What Do You Believe?
I've been thinking a bit about spirituality and religious beliefs lately, so I decided to take the Belief-O-Matic Quiz yesterday, and these were my top ten results:
1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (95%)
3. New Age (90%)
4. Liberal Quakers (88%)
5. Neo-Pagan (88%)
6. New Thought (86%)
7. Hinduism (81%)
8. Orthodox Quaker (78%)
9. Mahayana Buddhism (73%)
10. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (71%)
I wasn't terribly surprised at the results, because in reality, I am Episcopalian (by choice, not by upbringing), which falls into the Liberal Protestant category. And according to Belief-O-Matic, this is what Liberal Protestants tend to believe:
What Liberal Protestants Believe
Also sometimes referred to as secular, modern, or humanistic. This is an umbrella term for Protestant denominations, or churches within denominations, that view the Bible as the witness of God rather than the word of God, to be interpreted in its historical context through critical analysis. Examples include some churches within Anglican/Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and United Church of Christ. There are more than 2,000 Protestant denominations offering a wide range of beliefs from extremely liberal to mainline to ultra-conservative and those that include characteristics on both ends.
That's all for today. I just got back from vacation yesterday and I am now in bed, writhing in pain, and think I have a kidney stone. (I've had lots of them, they are horrible horrible horrible.) I'll be back soon!

I suppose horrific pain will get you thinking religion in a hurry!
Sorry to hear you going through it. Hope it passes quickly. My dad has had hundreds of them and each one has been bad. I'm lucky not to have any more firsthand information than that. But, it's enough.

I tried to take the quiz last night and it wouldn't let me finish the last page so I came back today. According to it, I am 100% mainline to conservative christian/protestant. I'd say that is 100% accurate. It also says I'm 99% conservative Quaker. Not so sure about that.
