RE: The 9th Commandment

Since you've already failed the "Are You A Good Lover?" and "Are You A Good Parent?" style-rag tests, here's one last desperate shot at redemption: "Are You A Good Person?" I took this Ten Commandments quiz and my scores indicate it's too late for me, but if you've lived a good life (and not THE good life), there may be time to save yourself.

Way of the Master is the ministry of Kirk Cameron, of TV's "Growing Pains" fame (clearly, this is not just another a batty, fear-based, apocalyptic manifesto--it's adorable.) So go take the test, then meet me in Hell. (Special thanks to Dave Dickerson for pointing me in the right direction.)
