Well then, I guess that settles it. I’m off to join a Thai forest monastery. I hope they have high-speed internet access.

What I really want to see is Libertarian’s score on this thing.

Raised Lutheran (and had a grandfather who was a wrestler turned storekeeper turned Finnish Apostolic pastor).

Top three:

  • Mainline to Conservative Protestant (score = 100)

  • Latter Day (score = 99)

  • Eastern Orthodox (score = 94)

Weird. I am not Protestant, or Mormon, and I don’t even know anyone who is Eastern Orthodox. It was an interesting test, but difficult. Some of the questions were hard to answer, because while I think certain things are important for me, I don’t necessarily think everyone else will reach the Truth the same way. If that makes any sense. (In other words, I don’t believe in a strict “It’s this ONE way only, MY way, or else you will sizzle in Hell forever!”)
But, in a way, the test was close. I do have specific and strong beliefs, and this test tapped into that.

I really dont think my beliefs are very Neo-Pagan (I actually don’t want to associate myself with it because i’m not at all interested in being a Neo-Pagan). New Age possibly, but to me it has a flaky connotation to it. I can agree with Hinduism, which is a religion i do find fascinating. Of the top ten, my first three choices that I really am actually interested in, and kind of jibe with my spiritual views are Hinduism, Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism (Mahayana is a bit more interesting to me though). I REALLY wonder why i ended up with Scientology in the top ten :).

Bottom Ten:

Bahá’í (score = 27)
Orthodox Judaism (score = 26)
Atheist/Agnostic (score = 21)
Latter Day…click to learn more (score = 14)
Eastern Orthodox (score = 13)
Seventh Day Adventist (score = 9)
Islam (score = 9)
Roman Catholic (score = 9)
Jehovah’s Witness (score = 5)
Mainline to Conservative Protestant (score = 3)

I basically agree with the bottom ten. Funny thing is, I was raised Catholic. But, i dont really follow it much anymore. I think my mom might score low on Catholocism, even though she goes to church every Sunday and is quite active in the church.

well, blessed be!

Hmm, I made 3rd. And I make the worst Atheist as well.

And isn’t Orthodox Quaker the same as Amish? I know I’m a plain person, but not that plain. :o

Funny, I was raised slightly Roman Catholic. Baptised, Communion, all that sort of thing. Didn’t really stick… I guess it doesn’t help if you really don’t believe in a supreme being :wink:

I read the text on Unitarian Universalists, but their beliefs were so varied that I would never consider that a serious religion. More like a debate club, likely.

Atheist/Agnostic sounds about right: I do believe in some form of afterlife, but not in a supreme being.

Man, from the descriptions, this is really close. Also interesting, since I was raised Roman Catholic, now near bottom, and am a philisophical Taoist, which seems to fit in the New Age category.
