how to tell if you’re a bad christian
I really must give credit where credit is due here. Just Pat and Headless in their comments got the ole’ wheels turning on this one. Many of you have asked, “Brandon, why are you a bad Christian?” or “Why do others think you’re a bad Christian?” Most though are really curious about one thing, “Am I a bad Christian?” Well, our friends down at Worldview Weekend have taken the guess work out of making that determination. Best of all, IT’S FREE!!!
So go ahead, take the bad Christian litmus test right here. But BEFORE YOU DO THAT PLEASE READ THIS POST!!! You’ll be given a number of questions, most of them ridiculous. At the end you’ll be given a read out of your scores. According to Worldview Weekend–AKA the white Christian Male powergroup brigade–you’ll be placed in groups from Strong Biblical Worldview all the way down to Commie bastard.
For all intents and purposes you should ignore these titles, save for one purpose: remember the name of what you’ve been classified as so you can find out if you’re a bad Christian or not.
Here’s what it takes to be a bad Christian:
1. You must be a Christian. I’m not going to tie all sorts of strings to that. You know if you are or aren’t, it’s not rocket science.
Then, find your ranking below.
1. Strong Biblical Worldview - Sorry, Charlie. No bad Christian badge for you.
2. Moderate Biblical Worldview - Nope not quite good…er…bad enough.
3. Secular Humanist Worldview - Congratulations! You’re a bad Christian!
4. Socialist Worldview - Angels rejoice in heaven! Another bad Christian has found their way home!
5. Communist / Marxist Worldview - The badder the better, welcome to the crowd! Another bad Christian.
See, it’s easy really. A simple test, crappily written though it may be, can tell you what you’ve long suspected.
Now, the fun part. To unite. If you’ve taken the test and would like to officially bear the badge “bad Christian” all you need to do is send a simple email to badchristian@badchristian.com. Include your first name (only), and your blog title (or website) (and URL) if you have one, mainly because I really like to meet some of those who have passed the bad Christian litmus test and happily bear the bad Christian badge!
Keep an eye out for the link on the right, it should be coming soon!
His badness,
Brandon
UPDATE - If you’ve read this post, or taken the test, please do me the favor of reading “Why badchristian.com is called badchristian.com.” Then, if you still feel the need to comment about how bad this site is, you may do so, but at least be educated about it.

Whew. I got 27 points — which makes me a “secular humanist” too.
Even on the rare occasions when I wanted to agree with the “right” answer, it was usually prefaced by some weird non-sequitur that made it impossible to give that answer: (”Because Stalin is evil, God is triune”).
The scary thing is that this test is the basis for a curriculum being used by home-schoolers to indoctrinate small children into this nonsense. If Mark 9:42 is true, these guys are in big trouble:”And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.”

A very non objective test! I have to say, I was a little big scared. How is it that someone thinks they can TEACH someone a worldview? Here’s the worldview YOU should have if you’re a christian. Otherwise you’re a commie.
yikes.
Wow said,

no wait - I meant to say very OBJECTIVE!
I was thinking of ‘abstract’ art… sorry.
Brandon said,

WOW, I think you were right the first time. I think the test is actually non-objective or subjective.

I just took that test and was scared. But the results came back just as I thought…I’m bad..not as bad as I thought. I know that some questions I was utterly against but my morals told me otherwise. Wierd. I will have to thank the person that I led me here.
Bob said,
October 3, 2004 at 9:44 pm
It IS subjective. If you are a Christian AND you read the Bible AND you take the Bible as God’s word AND you seek to apply that word. If you think you did poorly maybe that suggests that you need to read your Bible more? Maybe Barna is right.
Brandon said,

Adam said,
October 15, 2004 at 12:06 pm
-15, What the hell kind of test lets you score lower than a Zero! I also don’t understand why you get a -2 for every question you don’t have an opinion about. I guess we’re supposed to have this all figured out by the age of accountability, which according to this test just happens to also be the age of conception.
Mainsheet said,
October 15, 2004 at 7:09 pm
Adam,
There are test scoring systems that (legitimately) can result in negative scores. Generally speaking, though, such systems don’t impose a penalty for failing to answer a question. Basically, you impose a penalty for guessing — thus, on a T/F question, you give +1 for the right answer, and -1/2 for the wrong answer, 0 for no answer.
It would be interesting to see how the test’s developers came around to their scoring system. Because it’s based on a simple total, I doubt that anything that approximated real research on the bogie-people they’re demonizing was involved.
My preferred scoring system asks test-takers about their certainty. If they’re more certain, right answers get more points and wrong answers get more deducted. If they’re less certain, the rewards and penalties decrease. I came up with that mechanism after remembering something my grandad liked to say — “The problem is less often what you don’t know than what you know that isn’t so.” It is important not only to know stuff, but to know that you know that stuff.

Yeah I managed to score a -4 or that test as well. I have to agree that the questions were strangely prefaced. Questions similar to “The bible states clearly that christians should be opposed to cloning.” I must have skipped that verse.
Thel said,
December 1, 2004 at 1:47 pm
Aw, my 1% “Socialist Worldview Thinker” score didn’t quite get me to the Communist gold mine!
Whew, that’s a crazy test. I love how they give you one idea, then redefine it in a second clause. Like, “One of the greatest virtues one can posses is the virtue of tolerance.” Okay, I agree with that. But they aren’t done!–”namely, we accept everyone’s lifestyles as equal.” Wait a minute, that sounds like a deliberate distortion of the meaning of tolerance to me! Why, it’s almost like they don’t actually have any idea what I and my fellow Socialist Thinkers mean when we advocate tolerance.
I randomly clicked over here from “Body and Soul.” I’ll be back, too. Thanks!

I scored a -44% which makes me a true Commie. Oh and don’t bad-mouth all homeschoolers. I homeschooled my kids and didn’t teach them any of this biblical based nonsense. The original homeschoolers were anarchists and leftists. The religious nuts just joined in later and now everyone thinks we are all crazy. I have a daughter who is studying for her PHD in Evolutionary Biology. That ain’t Biblical.

Well,
It looks like I have definitely passed the Bad Christian “test”, because I definitely am an oldschool Gnostic Christian and back in the 70’s, before I was politely asked to “leave” “the movement”, I was a national figure in the American Humanist Association, being a charter member of the state chapter Humanists Of North Carolina, being the first editor of their newsletter, and being named one of the original fifty “Humanist Advocates”, an endorsement which BTW to this day have never been officially revoked, my deeply held Christian views which got I was unapologetic for which got me kicked out of AHA aside, yeah, because I believe the word of Christ is for humans and we should live by The Golden Rule minute-by-minute or at least try to, yeah, I am a vvverrryyy Bad Christian, GRIN!, Yours, “Kent”, H.

Screw a test. I’m a Christian. If you wanna argue, bring it on. I am TAKING MY BAD CHRISTIAN BUTTON AND T SHIRT and going back to my weblog now.
If anyone wants to try and take them back from me, you’re welcome over at my blog, where I’ll be holed up with my 12 gauge and my Bible and my faith.

This is an interesting discussion. I found this site because I gooled Anne Robare after having received one of her wack job emails the other day.
I found it interesting. I am a pastor, but have always been described as “edgy.” I drink, smoke, swear, and play poker with a bunch of my other “edgy” pastor friends. So I thought that I might be a “Bad Christian.” I would also agree that the White Christian Male power group, or how ever they were described, can be a bunch of pompous hypocrites and I was surprised when I scored a 135 making me a “Strong Biblical Worldview Thinker.”
What makes me sad about the dialog on this page is the focused on being better then the pompous white power group, and therefore taking pride that your worldview is in line with the Socialist, Communists, and Secular humanist. What the hell!
Regardless of the integrity of the Worldview Weekend Biblical World view test, where is yours?
So the question then is not what makes you a “Bad Christian” rather what makes you a GOOD Christian?
Jesus was edgy, counter cultural, and deemed a heretic by the “religious leaders.” He broke the Law, worked on the Sabbath, and claimed to be God’s son; He was a bad Jew! But Jesus was focused on being the light of his father. His focus was not on being a “bad Jew” but being a friend to sinners, the light of the world, and being the new convent and the Messiah.
The way to change the Pharisees is not with a heart of rebellion, but with the heart of a servant.
The truly “Bad Christian” is one who fights for the cause of Christ!

I’ve known for at least five years that I was a bad Christian, and now it’s official. My score of “7″ makes me a “Socialist Worldview Thinker.” To answer A Friend of Sinners, the reason why I’m proud of this designation is not because this test makes me a bona fide socialist (I’m not sure exactly what that might mean in the current American economy), but because I feel justified that this ultra-conservative Republicn-worshipping outfit doesn’t feel like I belong to their own skewed view of what is the “correct Christian worldview.” I should note that I scored highest on the religion section, where I would expect the most agreement, even with people who have a messed-up, imho, view of Christianity, and scored the lowest in areas of civil government and science (and family, but I don’t count that category as being at all based in any kind of realtiy because it ties family to the fact that W is president), where the fundies are most lacking.
Shawn said,
December 16, 2004 at 5:26 pm
Here’s a neat trick: I’m Jewish and rather more orthodox than orthoprax. Depending on your point of view I am either ineligible for “bad Christian” or I’ve won the category hands-down.
The first time I took the test, I got 16%; the second time (eliminating the no-opinion answers), 40%. Apparently I’m “strongly Biblical” on social issues (even the first time around) and “moderately Biblical” on the civil government section.
Hmm…

Mighty Quinn said,
February 1, 2005 at 10:44 pm
Really-concerned, you and Friend of Sinners raise interesting points, but I think they’re off the mark. Not to claim to speak for anyone else, but I think what you perceive as joy about rating as “bad” Christians on some a dubious test is a reaction to life as a Christian in a post-11/2 world, and the joy of finding other Christians who are convicted that there is more to following Christ than being pro-Bush, anti-gay, and anti-abortion. When a group of fundamentalists choose to put Christ in a box and exclude those who think differently by labeling them “Socialist” and “Communist,” there is natural solidarity between those excluded because they have experienced God in a different way.
For the record, I scored a 34, and am happy to join the league of “Bad Christians” here. I don’t truly believe that I am a bad Christian, nor do I think anyone who honestly confesses Christ to be a bad Christian. But when a group of purported Christians gets together and decides that I’d have a more “Biblical worldview” if I believed in a flat tax, I’ll stand with the outsiders.
Peace.

I’m not a bad christian because I don’t meet requirement #1, so the best I can hope for is to be a former bad christian.
After taking the time, it looks like I’m a mess . . . Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker–that’s quite a lot of philosophies rattling around in my head. My score was -3–probably could have been a bit worse if I hadn’t left no opinion on a few that would have tended away from their preferred answers.

Hi-
I found your site I was trying to learn about the world of blogging. I took the test because I was intreagued. When I took the test I was releived to find that I am a “Strong Biblical Worldview thinker”. I have come to my “Worldview” from my own convictions and my own free will, and not from the indoctrination of my past.
I can almost accept the premise of this site, though I can’t go the full way. I like the comment from Mighty Quinn “…the joy of finding other Christians who are convicted that there is more to following Christ than being pro-Bush, anti-gay, and anti-abortion. When a group of fundamentalists choose to put Christ in a box and exclude those who think differently by labeling them “Socialist” and “Communist,” there is natural solidarity between those excluded because they have experienced God in a different way.” I guess my agreement stops there. I need to reword his comments as follows: “When a group of fundamentalists choose to put Christ in a box and exclude those who think differently by labeling them “Charismatic” and “Methodists, etc.” This is my personal struggle.
If this does not label me in your box of “badchristian” then oh well, I’ll keep looking
God Bless

How does one strongly agree, tend to agree, tend to disagree, or strongly disagree with the statement: “George W. Bush is the President of the United States of America”? Now if the question was whether he should be, I think I could come up with a fairly strong response but as far as objective facts go, True/False would do the trick, wouldn’t it? Anywho, just speaking as one Secular Humanist to what appears to be plenty of others.

Wow. I managed -35 points, even though I am a very devout Episcopalian, and I tend to endorse biblical virtues (like Pacifism, helping the poor and all that good socialist stuff). I just answered with “No Opinion” about a million times, since so many of those questions deserved to be answered with a freaking ESSAY. I dont think these ppl understand liberals and oversimplify our values to make it seem like if you answer with anything but their ideas of truth, it somehow makes you an idiot. So I decided just not to touch those questions with a ten foot pole, and look where it got me.

I took the test and scored a 74. I don’t think it judges you on rather if you are a bad christain just how biblical you outlook on this world is. I believe a lot of that comes from reading the bible. Listening to talk radio doesn’t hurt.
Rivikah said,
October 14, 2005 at 7:58 pm
Interesting test. Besides the total impossibility of answering some of these questions…Did anyone else notice how strange the scoring is?
Suppose the “correct” answer is Strongly agree. Then if you tend to agree you get 1/2 for the question. Tending to disagree gets you 0/2 for the question. Strongly disagreeing gets -1/2. No opinion gets you the least possible score of -2/2.
I found this extremely odd. How could anyone think that “No Opinion” is an indication of a greater difference in worldview than having an opposite opinion? I know logic isn’t the strong suit of people who make internet tests with the intention of providing a serious measurment of other people’s religious views but I’m still flaberghasted.

24. Well.
I have never seen such an obnoxious test in my whole life.
Since most of the questions were a matter of opinion based on one’s life experiences, I found it supremely amusing to be “corrected” at the end of the test.
I didn’t score in the negative, but I’m pretty sure that this test has more or less reserved my first class, one-way ticket on the bullet train to hell.
Heh.

I did this quiz last year when I applied for the infamous blogroll that graces the right side of your page. I decided, on this day roughly a year after the last time I did the “exam”, to take it again and see where I might fall. I can’t remember my last score; however, I am proud to say that I believe I will remain eligible for another year. My final score…. 3.

Interesting test. If you are a biblical Christian, and you understand the questions, you should do quite well on this test. Some of the questions are unanswerable in that they require you to make some assumptions that can’t be proven. Got an 88% or 150 out of 170. I also disagree with minus 2 points for no opinion…it’s kinda hard to have an opinion about something that is totally subjective or unknowable. Got my certificate, not that I will hang it anywhere LOL! Other questions require that you know what the Scripture really teaches. For instance, money is the root of all evil…strongly disagree. The bible doesn’t teach that money is the root of all evil….it is the LOVE of money…and that is quite different. Anyway, interesting blog, but one thing the test does do is make you realize that your world view may not be as biblically based as you once thought. Many of you have probably taken world views that seem right to you and tried to superimpose them onto the Bible, when many of those thoughts and views do NOT fit the scriptures. Oh well, I liked the test, but not issue in it can be so simply answered. So, blog on, you complainers against the test…and have fun! I neither defend it nor complain about it. I just understand it, and I understand how important it is for a Christian to have and practice a biblical world view.
Sincerely,
Don

Excuse me, “but not ALL issues in it can be so simply answered”
Sorry about that,

There is no test to see if you are a follower of the Christ! You either are or aren’t! You will know.

well I got score in the 90’s
and was named a Moderate Biblical Worldview Thinker.
it was a very interesting test and I suppose I didn’t do quite as bad as I thought since I actually think I’m a bad christian. maybe I’m a little better than I thought
