About This Quiz
Can you honestly say you're more like God or Satan today? This quiz might help you search for your way!
It's the 21st century, and we're making progress in leaps and bounds. Regarding technology, we're now witnessing science fiction become science fact. Academic breakthroughs also happen every now and then. Research and development pave the way for advancements in many fields. But what about spirituality and religiosity?
Now those two things are different in nature. When we say spirituality, we refer to how something affects our souls. On the other hand, religiosity is connected to how we practice institutional belief systems. Ideally, these two concepts should go hand in hand in our daily practice. But it seems harder to pull this off these days. Why is that?
Religious leaders say we're in an era full of distractions. Material things take over our lives. We forget how to feel and connect with each other. Emotional growth takes a back seat when ambition drives our lives.
How about you? Does this sound familiar? Have you been encountering these thoughts, feelings or concepts in your life? No judgments here, OK? Let's just pause and reflect on how we are now. Let this lighthearted quiz remind you of things long forgotten. Let this be a reminder, too, of what needs to happen more. After all, it's always your call.
Do you feel like creating something out of your own image and likeness?
I suppose so. I'm an artist in that sense.
No way! I should be the only beautiful creature around, everywhere!
It depends. What do I get out of it if I do or if I don't?
Not sure if that's such a good idea or not ...
Greed: A credible life creed or only for the bad seeds?
Bad seeds definitely. They need weeding out!
Greed is my creed, yo. Woot woot!
Let me see the cost-benefit analysis results of that first, OK?
Hmm, never gave that much thought.
Are you a firm believer in the concept of "basic human kindness?"
Of course! We're all good at the core, I think.
No one does a good thing without expecting something in return, dude. Trust me on this.
Sure, people can be that. When they're not being bad, I suppose.
Is it truly basic? Or is it banal?

"Go forth and multiply!" Is this still a good motto today?
It was sound advice in the olden times. It might need rethinking during modern times.
Why not? The more people to tempt, the better! Go, go, go!
Some say it's OK, but some say it's not. Whichever!
Ugh, leave me alone, you multitude!
Someone hurt you! Will you "turn the other cheek" or hit back?
Turn the other cheek. I'll try to understand and calm the person down, even help if they're having problems.
Hey, an eye for an eye!
I'll let it slide if it's not too much damage. But I'll call the cops if it is!
Can I just run away from this one?
Lust: Love it or leave it?
Desire of any kind shouldn't go overboard.
Love, love, love it, baby!
What good will this do, either way? Explain, please.
I'm an amoeba. Leave me alone.

When you're good, you're truly good; like you'll part a sea to let your team pass by. Does this sound like you?
I'll make the necessary sacrifices for the greater good.
No way! Abandon ship, fools!
I can bend a little, but only if there's a handsome payback for it later.
Not much of a team person. I'm a loner.
Are you always playing the devil's advocate in any conversation or situation?
I don't see the point of doing that, so no.
That's like my hobby, man!
I can if there's a need for it. Depends on the situation.
Nah, too tiring
"Love makes the world go round," they say. Do you believe that?
For sure! It's always the answer to all problems.
Hey, don't hate the haters! Hate's the way!
Only if I'm on top of the world, I guess.
Ugh, such a cliché!

Wrath: Embrace it or eschew it?
We should learn how to temper our tempers.
Embrace! That's my middle name, you know!
If it's not too tiring an exercise, I can entertain it from time to time.
Hey, just don't get me involved, all right?
If you feel like being bad, you will be bad; like you'll flood the earth to start on a clean slate. Agree or disagree?
Whatever's needed for the common good, yes. Necessary sacrifices.
No such thing as clean! Dirty it up some more!
I'll have to weigh in more. Give me more details.
I don't feel like anything most times ...
Do you believe in karmic retribution?
Yes. Do good, you receive good. Do bad, and you'll know what's coming.
Ha-ha-ha! Karma is only for those who have a conscience!
That depends. How do you define retribution in a karmic sense?
I believe in not doing anything regardless of karma.

Pride: Support it or shun it?
To be proud of an achievement or honor is a good thing. To be excessive in your pride is not so good anymore.
Support! Always brag about everything you do.
Depends. What's the context first?
Haven't decided.
"The end justifies the means." Do you subscribe to that belief?
Not if the means are pure evil. No good will come out because of that.
Whatever it takes, you know, whatever it takes. If you need to be mean, then be mean!
I'll have to see first about that end thing. Will that help me in any way?
Sounds complicated. Not too sure about it.
Was Belinda Carlisle right in singing "Heaven is a Place on Earth?"
It's appropriate. Heaven is where goodness and love reside and thrive.
It's hell. It's always hell!
Earth can be hell, too, you know. So I don't know. Depends on the season or that time in your financial calendar.
Who's Belinda Carlisle?

Envy: A concept that's ideally rock-steady or just negatively heavy?
Always heavy and always negative. Stay away from it.
Believe in it! Envy is a good motivational factor in life.
I'm not clear about this. Do they envy me or is it me envying them?
I don't really like taking a closer look at other people's lives or taking a look at other people, period.
Can you tolerate people who commit crimes?
Crime is never a good thing, no matter what the reason.
I can understand that urge, you know.
Well, just don't commit the crime against me. Not yet sure about the rest ...
Ugh, I don't like people in general these days ...
To communicate, do you use fantastic tools or the usual devices?
Writing on tablets is a good exercise, stone age-wise or digital age-wise.
Whatever it takes to spread the negative vibe, you know, whatever it takes.
Whatever works at the moment is fine.
Too much effort. Disconnect! Disconnect!

Graft and corruption: Are these the fundamental tools of running a government?
Never. Political will and good governance should always prevail.
That's like straight out of my playbook!
You'll have to define and give concrete examples of each first before I decide.
Can I not deal with any kind of government for now?
"Love your neighbor as you love your self." Does this sound right to you?
Absolutely perfect!
Are you kidding with this? Such a fallacy.
I'll only give the kind of love I receive, you know. So this remains to be seen.
Ugh, I don't like dealing with neighbors ...
Schadenfreude! Do you find "happiness at the misfortune of others?"
That's such a nasty thing to do. Always try to understand others before judging them.
Ha-ha-ha! My favorite hobby. Pass the popcorn!
Only if their misfortune won't cause me a fortune, you know what I'm saying?
I don't like dealing with other people of any kind.

Do you know how to reward people loyal to you?
Yes. Great deeds produce great benefits.
I apply "The Godfather" mantra here. "I'll make them an offer they can't refuse."
Only if the reward won't cost me much
I don't like dealing with people in general, you know.
Will you go out of your way to help a stranger in need?
Sure. Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time. It can change lives.
Hm, that's a good way for someone to get indebted to me. Then I can ask for "payback" later, he he.
Um, what's in it for me?
I don't talk to strangers, sorry.
Corporal punishment: Is it effective or not?
Understanding and patience work better than this.
I appreciate such concepts.
If given the proper context, maybe? Depends on what's happening, I think.
It sounds tiring; that's for sure.

Will you send your own child to save wayward people?
If that's what it takes to help more people, then so be it.
Maybe I'll send my child to be as wayward as these people!
Depends on the situation. I'll have to see what my child will get out of that endeavor first.
Wayward or not, I don't really like people much.
No matter how much someone hurt you, will you forgive easily if they show they're truly sorry?
Of course. Everyone deserves a second chance at redemption.
Forgiveness is not my cup of tea.
Can they be really sorry? I must think about this first.
I generally stay away from people, so I don't think they'll hurt me that way.
Do you watch shows like "How to Get Away With Murder" to, um, "take notes"?
I take note of how people in desperate situations help each other. I appreciate those story angles better.
It's like I wrote this show! Great ideas there.
Yeah, maybe. Which notes, I won't tell, though.
I prefer watching movies more.

Can you be friends with a glutton or a sloth?
Such deadly sins. I believe people need to be moderate about their habits and wants.
Brother and sister from another father and mother!
I'll have to assess the extent of their states first.
I'm not big on friends, sorry.
If you've got immense power to change things, how will you use it?
I'll eradicate poverty, redistribute wealth for equality, and save the environment to take care of mother nature more.
Change everything to my own advantage! Hey, what are those powers for if I won't get their full benefit, right?
Maybe I'll help myself to some good stuff then I'll also help others later; we'll see.
I think I'll build a fortress of solitude or something like that.
Zeal or zealot: Are you big on recruiting people to believe in your cause?
Good and beneficial causes are always worthy of advocating on any scale. The more people can help improve lives, the better.
Bah, got no patience to deal with people who won't see things my way.
If I can maximize this recruitment process to benefit me in a grand way, too, then why not?
I'll just do my part on my own, I guess. I don't like dealing with too many people.
