Ciao Witty Owl,

Your belief that you avoid all belief, is that your belief?

Witty, my interpretation of your scores would be that you are quite open-minded.

Witty ~

I had no idea that Universal Unitarian and Liberal Quaker could be such cozy bedfellows :) . And close on the heels of Paganism comes Mainstream Christian Protestant :lol: . Now these things are interesting! Sorry fella, I guess they failed to consider Evil Heathen a religion :( .

Ok, I will just list the ones I got a high score in.
1 Baha'i Faith (100%)
2 Reform Judaism (94%)
3 Liberal quakers (93%)
4 Mainline-Liberal Christian Protestant (93%)
5 Mormons (92%)
There's a Baha'i centre in the next town to me, maybe I should get myself down there :)

Funny survey!

I got 100% in Theravada Buddhism and 99% in Mahayana Buddhism, followed by 96% Liberal Quakers( Huh? Somehow related to the corn flakes? :wink: )
And the lowest score was 20% Roman Catholic, the religion I was brought up into...with very little success, as anyone can see...

unitarian universalism, secular humanism {my beliefs, lack of belief varies} y is compassion so important to us non-believers. logically with no fear of spiritual retribution we should have a "cover yous kick theirs" mentality. it's surely not the catholic schoolgirl in me{damn, where did i put that uniform?}

Hi fellow Unitarian Universalist/Neo-Pagan/Liberal Christian,Quaker/Sikh/
Mahayana Buddhist/ New Age Thinkers :lol:

Interesting, if somewhat limited (and limiting) quiz. Not belonging to any category and taking a quiz to find one does seem a tad oxymoronic.

Seems Universal Unitarian (oh, whatever) is for everything un-religious i.e. un-dogmatic, un-extreme or fundamentalist.

As for 'religion',which comes from the Latin:religio,meaning 'bond';I won't be bound by any set creed or dogma. I'm with Abraham Lincoln who said:-

"When any church will inscribe over its altar, as its sole qualification
for membership, the Saviour's condensed statement of the
substance of both law and Gospel, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and thy neighbor as
thyself', that church will I join with all my heart and all my soul."

ref. Matt.15:7-9 (Isaiah 29:13)

Always seek Truth with love,

1. Mahayana Buddhism (100%) which includes Pure Land school, Zen and Vajrayana Buddhism {yeah, I prefer Vajrayana :D }.
2. Theravada Buddhism (97%) {well, I agree}.
3. Hinduism (92%) {actually so-called “Hinduism” includes a wide variety of schools, believes, cults etc., so, perhaps, it’s easy to choose something there according to one’s own taste}
And Islam was at the bottom {yeah, I couldn’t imagine something that would suit me less than that. Well, I don’t know much, maybe there is something else :lol: .}
I've finally found myself! But that turned out to be a completely different person.

100% - Neo-Pagan. After all it seems that I am a real witch too, according to this.

Well, I meant it literally. I came to the episcopal church via a friendship with a priest and his wife, who taught a comparative religion course in my undergrad studies. He ws a Harvard grad, old Deadhead aging hippie. I am a died-in-the-wool Anglophile with a love for ritual and am very visual, so my husband and I joined this gorgeous church. Jess, the priest, was a real window to God. They became our best friends, and we took all our vacations together. I became a eucharistic minister and Jess and I often sharred the altar together.

Jess died of a brain tumor two years ago. I was blessed to be working in homecare/hospice and so got to take care of him ans support his wife in his decline (3 months from diagnosis to death). After his death, the church descended into chaotic dissention, and I couldn't bear to go anymore.

So, I say my hallelujas from my kayak on the ponds and rivers, or in the woods. I think my days of corporate worhip are over, although I will certainly go to any choral evensong I run into when I am in Britain!

well, there's more information than you needed!
