Take this quiz, do the results match up with your religion/faith?

http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/

 

I'm mostly doing this to maybe get some people to think. Maybe there's a religion that actually fits your beliefs better than the reigion that you're currently following? 

Of course, it's just a random quiz on the internet, so it may mean nothing, but it still may get you to think a bit.

My results pegged me as being apart of 'Unitarian Universalism'. Since pantheists can be described in this manner, though rather very generically, it's still accurate as Pantheism is not a direct answer in the test (as far as I could see).

O_O You're a pantheist?

I did not know that. lol Pantheism is the only belief that I could possibly identify myself with, if I were to identify myself so specifically.

Side: Yes, it's what I claim to be

Ha ha, I didn't know the word for my faith really until maybe a year ago, so calling it such myself is not commonplace, since it's almost a fresh word for an old idea.

Is that so? I do not know then if you getting Unitarian Universalism is inaccurate then. I actually had to look up the philosophy myself, and it's not really an organized religion, but more of a category that clumps atheists, agnostics, pantheists, polytheists, monotheists, etc, into one giant group around the similarity that they all search for the meaning of existence actively as opposed to adhering to the teachings of an organized religion without any intrigue or questions.

And while pantheism has the potential to answer the ultimate questions, it's not quite as solid in rule as Christianity or Islam. Pantheism is almost literally about searching for what life means to you, therefore rendering us almost completely down to this 'Unitarian Universalism' group.

At least, I think so.

Pantheism

Boo! Panentheism is the way to go ...

Side: Yes, it's what I claim to be

Well i never really "claimed" to be anything other than a spiritual being going through life, I got hinduism, but im more of a taoist, before i would have just said im a shaman, but it would seem shamanism and taoism are very close together

It said I was 100% Secular Humanist.

Well, the definition I read about Secular Humanism seems about right.

Side: Yes, it's what I claim to be

I got 100% New Age and Taoism was second with 88% while I dont describe myself as either it's probably close enough

Side: Yes, it's what I claim to be

Secular Humanism (100%). Description of it seems to be accurate enough. Still, I don't exactly "claim" myself to be one.

Non-theist (97%), this should be 100 also... As I am not a theist, not even slightly. And I think I know where the 3 went... not many option, just two or three.

I took the quiz and it said that I was a conservative Christian so its what I claim to be and I knew the results would probably be that I would be a Christian.

I got 100% for a religion I don't adhere to. My religion was 95%.

I'm also proud to be only 11% Conservative Christian Protestant.

Side: Yes, it's what I claim to be

100% Secular Humanist, and 84% non-theist (atheist). Looking at the definition of "secular humanist," the results seem about right.

Actually i turned out to be closer to Secular Humanism. Despite my mistrust of being tagged to any religious or ethical faction, i found it more interesting than how much i was, in deed, expecting. To me, it's a nice test. Surely, i dont consider it, in any way, scientifically worthy.

I got 100% MUSLIM?!

I got 100% Unitarian Universalism. :)

I got 100% secular humanism.

I'm not.

To me, secular humanists believe in collectivism and social welfare programs.

It should have just said atheist.

Secular Humanism can also mean this: http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?page=what§ion;=main

(I currently have no idea how to add a link to a word. Could you show me?)

Basically a person who believes that an ideology or dogma must be examined and verified to be believed.

Square bracket hyperlink word or phrase and add your URL between two rounded brackets like this [mighty ballbags in here] (http://blahblahballbag.cumdumpster.com), just make sure that the square bracket word and the round bracket URL have no space between, like this](

Im 100% scientologist :( .

Side: Yes, it's what I claim to be

It said I was a secular humanist. I don't really give a shit about humanism. It had non theist as second though, which is correct. Funny that, how agnostics will label themselves as "non theists" but then shy away from the label of "atheist".

Side: No, it's not what I say I am

Secular humanist, meh. Some scientology, I don't have any idea how my answers could have made me anything more that an atheist scumbag, but there you go.

Side: No, it's not what I say I am

There was a few questions where I didn't like the answer groupings, forcing me to pick the one over another or to pick one not applicable along with one that was, so the results are not accurate.

I agree, but that wasn't my goal in doing this. What quiz online is ever accurate?

Side: No, it's not what I say I am

It says I should be a Mormon. I'll notify my wife to expect a few more women to help around the house. In the mean time, I'm gonna knock on some doors ;)

Side: No, it's not what I say I am

lol Knocking on doors is the commission that Jesus gave all his followers just before he went back to heaven. That is the purpose. But if you knocked on a stranger's door, what would you talk to them about?

Side: No, it's not what I say I am

I would just go into my joe_cavalry routine and give him a hard time if he's a liberal and tell him that God wants him to convert ;)
