Test for morality and religiosity in English:
http://www.outofservice.com/morality/

In Russia, there is an interesting law according to which the feelings of believers are protected. Formally it sounds like this: "commission of public actions expressing clear disrespect for society and committed in order to offend the religious feelings of believers"

However, is there a precise definition of who "believers" are? In reality, no. Anyone can call himself a believer and, on this basis, be “offended” by anything. At first they are offended by some dances, then performances, books, paintings.

But is it correct in general, and in particular within the framework of their religion? AT this case I would like to draw attention to the main aspect. Russia - secular state, and therefore no one is obliged to honor or observe the "sacredness" or "canons" of certain cults, so as not to offend their adherents. For many so-called. believers of a different faith or unbelief is an insult to their feelings.

Therefore, in order to accurately determine whether a person believes or not, it is necessary to turn to " holy book". In this case, we will talk about the Bible, since it is obvious that the law in Russia is mainly connected with Orthodoxy. So, according to the Bible, there are several elementary tests for the Orthodox, after passing which they can easily say: we are believers.

Evidence of belief in God can be obtained after passing only 5 tests.

Test #1

Any believer, according to the gospel, can move not only objects, but also mountains. And in the literal sense of the word.

"Truly I say to you, 'If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, and say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. And nothing will be impossible for you." - (Matthew, 17:20)

It must be remembered that a mustard seed is, for primitive tribes, the smallest possible measure. That is, for a sincerely believing person it will not be difficult to move a mountain with the power of thought. Well, since there are not as many mountains as there are people who call themselves believers, you can ask them to move, for example, a bag of mustard seeds with the power of thought. This certainly will not be difficult for a passionately believing person, and will also prove to the whole world the greatness of his faith.

Test #2

A believer in God, as the same gospel says, can speak any language, since he spreads this word, including among unenlightened people.

"These signs will follow those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;" - Mark 16:16-17

So to prove faith, our believers must write at least a short sentence in some exotic language. For example, in Thai. After all, this, in theory, should not be difficult for him.

Test #3

It turns out that Christian believers, like fakirs, can control snakes

"they will pick up snakes" - Mark 16:18

And, oddly enough, this quote just has real attempts. For example, some Protestants (Pentecostals) in America practice similar acts. Pastor Walford did a similar trick last year. However, he was bitten by a rattlesnake and died in the hospital. Perhaps this happened insofar as he was not Orthodox faith? After all, everyone knows that only Orthodoxy is true doctrine Christ. After all, it is not just that officials from the ruling party protect believers from insults.

So feel free to try. This will not be difficult for any adherent of the true church. Moreover, again, Orthodoxy will confirm its dominance over other confessions.

Test #4

True believers cannot feel the effect of poison on themselves.

"And if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them" - Mark 16:18

Here everything is checked elementary. The believer can choose to demonstrate the greatness of Christ to the people. Unfortunately, the Pentecostals have not reached that point yet.

Test #5

And finally, the last one. Believing Christians know how to heal the sick with a simple touch of the hand. Just like in the bible!

"They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover" - Mark 16:18

Everything is simple, and most importantly safe. Just put your hand on the patient, and he immediately recovers. The spectacle is directly presented, how some frantic fanatic will cure, for example, cancer with one touch.

For sim you can finish. And remember that when you are told that faith does not need proof, you can always accuse such a person of blasphemy, since the “book of books” explicitly states that believers can prove their faith. Moreover, everyone can say “I am a believer”, including an unbeliever or “wrong believer”.

Therefore, if a person claims that he, as a believer, is offended by certain things, then ask him to prove that he really is a believer, and not a deceiver (any test will do). After all, the ground "I don't like" is not enough for a ban, and faith, according to the law, may be enough for such a ground.
