My highest two were 70% Hedonism and 60% Existentialism. I guess I'm not that dedicated to any one living paradigm.

I can't complete this quiz because it comes from the assumption that the user of it is monotheistic and monotheistic views of morality. I am polytheistic so a lot of this doesn't apply to me.

I believe the word God can easily be pluralized for the purposes of this quiz.

Divine command is divine command... whether or not it comes from multiple fictional entities or just one is neither here nor there.  :D

Except no, it really can't be because there is no such thing as "divine command" for me. Just doesn't apply.

Then an answer of NO, is equally applicable.

Right, the "fictional" comment is why I don't discuss these kind of things with atheists. Why bother?

Funny, I'm not an athiest.

It doesn't really bother me, I mean.. of course if you don't want to take it becuase it doesn't cover polytheism... by all means don't take it.

I was just pointing out the folly of the fact that it's just a silly quiz that is in fact written in such a way that your answers could probably still be applicable.

I'd like to see this quiz include other philosophies as well... Like Objectivism, or Pragmatism...

Funny, if you're not an athiest then what's the deal with the "one fictional deity vs many fictional deities"  comment? Sounds pretty athiest to me. And like I said..I KNOW it's just a quiz and that I could do what you said, no big deal I was being a pain in the ass about it.
