It's a near-perfect example of the false dilemma/choice fallacy type. So many of OkCupid's match questions have these kinds of deductive logic errors. Clearly they were written by flawed humans.
Well that's easy, Yes and No, I don't practice a religion and you're covered. No offense or over thinking required.
That's not an option though. I could only pick one for myself.
I get what you’re saying, but it would not bother me. I would look at it the same as the “white car dilemma.”
If you have to fill out a form that asks what color your car is, but you have a white car and you know white isn’t a color... you could
A. Freeze up. or
B. Say white and get on down the road.
Atheism is not a religion, but it’s what goes in that space.
Thanks for responding, but that's not my objection at all.
In fact, I first selected, "Yes", because it IS important that my partner is not religious, like me.
But then, I thought maybe I was supposed to select, "No, I don't practice a religion", because I'm not religious. But that seems wrong, because yes, my partner's religious status is important to me.
No option here seems remotely correct to me.
@fundy-apostate
Yeah, like multiple choice questions often do, they didn’t cover all the possibilities well.
seems like apples and oranges to me.
Can you say more? What seems like apples and oranges?
@fundy-apostate let me simply say that seems they could have asked a better question or provided a better answer. but racism and Drugism is not Catholicism is it?
@hankster They are all dealbreakers for me in a potential partner.
@fundy-apostate best of luck. It's Tricky out there.
Or a question asking,
Is it important to you that your partner is racist in the same way as you?
Imagine a question asking,
Is it important to you that your partner shoots up the same drugs as you?
There are ones similar to that.
You should sign up.
More fun than a barrel of monkeys.
@moosepucky this raises an importaint question: just how much fun is a barrel of monkeys, really. The monkeys I've seen (besides the tv show The Monkeys) are a bunch of critters I'd rather not spend much time with.
@moosepucky yes, I played that game. Once. Cocaine addiction is funner, in my experience.
