I posted this link over in the Ask the Neo-Pagan Guy thread but thought it was interesting enough to throw out as a general topic of Great Debates all of its own.
So, where on the color triangle do you fall?
I put myself somewhere between the Blues and the Reds, so color me Purple! 
Well, I’m not actually Wiccan or pagan, but I find my religious views seem quite compatible with their ideas.
I was kind of green, more towards blue than yellow, though.
Interesting site.
Blue. I am a smurf. la-laa-la-la-la-laa…

That’ll teach me to post early in the morning, before I’m awake. While the site is Wiccan in nature, I think its idea of how we each view Deity can easily be carried over to a monotheistic viewpoint.
For example, many of the Fundamentalist Christians emphasize a personal relationship with Jesus/God. Does that mean they’re toward the red end of the triangle? Since they have this relationship, like a close friendship, do they view Deity as a person they’re in close communication with?
Freyer, I guess I would be blue. Does that sound right? Interestingly, my temperament tests out at 100% melancholy, and my love-language is words of affirmation.
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
All Deities smite you with boils if you ever say anything like that again!!
May the Mighty Cecil blast you with his lightnings!
:wally
sizzle
cough
Easy with the smitings! Now my clothes are all charred.
:o Sorry.
Seriously, I read Freyr’s link, turned out the “blue” description matched. Forgive me my facetious comment. (I should really know better than to try and be funny…)
:eek::rolleyes::p:)
I’m in the middle between blue and yellow, with a little red. It’s largely because I worship two different kinds of deities.
On one hand, there are the personal deities, the various pantheons one can invoke while working or use to personify the phenomena of the world. I could talk about the effusion of glory and awe that I feel in the presense of the animist spirit of the moon, but it’s simpler to call her Selene.
If I’m doing a love-related ritual, for another example, I could invoke the power and history present in our collective investment of meaning in the concept of love, but it’s easier to invoke that under the name Aphrodite.
The personal gods, to me, are personifications; they’re the animist spirit/meaning/Genius we find in a specific concept or place or thing or person.
We think about romantic love and we invoke Aphrodite as that part of the Goddess that Is romantic love.
And then…
The God and Goddess (to even put a word on them is to personify them more than they can really be personified, so it doesn’t really matter; sometimes I call them God and Goddess, sometimes Goddess, sometimes kami, sometimes sidhe, or whatever) are the ungraspable, the unnameable, not because it is forbidden to name them but because it is impossible. The ultimate of everything that exists, They Who contain multitudes, the Indra’s Web of action and reaction, the asymptote which individual entities may approach (in various ways) indefinitely but never actually reach, but it doesn’t matter because Thou Art Goddess, the Self-Singing Song.
But no–agh, arg barf–Smurfs!1 :mad:

This isn’t a test with right or wrong answers, but a way to graphically demonstrate how one views Deity and how that association compares to others. If you feel BLUE is closest to how you view Deity (either poly or monotheistically) then that’s what’s best for you.
As I stated, I view Deity somewhere between the Reds and the Blues, so color me purple. I think Matt_mcl put it pretty well, by calling Deity the name we most closely associate with a particular quality we can more easily interact with Deity thru that quality. Everything I’ve read by you here on the SDMB indicates you associate Deity with the love and compassion most associated with the Nazarene, Jesus.
Damn, how’d this elephant get in here?
Huh. I think that site puts into words well my personal views on religion. I fall near the blue point, pulling slightly towards the yellow.
So, if you’re like, an autumn, so then, hmmmm, you’re like, a pantheistic agnostic? What color of shoes goes best with that?
But if you wear the handkerchief in the other side you’re a masochistic monotheist.
Got it.
