Title: Belief-O-Matic
Post by: Thing on September 18, 2003, 10:59 PM
Even if YOU don't know what faith you are, Belief-O-Matic™ knows. Answer 20 questions about your concept of God, the afterlife, human nature, and more, and Belief-O-Matic™ will tell you what religion (if any) you practice...or ought to consider practicing.

I answered "none of the above" and "not applicable" to all of the questions and here were my top results:

1.  Bahá'í Faith (100%)  
2.  Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (100%)  
3.  Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (100%)  
4.  Jehovah's Witness (100%)  
5.  Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)

1.  Unitarian Universalism (100%)  
2.  Liberal Quakers (87%)  
3.  Theravada Buddhism (85%)  
4.  Secular Humanism (84%)  
5.  Neo-Pagan (81%)  


I would agree with that, Unitarian is a good description of me :-)

I answered honestly, but about half is n/a.

Comments:
I'd think I'm more of a Secular Humanist than any others. Unitarian Universalism seems to just accept all tastes (unimportant, whereas i was mostly picking answers for the "does not exist"). Interesting that I might be a mainline to liberal christian protestant considering I disagree with their first 7 points :P

I am interested in these results, being brought up as a protestant christian.  I consider myself agnostic, and I don't have the desire to be flagged as any religion.  I like to filter out the bad and bring in the good.  After reading about these specific religions, I realized that some are me and some are not me.  However, I did like a lot of the Teravada Buddhism beliefs.  ;)
