Christina posted a link to a beliefs quiz the other day and I finally got around to taking it. My results are interesting, not what I expected.

Liberal Protestant I expected…but that close to Scientology? Freaky. And neo-pagan? Huh? I do find it amusing that Reform Judaism is higher than Liberal Protestant; must have been all those Bar Mitzvahs I went to as a kid. Go take the quiz, and if you’re feeling brave, post your results too. I’m curious…and curious if anyone else has never heard of half of these religions before.

    Seems I am bucking the systems in place. 100% only as a Secular Humanist. Is that a nice way of calling me a heathen? The 17% Jehovah’s Witness must be alluding to my inability to refrain from knocking on stranger’s front doors. And it seems if I ever want to be a Liberal Quaker, I would most likely fit in. But this only brings to mind the question, is there such a thing as a conservative Quaker?

    Michelle’s probably wise, but I’m not afraid. I’ll just post the first 7 as I don’t feel any affinity whatsoever for the remainder:

    The first two are one and the same thing anyway. Don’t hate me because I’m a traditional believer! You opened up this Pandora’s Box!

    2. Roman Catholic (100%)
    3. Orthodox Quaker (97%)
    4. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (88%)
