Any reasonable judge, given the above, would recuse him/herself.

True, but the Christian god was proto-Scalia, so.... *shrug*

Maybe he's right. Or at least about me. I took this quiz about the bible, and got a 0 on it. =/

I too got a zero. That quiz is brilliant!
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

And any reasonable judicial system would give the accused party some recourse or appeal to deal with such a heavy, obvious bias.

Yes, but a carnival game with a point (and no meth-addicted carnival barker grinning at you with both teeth). You may not win the large stuffed animal, but you might get a Christian to reflect on their "inerrant word of God".

That script just determines if you made a selection or not. That's to give the pop up warning that states "You must make a selection"

I stopped at question number two. This test seems designed to point out the contradictions in the Bible. We learned in Sunday school that Simon carried Jesus' cross, but this test points to a verse that contradicts that. Couldn't have done a better job myself.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
