Good Afternoon!

Stumbling across the above directed link, I dared to take their quiz!
hehehe

These are MY results:

The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs.
However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.


Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs.
***The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.


1.     Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
2.     Unitarian Universalism (98%)
3.     Baha'i Faith (98%)
4.     Reform Judaism (95%)
5.     Liberal Quakers (93%)
6.     Sikhism (93%)
7.     Neo-Pagan (91%)
8.     Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (90%)
9.     Mahayana Buddhism (89%)
10.     New Thought (88%)
11.     Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (88%)

22.     Taoism (59%)
23.     Secular Humanism (52%)
24.     Eastern Orthodox (39%)
25.     Roman Catholic (39%)
26.     Seventh Day Adventist (35%)
27.     Nontheist (31%)


What a bit of an eye opener-
Then again, had I been less of  mixture I would have surprised myself.
(Admittedly, I am not familiar with all those listed. But I will learn about many of them).

Take the quiz. Have fun. The questions are pretty basic and straightforward.
Of course you do not have to share your score if you do not wish to.
But how interesting this is!

Have a "wunnaful" Wednesday! (Updated "Flintville" blog to follow a bit later).
Must go toss a Frisbee around for now.

XOXO
Me

  13. Very interesting. I have always been taught that hindus are sort of the "un-religion". I guess this agrees. Also interesting that most of my top ones are all eastern philosophies.... with a dose of western.... so those church schools must have had an effect.

  15. Yes, I am NON-athiest! :D And proud of it...

    Good thing you added that snicker though...

    I know that you know me better than that! :D

    Although, I was brought up going to Catholic Mass on Christmas, and Easter and various other days throughout the year. Nothing against Catholicism I just don't agree with 99% of it... Well, according to the test results, I don't agree with 39% of it to be more accurate! :D

    LOVE YOU!!!

  18. That was funny.I am a cafeteria Catholic, I do not fit in anywhere. My sister does not speak to me because I said I did not like the Pope. Would not trust him to tie my shoes let alone guide my soul. Its like being a Democrat or Republican, there are too many titles out there . I am a square peg in a round hole.They broke the mold when they made me( come to think of it I am the youngest maybe thats true.

  23. BTW, I never would have thought that I would have been categorized neo-pagan. Numbers 2 through 6 did not surprise me but number one was a shocker. My main complaint with WICCA and New Agers is that they are not involved enough in the world and instead tend to withdraw. As opposed to the Unitarians who tend to engage with the issues.

    ReplyDelete

  24. I think they withdraw because of the (still) negative connotations that the Catholic Church has imposed upon them.
    Sad that.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I wish the quiz had rationale of why it scores like it did. I would be interested in which questions and the resulting answers drove the conclusions. There were a couple of the questions that I could have chosen one of two and I wonder what my results would be if I chose the other.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Sorry- Yes, I'd noted that too.
    Still an interesting 'take'.

    How bad is it that I was born/raised Catholic, and I was actually relieved when it came in so low for me?
    Telling, to say the least.
    Maybe more of a relief because even Catholics are becoming way too extreme for my heart.

  27. Reading the definitions was interesting too. The definition of a Liberal Quaker was especially interesting to me.
