That Quiz Again

[omorka]

Let's see how I do this time:

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)

No surprises there.

2. Unitarian Universalism (92%)

Not surprising either.

3. Mahayana Buddhism (80%)

This one always throws me . . . I think of my beliefs as being pretty firmly opposed to Buddhism's.

4. New Age (79%)

Pronounced to rhyme with "sewage." We have a little bit in common, but not too much.

5. Liberal Quakers (72%)

Another surprise, although it would have been less of one back in my total nonviolence phase.

6. Jainism (71%)

Do what? Okay, some good ideas, but any religion that wants its avatars to be celibate . . .

7. Theravada Buddhism (69%)

See #3.

8. Secular Humanism (68%)

Is this a real "faith"? I always thought it was the umbrella term for everything the fundies hated. At any rate, I'm a religious humanist, not a secular one.

9. Reform Judaism (66%)

Okay, I'll buy 2/3 compatible with Reform.

10. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (62%)

I don't know whether I buy this or not. I could probably believe I have about three-fifths in common with the most liberal Episcopalians and ELCA Lutherans I ever met.

11. Sikhism (59%)

Okay, now we're getting silly.

12. Hinduism (54%)

I would have thought this would have rated higher.

13. Bahá'í Faith (53%)
14. New Thought (53%)

Don't know enough about these to comment.

15. Taoism (49%)

Again, one I would have thought would score higher.

16. Nontheist (48%)

Feh. The only thing that separates a monotheist from an atheist is a single god. ;)

17. Scientology (47%)

I'm embarrassed that this is even this high on the list . . .

18. Orthodox Judaism (46%)
19. Orthodox Quaker (41%)
20. Islam (35%)

Nothing surprising about these, unless it's Orthodox Judaism scoring this high.

21. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (29%)

Not surprised this is low, but a little shocked that it's below both Scientology and Islam . . .

22. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (22%)

Again, a little suprised this is actually below Islam.

23. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (20%)
24. Eastern Orthodox (18%)
25. Roman Catholic (18%)

And I'm baffled that these are below mainline Protestantism; I know I have more in common with Father R. and Father H. than with any of the WELS pastors I've had.

26. Seventh Day Adventist (14%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (5%)

Yeah, no surprises there. I wonder what I have in common at all with the JWs?

Try it yourself!

The UU's come off remarkably poorly in the quiz; they're really not nearly as spineless as all that.

Other than that - not too far off, actually. Although I don't think the quiz is actually designed to find that particular set of threads. In particular, you nailed what I have in common with Secular Humanism.

You on Spring Break this week? I still need to swap readings with you - and if you can read a quiz result that well, I do want to see what you do with a deck of Tarot cards.

I'll grant you the UUs come off badly.
I'm off this week, but I'll be out of town until Sunday night. We can swap readings then. (I'll see if I can get your ph# from DM and call you tonight though)
