Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

I agree. From a scientific stand point this test is designed to shock people and not to be accurate. The numbers are inflated. Plus it didn't take into account heating energy; I live in southern California and almost never use the heater or airconditioner (I love that ocean breeze) so wouldn't an ice bound canuk consume more then the quiz let's on?

Imagine how different a different country makes it.
In Turkey, I have a footprint of 6.7 and need 3.7 planets
In the US, I had a footprint of 11.3 and needed 6.3 planets
The biggest factors were (1) I don't drive in Turkey, (2) I eat less meat and way less processed food here, because it simply isn't available and/or cost a fortune, and (3) I moved from my 300-sq.-meter, 5 bedroom house in the States to an 80-sq.meter apartment here. The Turkish score would doubtless be lower if I weren't spending more time on airplanes.

Took the test two times: One for the status before my father's death (more people in the house and I didn't drive) and one for current status. The extra space makes a much larger difference than driving.
