Kinda contrived, isn't it? What if we rearranged the characteristics this way-- 
Candidate D: 
Associates with crooked politicians 
Consults with astrologers 
Has had at least two mistresses 
Drinks an occasional beer 

All the points come from the quiz you gave, but apply to Hitler too.

Hi Cato20,

I think one of the main points of the survey is that a persons Social Environment does not dictate their individual outcome in life.

In other words it is impossible for humans with limited knowledge to determine prior to birth whether that life is worth living or not, to Christians all lives are worth living, and therefore abortion is even all the more unnecessary, cruel, and evil.

Undoubtedly abortion is robbing our nation, the world, and humanity of the privilege of getting to know its finest members.

Of course Christians believe that every life is precious and that each individual is given the freedom from God to choose to overcoming evil by being good, and in overcoming evil glorifying God.

God Bless you,

David

And I think that another point of the survey is that we really dont know the true heart and true intentions of our leaders / officials so all the more reason we need to look to Jesus as our Only True, Trustworthy and Faithful Leader.

That may be the intention; my observation was only that the quiz didn't prove the point because it was slanted in the characteristics presented about each leader. Put another way, if you or I were to put up four other charcteristics--all true ones, of course--about FDR, Churchill, and AH, the reader would make a completely different choice.

Hi,

Obviously it does make the points and very well! Unless of course you think that Beethoven should have been aborted by society.

The purpose of the survey isnt to just show how data can be manipulated into saying anything it is to show that we need Much More Information in order to make informed discussions. Information that we as humans generally dont posses but information that God Himself does readily posses, so all the more reason that we humans need to rely on and look to God and His Bible for guidance.

God Bless you,

David

The Beethoven part, no problem. 
The FDR, etc. quiz...well, poorly constructed, that's all. Regardless of the intention.
