Matching religion to your beleifs - Page 2

Well, my beliefs were
100 Orthodox Quaker,
98% Seventh Day Adventist,
and 91% mainline Protestant.

I left at least one question unanswered, and felt boxed in by others, forced to answer in a way that was closest, not totally indicative of my beliefs.

But, I went and checked out the Quakers as a result. I don't agree with some of their central assertions - despite what the quiz says - but it was an interesting excercise nonetheless. Some of their practices I found appealing. Our "Cafe Church" in Sydney had some similarities for example.

I knew I shared some beliefs with the Seventh Day Adventists before doing the quiz, and despite never setting foot in one of their churches.

But rock and roll.

Now this is very roughly results. Take Islam for example-it's a very diverse religion where some parts vaguely resemble Buddhism and others are more mainline or conservative. But I suppose it points in a direction.

are these all legimate religions? havent heard of even half of them!

Stormymystic · 07-04-2003, 12:17 PM

Neo-Pagan (100%)
don't feel like going through the whol list,lol but this is my 100%

slicer15 · 07-04-2003, 12:18 PM

It put me as a mormon...but I disagree with some of things it said mormons believe in...for example, I do NOT believe God has a wife...

And like others, I didn't like the feel of this quiz. I prefer to say all I am is a Christian, full stop. I don't care what other denominations there are, I folllow Christianity. I hate the idea of so many different branches existing all with differing, and often conflicting, beliefs. The problem is, saying all I am is a Christian is only a result of my stubborness as others will take that differently depending on what they believe a Christian is...ah, the complexities of life...

Yes these are all legitimate religions (except of course for Nontheist).

Try looking them up and learning something about them.

Mormans or Latter Day Saints don't believe that god has a wife. just thought that i would clarify that.
