I couldn't help but giggle at some of these results. I was cornered by a Mormon on the street the other day and while I could accept about half of what he was saying we disagreed fundamentally on lots of things, it was actually rather fun to take apart a person's religious faith and point out where their beliefs made no sense. Of course, the guy would not accept my reasoning so no harm was done but I learnt a lot about their faith.

The only thing I said that might have upset him was that there should be carbon dating tests performed on their religious works (the Mormons base their faith on The Book of Mormon, found by a guy in the early 1800s after he was given a vision of where it had been hidden, buried in central South America). I said that if you're going to base your beliefs on something written in a book that is supposed to be very old why not at least prove that it really is that old? That way you can dismiss claims from people such as myself that the guy just made it up so he could start a religion with himself as a prophet.

The Mormon wasn't very happy with my suggestion... I didn't mean to upset him but if he will give me ammunition like that...

Pretty nifty quiz...

Heh.. I've had the Quaker belief system recommended to me before... And Humanism, for that matter...

It strikes me that Unitarian Universalism is the religion for the lost and the baffled - full of belief, but lacking in structure. Perfecto! Sign me up already...

Not many surprises for me, but certainly interesting.

A bit strange that it has given me reasonably high scores with some that require a belief in a God though - I'm an atheist.

It's funny I most relate to Wicca, and that is what's under the neo-pagan thing.

(Mata perhaps you scored so high on the mormon thing because of the questions about heaven. As I was reading some of the questions of heaven I read questions like, whether or not people go to heaven or hell, or everyone goes to heaven. In the mormon religion everyone goes to heaven. Just thought I'd throw that out there to perhaps help figure it out.)

uh, whats neo-pagan??? i think the new age thing is more me...

Neo-Pagans are a community of faiths bringing ancient Pagan and magickal traditions to the modern age--including mostly Wicca but also Druidism, Asatru, Shamanism, neo-Native American, and more. Neo-Pagan is an umbrella term for various and diverse beliefs with many elements in common. Some Neo-Pagans find no incongruence practicing Neo-Paganism along with adherence to another faith, such as Christianity or Judaism.

• Belief in Deity
Some believe in a Supreme Being. Many believe in God and Goddess--a duality. Many believe there are countless spirit beings, gods and goddesses, in the cosmos and within all of nature--God is all and within all; all are one God. The Great Mother Earth, or Mother Nature, is highly worshipped. Divinity is immanent and may become manifest within anyone at any time through various methods.


• Incarnations
No human incarnations are worshipped in particular, as all of nature and the universe are considered embodiments of God and Goddess, or of gods and goddesses, worthy of respect, reverence, or worship.


• Origin of Universe and Life
Generally, there is no conflict between observations revealed through science and Neo-Pagan beliefs on origins of the physical universe and of man. Many believe in a supreme intelligence that created a duality of God/Goddess who then created a spirit world of gods and goddesses as well as all of the universe and nature.


• After Death
Many believe in reincarnation after some rest and recovery in the "Otherworld." There is generally no concept of hell as a place of punishment, but some believe wrongdoing can trap the soul in state of suffering after death. Some (Wicca) believe the soul joins their dead ancestors who watch over and protect their family. Some believe that life energy continues in some, if unknown, form. Some believe in various spiritual resting places. Many say we don't or can't know what happens after death.


• Why Evil?
"Evil" is imbalance. Most believe there is no evil but rather that people sometimes make mistakes. Wrongdoing results when we forget we are one with the universal spirit.


• Salvation
The concept of "salvation" is essentially irrelevant; rather the belief that people can attain spiritual balance and harmony with each other and nature. The path includes group ceremonies, dances, songs/chants, prayers, meditation, trance, altered states of consciousness, the metaphysical, magic, invoking or evoking deities or spirits, Tantric practices. Intercessors are commonly used: psychics, seers, shamans, tarot, Oui-Ja board. Ethical choices are influenced by a belief that one is rewarded or punished within this or after this lifetime for one's choices and an ethical code to do no harm.


• Undeserved Suffering
Most do not believe in Satan or any spirit being as the cause of suffering. Some believe in a karma-like principle, that choosing to live a life of wrongdoing and pain will naturally result in suffering in this or later lifetimes. Many view suffering as a result of spiritual imbalance in one's life or on the planet or in the universe. The focus is generally on healing suffering rather than answering definitively why it exists.


• Contemporary Issues
Abortion is not condemned, as there is no official doctrine; beliefs about abortion range the full spectrum. Views on divorce, homosexuality, and gender equality are generally very supportive of human differences, equality, and personal choice. Many believe that involvement in community action, especially regarding environmental concerns, is integral to the belief in human interdependence and worship of the Earth Mother.

ditto.

• Belief in Deity
Not considered important. Most Humanists are atheists or agnostics.


• Incarnations
Same as above.


• Origin of Universe and Life
The scientific method is most respected as the means for revealing the mysteries of the origins of the universe and life.


• After Death
An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.


• Why Evil?
No concept of “evil.” Reasons for wrongdoing are explored through scientific methods, e.g. through study of sociology, psychology, criminology.


• Salvation
No concept of afterlife or spiritual liberation or salvation. Realizing ones personal potential and working for the betterment of humanity through ethical consciousness and social works are considered paramount, but from a naturalistic rather than supernatural standpoint.


• Undeserved Suffering
No spiritual reasons but rather a matter of human vulnerability to misfortune, illness, and victimization.


• Contemporary Issues
The American Humanist Association endorses elective abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.

yeah, it's interesting.../me likes the sound of secular humanism

what the hell is jahovah's witness doing in there?

unitarian unaversalism.
• Belief in Deity
Very diverse beliefs--Unitarian/Universalists welcome all deity beliefs as well as nontheistic beliefs. Some congregations are formed for those who share a common belief, e.g. Christianity.

• Incarnations
Very diverse beliefs, including belief in no incarnations, or that all are the embodiment of God. Some believe Christ is God's Son, or not Son but "Wayshower." some people beleive that jesus was a freedom fighter.
• Origin of Universe and Life
Diverse beliefs, but most believe in the Bible as symbolic and that natural processes account for origins.

• After Death
Diverse beliefs, but most believe that heaven and hell are not places but are symbolic. Some believe heaven and hell are states of consciousness either in life or continuing after death; some believe in reincarnation; some believe that afterlife is nonexistent or not known or not important, as actions in life are all that matter.

• Why Evil?
Most do not believe that humanity inherited original sin from Adam and Eve or that Satan actually exists. Most believe that God is good and made people inherently good but also with free will and an imperfect nature that leads some to immoral behavior. Diverse beliefs. Some believe wrong is committed when people distance themselves from God. Some believe in “karma,” that what goes around comes around. Some believe wrongdoing is a matter of human nature, psychology, sociology, etc.

• Salvation
Some believe in salvation through faith in God and Jesus Christ, along with doing good works and doing no harm to others. Many believe all will be saved, as God is good and forgiving. Some believe in reincarnation and the necessity to eliminate personal greed or to learn all of life’s lessons before achieving enlightenment or salvation. For some, the concepts of salvation or enlightenment are irrelevant or disbelieved.

• Undeserving Suffering
Diverse beliefs. Most Unitarians do not believe that Satan causes suffering. Some believe suffering is part of God’s plan, will, or design, even if we don’t immediately understand it. Some don’t believe in any spiritual reasons for suffering, and most take a humanistic approach to helping those in need.


• Contemporary Issues
The Unitarian Universalist Association’s stance is to protect the personal right to choose abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.


i've bolded things i thought were particularly releivent to me. funnily enough, this is the first time i have came across this religion.

MistressAlti = Anti-Mata as far as beliefs go! We couldn't have been much more opposite if we tried!

I like Taoism because it says that basically there are correct ways of living but the universe is ultimately a mystery so don't bother trying to understand it, just get on with life, be nice to people and try not to be too judgemental.

Technically it's a philosophy rather than a religion though because it says that if there is a god of any sort then it would by definition be beyond our understanding so trying to work it out would be daft /pedant

hmm...
this stands up to my own PERSONAL beliefs that "the higher spirit/s" is/are just oo big/mysterious for us to understand, but all religions have parts of it. its just a matter of fiding the one which suits you the best.
i mainly beleive this because this world cant be all there is.....

looks like i would be doing the same (if i beleived in any organized congragation). but i think the baffled thing is the right way to go about religion; instead of having to blindly have faith you just wander aimlessly until something strikes you!

i don't know...something close to nature like wicca i guess...it's just finding exactly the right thing, cause im not exactly a huge religious person and anything that wants six hours a day of my time to bow to statues etc is not for me.

ok i took this quiz twice (and forgot to save the results) and answered differently each time (because the questions (for my personal beliefs) are extemely bad at encompassing my beliefs) and ended up with

prodistentism, Bahá'í-ism, quakerism (only the first time), judaism, and hinduism (i can't remember the rest)

umm...... prodistentism? i don't even believe in the same kind of god that they do, and they say i'm 100% prodestant? lol

ok, i took it a third time and this time decided to be extemely lenient in answering (i answered many questions which i had previously answered 'none of the above' with answers that COULD be interpreted with my beliefs, like #4, #7, and definitely #10) and got completely different results

then again, maybe i'm just a weird case of faith indecision

wOOt! Neo Pagan
Eww, Christian Science. Christianity is just plain evil.
I'll have to go back and read the others later, I'm feeling quite impatient right now, so...bye

Oh, yeah, has anyone got Shinto yet? I was kinda wondering if it was a possibility to get. I don't know everything about it but from what I do know I like it.

I do belive that one of my freinds got Shinto .. I am not 100% certian, but remember him talking about it.

Ehh....Liberal Quakers? Tell me how anything about god, Jesus Christ and salvation got onto my results? And right above neo-pagan too.

I've taken this quiz several times before over the years, and I seem to get vastly different results all the time (only thing that remains the same is that Unitarian Universalist is always at the top, although I have never considered myself one). This time I think I've finally figured out the problem: the questions fail to address anything that seems very relevant or important to me. Obviously the quiz falls short in that way, but oh well.

Congrats to me for getting some of the lowest scores of anyone on the last four monotheistic religions listed...at least the quiz was that accurate.

So when are they going to add "agnostic pagan" to that list?

i finally managed to do it! (my computer had previously decided that beliefnet did not exsist)

i agree pretty much with what the results show, but it strikes me that unitarian universalism doesnt really believe in much of anything solid so i dont see that its a relogion really as no one has any specific beliefs

any way i have to go to class now byee

personally i think this thing is an anti-catholic movement by a bunch of witches... lol jk, but the results all seem to be against catholocism and all for Unitarian Universalism, Liberal Quakers and Neo-Pagan... which means either we're all very like-minded in our beliefs (and this place has something to do with them) or the test is rather flawed. btw im a roman catholic, and despite my preference of SOME other religions views, i still accept my own religion and fit in with it auite well... tho i have adapted it somewhat to myself...

heh thats great i gues im christian in all ways acountible accept i dont want to go to heven... i have personal issues

One of the reasons I posted the link to start off with was to see if (as I had guessed might be true) the people who come on this forum had generally similar ideas about spirituality.

I think one of the things that is interesting about the way the makers of the test describe it is that they open the possibility that people may be following a religion that doesn't actually fit with their personal interpretation of the world.

I don't see myself as really having a religion any more. I am studying and have adopted a good many of aspects and ideas from the hindu religion, but I can't actually call myself a hindu quite yet, now can I? Religion, I suppose takes effort. Then again, some people also refer to it as the general ideas and views towards existance/afterlife/things on the test. At the moment, I'd say it's all mixed up with myself from the neo-pagan viewpoint, the hindu viewpoint, and a tad bit of buddhism. But of course, I can't be arsed to choose an actual religion. :)

this was very interesting for me especially considering i was worried about the results but i am happy to say that i answered correctly for all the beliefs of my religion (which is Jehovah's Witness), but i am shocked to see how all the answers that make me 100% Jehovah's Witness also make me 100% Mormon. this could not be farther from the truth considering Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses have some extreme differeneces..but i am happy nonetheless
