Cool quiz.

1. Aquinas (100%)
2. St. Augustine (76%)
3. Aristotle (73%)

Aristotle has been my hero up to now. Gotta read up on these other 2 dudes.

I'm sure you'll like them.

100% Aquinas - tell me something I didn't know - so I guess the quiz is accurate.

Can anyone explain this philosophy in a manner that a fifth grader can understand

[/ QUOTE ]God doesn't exist - all is permitted.

[/ QUOTE ]

"God doesn't exist" is there, "all is permitted" is there too in some sense, but saying that this is existentialism, is like saying 2=5 instead of 2+3=5.

That doesn't mean he asked for the "Fundamentalist Christian for Dummies" skewed version.

This is what I get when I don't check any boxes and just press "Show my results." Maybe you should try a different browser.

Yes I know. Well maybe there's no sense in explaining existentialism to a 5th grader, so there's no such possible version. But I replied because I thought that your explanation was something like saying: "god exists. all is forbidden" to someone asking what is christianity, which is funny, but doesn't really answer even a 3 years old kid's question.
