I don't think OkCupid gets me

After seeing the cool quizzes and tools over at OkCupid, I had to sign up. It's free, and I like taking online quizzes. I got a nice ego boost from the "Commonly Confused Words Quiz", scoring "English Genius". I really appreciated that they had a question on the appropriate use of 'hanged' or 'hung' for past tense of 'to hang'. I love the George W. Bush quote where he mixed it up (go figure)-- and anyone educated in the difference would think that he committed murder in the oval office :-)

Anyways-- I got in my email today the "Flowchart to my heart", and I must need to answer more questions or something, because anyone reading this would be VERY confused about 'Steve'.

Here are the questions it chose to include:

1. Would you date an atheist?
   
2. What best represents your opinion on same-sex relationships?
   
3. Is your duty to religion/god more important than your family?
   
4. What most closely describes what you're looking for in a relationship?
   
5. How much can intelligence turn you on?
   
6. To you is an abortion an option in the case of unwanted pregnancy?
   
7. Is contraception morally wrong?
   
8. Would you date a current drug user?
   
9. What is your greatest motivation in life so far?
   
10. How important is religion in your life?
    

Now if you read these as questions to find a date, I think you would infer that I am SUPER RELIGIOUS. I mean honestly, they ask about atheism before they as about same-sex relationships! I don't think atheism even matters if they aren't interested in BEING in a same-sex relationship! And I just can't stop giggling at the "is your duty to religion/god more important than your family"!! hahah lol... I mean its funny for 'me' regardless, but it makes me realize that there may be a lot of people that would actually answer 'yes' to this. As many probably know- I am a bit outspoken about my anti-religious beliefs, but the internet is a little skewed to talk about this more than it really comes up IRL. While I am an atheist, I am not picketing churches or meeting up with 'atheist clubs'-- I spend very little time thinking about religion during my day.

I don't think OkCupid gets me :-( ...otherwise they would be asking things like:

- "are you ok being with boring people for extended periods of time?" or
- "do you look like Mitch Hewer?" or
- "would it bother you if your partner almost spent thousands of dollars to fly to Broadway to see Harry Potter's 'rod and tackle' ?"

Instead I look like a 15 year old bible-thumpin' baptist girl who is scared of contraceptives and atheists :-)



Much Love,
Steve
