"Sometimes these things happen" ???

Ergh. If I was talking to a god who gave that as the excuse for existence, I'd be very tempted to hit her/him/it. If said god was in corporeal form.

Its funny that despite mechanistic arguments for pre-destination and lack of free will being the most scarey (or at least, I don't want to think of me being nothing more than an extremely complex biochemical robot), I've always found the arguments for this line of reasoning the most compelling... *shiver*

Colour me confused, but the bits on free will and predestination seem to belong with a more, um, theist outlook than you express in the rest of the quiz?

I liked the bit about rotting largely. That was a good one.
I have Doom3 to now, I have developed a tendance of staying in the light areas where possible...
