Anyone familiar with them? I took their "Worldview Opinion Survey" online, just to see what my results would be. After all, having had a fully Christian education, I figured I'd probably score pretty well, right?
Well. They give you a numerical score that places you in one of four categories:
Biblical Theism (this is the category you're supposed to be in!)
Moderate Christian (me)
Secular Humanism
Socialism
I scored a little too close for comfort to "secular humanism". How can that be, you ask? That was my question, too! I took a close look at exactly how they scored this little quiz. It turns out that my dismal score is a result of my politics. The Nehemiah Institute thinks that my Christian worldview is crummy because
1) I believe that the Bible is NOT the foundation of civil law and should NOT be the primary source of instruction for establishing civil government in all nations.
2) I believe that individuals should be allowed to conduct life as they choose, as long as it does not interfere with the lives of others.
3) I believe that Government should rest as directly as possible on the will of the people.
Huh.

That's why so many left-wingers are scared of Christians.
Welcome to my politically liberal and religiously conservative world! Disconcerting, isn't it?
You always have to watch out to see just who is making up the definitions, don't you! I think I have heard of this group, but I can't place it at all. Maybe someday it will trickle out of the recesses of my brain...
