Subtract out the supernatural and all that remains is reality.
That brings to mind a line from God On Trial, which I had the pleasure of subtitling not long ago:
"Do you know what a god who’s not personal is? It’s weather. That’s all, just weather."
As for the quiz, of course the questions are ridiculous. They're meant to highlight the absurdities and contradictions in the xtian mythology and in the believers who tie themselves in knots trying to accomodate them. Since I don't have to do such a thing I count myself as one of those who have no problem with the questions.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
