[BlooInBloo]

22. Yah, you can. Try to date one of their daughters. It'll become very clear.

[rucky]

32. I married one of their daughters.

Every night, they pray that I'll accept the lord Jesus Christ. They're actually not too obnoxious about it anymore - just sneak it into conversation here and there. I credit Joel Osteen for their softer approach.

I'm still going to hell, tho.

[BlooInBloo]

33. You married a shiksa?? Naughty, naughty!

:rofl:

[rucky]

35. Bubbie always told me...

Shiksas are for practice.

[BlooInBloo]

38. That's what I had understood half-joking-CW to be. lol!

[pink-o]

40. They're in huge conflict, actually...

...according to their rapture requisite, we're all supposed to take back the holy sites of Israel, then Jesus comes back and we all go to hell with the rest of the heathens. But till then, they hafta hold their noses and deal with us so that Zionism can continue.

But they'll always hate us for crucifying that Jew Messiah of theirs. Dang, no wonder the fundies are so fucked up! Between all that spiritual conflict and sexual repression, my head would explode!

(PS...ethnically and culturally Jewish here, but I'm a complete agnostic who believes in science, evolution and fervently hopes humans learn to use their awesome brain power to take us into a beautiful future.)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

59. They like you in a way you don't want to be liked. -nt

[NMMNG]

7. Gay, liberal, atheist, vegetarian woman who has taken BC pills

(though not for birth control). I'm quite a good enemy of the RRR I'd say. :evilgrin:

[LeftyMom]

24. this poll immediately made me think of you.

:hi:

[NMMNG]

30. Shucks, I feel so honored

:rofl:

[hyphenate]

62. Yeah

With that many variables on your side! :rofl:

[NMMNG]

78. And I got a -54

on the "how Christian are you" test. That's really good I think. :evilgrin:

11. Darn it - skipped over liberal - I am one of those things after all.

I am experimenting with vegetarian cooking more, too, but not actually a vegetarian.

85. Scientific inquiry... You wouldn't happen to

Weigh the same as a duck?

[Systematic Chaos]

16. Just having a liberal mindset and some critical thinking skills is enough.

It's like saying being liberal and having critical thinking skills is like getting 20 inches of rain in one day, and all that other stuff is like getting 25 inches. It just ceases to matter. :)

[lumberjack_jeff]

18. I think the "worst enemy" of the religious right are traditionally progressive Christians.

Lesbian vegan atheist scientists are to the fundy leadership as Bin Laden is to George Bush. A caricature to rally the faithful.

[ceile]

23. I'm 4 of them. hehehehe n/t

[mitchum]

25. I am only two of those (and that's why I have to try so much harder)

[BlooInBloo]

26. And a scientist.

[BlooInBloo]

28. And you *do* realize that summa is higher than magna, right?

[hyphenate]

47. Oh well!

I wasn't either of them! :rofl:

[Cha]

27. I'm their worst nightmare..

someone who is a free thinker(bugaboo bugaboo!) and doesn't want any dogma in her life.

And I think they are the worst hypocritical scum of the Earth..taking a great person like Jesus and using him for their own twisted, murderous, DOGMA.

[BlooInBloo]

31. Silent vote for MadSpirit - she woulda been high up in this poll, I believe.

[blondeatlast]

36. I kinda think separitist Christians get under their skin as well--and

that would put me at 5--but why quibble.

Doing my best to piss of the RRR--Radical Religious Right.

[BlackVelvet04]

37. The religious right's worst

enemy is those Christians who have seen them for what they are and are exposing them for what they are.

The others are irritations and rallying points, not enemies.

[Occulus]

58. What you just described is pathetically rare, to the point of being feeble.

There are very few "good christians".

As Ghandi said once, I like your christ, but I do not like your christians; they are so unlike your christ.

Spelling. IS. Correct.

[BlackVelvet04]

65. More and more Christians are

speaking up and even books are being written exposing the right wing fundamentalists as nuts.

[kenny blankenship]

39. I'm not their worst enemy. GOD is their worst enemy...

that's why he made them stupid, mean, and physically undesirable.

[11 Bravo]

42. Straight, meat-eating, liberal, college grad, Christian, white guy ...

who firmly believes that the Moral Majority is neither, and that the Christian right should concentrate on just being Christian, and quit trying to hi-jack my religion for the purpose of forcing it down others' throats, all the while embracing a political agenda that would make Christ recoil in horror. And if they don't believe in abortion, THEN DON'T FUCKING HAVE ONE! If they don't believe in gay marriage, THEN DON'T FUCKING ENTER INTO ONE! If they don't like pornography, THEN DON'T FUCKING BUY IT!
Get on with your lives and leave the rest of us alone.

[BlooInBloo]

44. Hi, Devil!

:rofl:

Totally kidding, of course. I'm not christian, but am otherwise the same. I do smoke though - which is much worse from a DUer's perspective.

[Colorado Progressive]

76. I love you. :-)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. i am 7 but i am also of foreign nationality/immigrant. so there!

[EFerrari]

45. Hey, I'm seven for eight!

lol

[LanternWaste]

46. I think I am... because I'm a Christian.

I think I am... because I'm a Christian.

[Critters2]

50. I'm a liberal Christian

Believe me, we're their worst nightmare. Or at least their greatest source of confusion.

[B Calm]

51. The religious right are their own worst enemy! What they fear

is all in their own head.

[MedleyMisty]

52. Liberal atheist woman here

Can I get credit for the magna cum laude even if I don't have a four year degree? I can dig up my SAT score from 7th grade, pre-early to mid 90s recentering, if you want.

I don't take birth control pills because they're rather expensive, but I use other methods and I've been married five years and don't have kids, so can I qualify for that too? Ooh, and we don't wear rings and I didn't take my husband's last name and we got married in normal clothes in my car in a drive-thru chapel in Pigeon Forge. That's gotta count, right?

[cynatnite]

54. Same here and I've had an abortion n/t

[WritingIsMyReligion]

57. You didn't take your husband's last name?

Shit, you're going straight to hell.


Congrats! :thumbsup:

[hyphenate]

64. Sure!

I'll put you into a room with Donny and Marie (or Pat Robertson, or....:)) and I'll check every half hour to see how long it takes for each of them to shoot themselves. We'll judge the criteria under that test! :rofl:

[Colorado Progressive]

74. I grant you magna cum laude Ha!

[Nobody]

89. Liberal atheist woman here, too. Can I get credit for

the abortion?

I have never gotten pregnant, but I volunteer as a clinic escort. That's where I'm headed this morning.

Your wedding ceremony sounds sane. I cringe every time people piss and moan about other people not providing free unlimited alcohol (which means the cost of the wedding tops 10K. Ugh!)

I knew I would never change my last name when I was eight, and if I had kids, I'd insist that the girls get my last name while the boys can take his. All this at age 8. Seemed logical to me then and still does. When asked by my parents what I'd do if future hubby wanted all family members to have the same last name, my 8-year-old self said that if it meant so much to him, he could take my name. Parents were horrified. I just laughed. Of course at age 8, boys were icky and me and a friend wondered why two girls couldn't wed. This was back in the 70s.

I still think two women (or two men) should be able to marry each other if they want. I still think my idea with names is the logical and equitable way to go. Both names are kept and have a chance of being passed on.

That's got to be worth something.

[Initech]

53. I am intelligent and think for myself. Their worst nightmare.

[Flabbergasted]

55. I suck I'm only a liberal. -tear-

[Tian Zhuangzhuang]

68. same here the poll is clearly sexist.

:)

[Iris]

88. yeah -there should be a cateogory for heathen women who are childless by choice.

And without even having an abortion!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

56. I'm an unknown, omnivorous, liberal, magna cum laude atheist white woman yet to be impregnated and

not yet on BC.

Only three. Drat!

[The Vinyl Ripper]

61. They are their own worst enemies.

They will inevitably lose almost all of their most intelligent children and will become more and more dull and uninformed.

Most fundies have never even read one entire book of the Bible, let alone the whole thing.

And the book they *have* read is in the Old Testament.

[Chovexani]

63. I got ya beat

I'm a Gothic, Pagan, Bisexual Black/Creek/Roma woman who takes BC pills and was a clinic escort.

AND I'M A MAC USER. :o

[Withywindle]

67. YOU WIN!

Something to do with Eve, snakes, and Apples. Especially rainbow-patterned Apple logos. :D

[kineneb]

69. scored on 3

straight, omniverous, liberal, graduated with honors, Buddhist (yes, I know I should be a vegetarian), "white" female, used the Pill, no kids. Independent thinker, cranky.

[and-justice-for-all]

70. I am a Gay, Vegan, Liberal, ATHEIST..

and I wish there was a hell for the Religious-Reich sheeple to go to!

[Momgonepostal]

71. I just got 3...liberal, woman who has taken bc pills, but...

I'm also an active Mormon, and most Evangelicals don't like that either, so that's got to be worth something.

[Colorado Progressive]

72. well you had to be all radical and put vegan instead of vegetarian! nt

[TheUniverse]

75. 2/7

gay - sorry, not gay


vegan - I guess I feel kind of guilty eating meat, but I dont have the motivation to do so.

liberal - When I look at my positions, I dont just take what is the "liberal" postion, I try to find ou what is the best solution. But on most issues, I find the liberal position is the best, so I guess you could call me a liberal.


magna cum laude - still in college, but I give myself about a 50/50 chance of getting Magna cum laude on graduation


atheist - Yep, and I hate religion.

minority - I guess if you cant atheist as a minority Im one, but I certain this isn't what this referring to.

woman who has had an abortion and takes birth control pills - sorry, i got a penis

[Warren DeMontague]

77. Anyone with a functional brain is the worst enemy of those pinheads.

I don't think it has anything to do with gender, diet, race, or even (lack of) religion.

For the record, I'm an occasional meat-eating, white, nominally atheist* male who believes in evolution, science, skepticism, and enjoys sex.

And I have one of these on my door:



That seems to be plenty enough to piss 'em off.

* I categorize myself as an atheist in terms of the political debate in this country. I think labels, particularly when it comes to metaphysics, are inherently self-limiting. For one, not too many people seem to be able to agree on what the word "God" means, so how do I know what, precisely, I'm NOT believing in? I don't believe in anything resembling the "God" of the big Western Monotheisms, that's for sure. I also identify as Buddhist, Taoist, Discordian, and as a Philosophical Free Agent.

[porphyrian]

82. They are their own worst enemy.

Without any of us, their own doctrine creates their enemies from within their ranks.

[amb123]

84. Does being a minister in the Church of the SubGenius count?

Praise "Bob"! Hail Connie! F**k 'em if they can't take a joke!

Church of the Subgenius

[hyphenate]

86. A follower of Bob!

OMG, a friend and I used to laugh hysterically about the subgenious! My friend still enjoys a chuckle about it now and then. Of course, this was circa 1984 when we used to have a good time of it. We picked up the literature at an SF convention, probably one of the ones in Boston.

[Guaranteed]

87. Just a liberal. nt

[Nobody]

90. Wouldn't Jesus be their worst emeny?

Having read the bible cover to cover, both Old and New Testaments (did not read Book of Mormon, so I can't comment on that), I propose that the religious right of the most frothing at the mouth kind fear Jesus' ideals more than anything. Look at what they support and what they vote for.

Read the New Testament and you will find:

Jesus saying that a camel will pass through the eye of a needle before a rich man enters heaven. Oh dear, you mean we can't just BUY our way in? How will we keep the riff raff out?

Jesus overturning moneychangers in the temple. Wait a minute? Can he DO that? What about free trade? You mean I can't tell you to donate money to Republicans? Wait a minute, isn't Rome a republic? And that makes the Romans REPUBLICANS!

Jesus befriending the outcasts. Not only a Samaritan, but a woman, and he told her to go tell everyone else, in other words, Preach it, sister! But didn't Paul tell Timothy that women are to keep silent? Well, yeah, that was Paul writing a letter to Timothy. Remember Jesus broke all the rules. Not very Lawful of him, even though that rule came long after this little incident.

Jesus holding up outcasts as the people to emulate. (Good Samaritan, anyone?) What if they're terrorists, oh heavens!

Jesus bucking authority (pharasees and the Roman soldiers). Dear me, we can't have that!

Jesus healing people for free. Oh my goodness, a FREE health care plan for the riff raff. How can we stop him?

Jesus and the crowd of 5000+ when all of them shared the inadequate supply of loaves and fishes. I imagine that when food started being offered, it multiplied via other people chipping in what they had. Oh horrors! SHARING! How socialist of them!

See a pattern here? Thus, I put it to you that of all the historical/fictional/currently alive people in history books, novels, and real life, the scariest of all is the one they claim to worship. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

[Beerboy]

91. I'm an enemy of no one. Those you

pigeon-hole might see hostility from you when you least intended it. Are you the worst Enemy of the Muslim Brotherhood and Islam?
If not, why not?
