I saw a link to this site and decided to take the "godtest" and have some observations. The site claims to offer a test about God. It seems to be mostly angled to those who are depressed or thinking about suicide. What I found interesting is that once you get into it, there is only one place you can go if you want to continue.
The first question is fairly straightforward, asking "Do you believe in God?" After that, they guide you to the "message." The questions also get more specific, with only one "correct" answer. At one point, you are asked (if you have indicated a lack of belief) if you are wrong, would you want to know? A no takes you to a page that asks you why, and tries to get you to stay around on the site. A yes takes you on a journey through the idea of Christian salvation doctrine. And there is only one way to answer. If you don't choose the correct dogmatic answer, you are asked to go back, reread the question, and answer again. That's what took me aback abit.
One question quotes the scripture saying "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
The answers include a choice "I am not a sinner." I clicked there, and the site told me I had to go back and try again. And those type of questions continue. Not really a big deal, just an example of entry-level Christian indoctrination and dogma.
