Are You a Good Person?
Click here to find out! --> http://www.candacecameronbure.net/goodpersontest/
Funny story actually, my friends and I were googling people from our favorite 90's sitcom, Full House, on a random Wednesday Night. We got to DJ, the oldest daughther in the Tanner Family, who was played by Candace Cameron. We looked her up, and found that she has grown a lot, and become a lot more religious. Intrigued, I opened her webpage, to find a picture of her family, a story of her journey with Jesus, and a flashing box asking me "Are you a good person? Click here to find out!!" I clicked, and my friends and I playfully began the short quiz. It turns out that the quiz asks you to say if you have or haven't broken any of God's ten commandments. Not only that, but it says that if you have broken any, you are going straight to hell. The following comments and many similar to these are scatterd throughout the quiz:
Who is God to you? Is he only a god of love and mercy who would never judge anyone and never cast anyone into Hell? If that's your god, then you're right. Your god couldn't cast anyone into Hell because he doesn't exist. He's a figment of your imagination.
Have you always honored your parents in a way that's pleasing in the sight of God? Ask Him to remind you of the sins of your youth. You may have forgotten them, but God hasn't.
Have you ever looked at another person with lust?
If you have told even one lie, that makes you a liar. The Bible warns that all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire.
What non-religious person would ever read these things and say, "Yeah! Christianity sounds awesome, you can barely breathe without breaking a rule and going directly to Hades!" Evangelism has never really appealed to me, because of this thought that everyone should fear God. The people that stand on street corners and intimidate people into believing and judge those that do not are no more Christian than the ones they are "saving." I do not like forcing ideas on others; I do not think it creates much of a lasting effect. When we finished this quiz, we laughed it off and joked about it. It is not going to change the way I practice religion, and to my knowledge , it hasn't changed any of my friends' views either.
