What religion fits you best?

[sweetnpetite]

Emerald Kitten posted this link of Doc's Protostant thread, but I thought it diserved a thread of his own. I'm taking the quiz right now, and some of the questions really force you to think about stuff that you may have never given too much consideration of.

What I can offer is the link to the website: http://beliefnet.com/
And, as tacky as it may seem, the 'Belief-o-matic' (lol). It tells you, based on your answers, what religion you fit into best: http://beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

For example, I just took it again, and my top 4 were:
1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Mahayana Buddhism (95%)
3. Jainism (91%)
4. New Age (84%)

Then once you get the answers, you can click on the different ones and read about them.
Of course, if ya dig around, you can just get the brief explainations of different religions.


I'm glad I took a peek over here!

Some of these questions are hard!!!!!

I'm still working on it

Oh crap Joe, we were almost exactly the same, except I was lower on New Age (58%)

That's because we both voted against gay marriage.

Imagine that... Me? Not Roman Catholic.

Of course, I wouldn't have guessed Buddhist either.

Maybe that's because they've left Existentialism off the list (and ouot of the entire scope of questioning... )?

Wow. You're clearly a monotheist, hydrex. I believe in reincarnation, and personal deities. I was certain I was going to come out Hindu.

Don't mind me, just waiting around to stone the Jehovah's Witnesses...

And No, I will not pay 10 cents for your flyer.

I'm a bit confused as to how "nontheist" is 79%, but the "secular humanism" is 'bout right.

Yay, I'm not the only secular humanist

Now.. what is it? *grin* And what in the world is a Nonthiest?

 

[NoJo]

I'm beginning to see that Unitarian Universalism must be like Zen Bhuddism. No matter what you answer in the questionnaire, it always counts as an indicator that you're a Unitarian Universalist. I've never heard of it until now.

Nonthiest is their nice way of lumping atheist and agnostic.

Secular humanist appeared to be the same, but better.

Personally, I'm agnostist/apathetic.. to quote a friend, "I don't know, and I don't care."

*grin*

Secular humanist is the care of the human spirit.
Never heard of the one Joe is mentioning either..

 

[Colleen Thomas]

Secular humanists are basically agnostics who put most of the blame/credit of the way things are in the world on human beings and have a more pragmatic approach to religious need/doctrine.

Q_C

Maybe they lumped it in with 'new age':

• Belief in Deity
God is the impersonal life force, consciousness, ultimate truth and reality, the incorporeal, formless cosmic order personified within all people and matter. God is all and all are God.


• Incarnations
Most believe there are no particular incarnations to worship, as all in the universe are embodiments of God.


• Origin of Universe and Life
The universe, life, and matter were not created by God but "are" God. The universe and life emerged out of the creative power of the eternal universal life force.

Where are they hiding?
