Belief-o-Matic! Where is your bread buttered? The completely unofficial pigeon-holing of beliefs

Belief-o-Matic! Where is your bread buttered? The completely unofficial pigeon-holing of beliefs

Now then, now then. This questionnaire will lead you to a confusing result (I\'m a Sikh apprarently ) but it does get your brain juices pumping and makes you front up to the wishy-washiness of our usual approcach to the divine (or lack thereof). Go on, have a bash. I like the look of being a reformed Jew!

QUESTIONNAIRE

 

[Sand Rat]

Interesting - even with leaving God, god, or the Dog out of the question, I still came up as a Mainline/Liberal Protestant.

I guess you can take the boy out of the C of E, but you cant take the C of E out of the boy.


Screwit, I\'m switching to Pastafarism

 

[vincegamer]

\"secular humanist\" no big surprise.

Oddly Christian Scientist showed up on the list at 48% whereas Catholic was only 17%.
If I were ever to return to a belief in divinity, I would return to my home church of Catholicism. I find Christian Scientist to be one with which I have no sympathy, rating it only one step above Scientology (37%??).

 

[Sand Rat]

Well, you could always try Episcopalianism - all of the guilt and none of the Pope.

We report to an Arch-Bishop who thinks evolution is ok.

Course, the last time I seriously thought about going to church, the church burned. Really.


Giant Spaghetti Monster, here I come.

 

[Infidel Castro]

Russian Orthodox would be the best says I lol

[Herb the bitter]

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian 100%
2. Orthodox Quaker 85%
3. Liberal Quaker 84%

Evidently I need to eat more Quaker Oats. Roman Catholic, which technically I am, came in 8th @ 64%. Mormons and Jehovah\'s witnesses were at the bottom of the list, even below the Nontheists
lol couldn\'t be more accurate in that regard.

 

[finn18]

That\'s hilarious!

I am a devout and committed atheist but I came out with 100% match for Liberal Christian Protestant.

As a paid-up member of the Secular Society I object!!!:bouncy:

 

[wiccanpony]

hummmmm.....top of the list...Neo-Pagan, who would of thought lollollol

 

[Naukhel]

I refuse to quantify my beliefs in a quiz, as it goes against my religious principles.

This was actually kind of funny, Like Finn, I am very Atheist. After reading the descriptions, I find that I do fit in to my #2 spot Secular Humanism. Mainly I believe, do no harm.

Gin

Oh and Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!

 

[Rodnik]

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
2. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (98%)

No real reason for me to look farther down the list I guess----since they hit the nail right on the head. I\'m a Christian Protestant that believes in pro-choice and the death-penalty.....

 

[Evil Dave]

Hmm... Sikhism (100%)
Neo-Pagan (99%)

 

[finn17]

Happy Birthday Gin!

So...you\'re fighting with me for the spot of Groundskeeper Willy (your words ) and noe you\'ve also come out with a top match for Sikhism as well? Like me? Holy shite Dave, what\'s going on?

I was Jainism and then Baha\'i (sp?) otherwise.

 

[dauber22]

Happy Birthday, GIn!

Edit: I find it odd that Christian Science and Scientology ranked #1 & 5. Like VInce, those are two things I don\'t put a hell of a lot of faith in.

 

[finn17]

It seems to be lacking a certain something...

i.e. a plain ole, burn-in-hell, couldn\'t give a rat\'s arse category.:bouncy:

well actually I could give a rat\'s arse, but I ain\'t about to join a club to prove it...

Yeah, I don\'t remember seeing the question: do you believe an alien named Zog is sending tiny invaders into your body to keep you from manipulating time?

 

[dauber22]

You\'re right Finn. I does seem to be missing a few categories. What if you\'re a devout Satanist or (more accurately) a devil whorshipper? Is there a VooDoo category? Is there a \"Huh, what?\" or \"none of the above\" categories? Perhaps most importantly, is there a \"who cares?\" category? Isn\'t it possible for someone to be so materialistic, noninquisitive, and emperical that they really don\'t care or have strong opinions on any of these matters? But then, I suppose, they wouldn\'t be likely to take such a quiz.

@vince - lol
