Whilst looking for info on 2x2 after reading Moonpie's thread I came across :-

http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

Twenty questions used to determine which faith most closely matches your beliefs.

I won't post my results here as I cannot see a way to convert them to straight text and I don't trust some of the embedded links but the top three were :-

1) Reform Judaism (100%)

2) Liberal Quaker (96%)

3) Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestant (87%)

I really do not know what to make of it - might be silly, certainly not life changing but interesting (if biased) questions and makes you think.

See what you make of it.

1. !00%.-- Yzgintology (Now I just need a few followers)

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)

2. Secular Humanism (89%)

3. Liberal Quakers (87%)

4. Neo-Pagan (84%)

5. Theravada Buddhism (78%)

6. New Age (74%)

7. Mahayana Buddhism (71%)

8. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (71%)

9. Reform Judaism (55%)

10. Nontheist (52%)

not sure what all that means and I will be honest and say I didnt understand a couple of questions

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)

2. Orthodox Judaism (100%)

3. Unitarian Universalism (98%)

4. Bahá'í Faith (96%)

5. Islam (92%)

9. New Thought (86%)

11. Scientology (82%)

12. Mahayana Buddhism (81%)

13. Sikhism (80%)

14. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (77%)

15. New Age (75%)

16. Orthodox Quaker (72%)

17. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (65%)

18. Theravada Buddhism (65%)

19. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (64%)

20. Secular Humanism (54%)

24. Roman Catholic (54%)

25. Nontheist (47%)

26. Jehovah's Witness (39%)

27. Seventh Day Adventist (38%)

Strange the combinations it's coming up with.

And how can neo paganism and Orthadox Judaism both score 100% on one set of answers?

Stick with Yzgiology, it will soon all make sense.

I never heard of most of these religions.To be honest,I dont understand why there are so many.If folk believe there is a God,then does it matter what you call him.To my mind different religions cause conflict.My religion is never harm anyone,not because I will burn in hell if I do,it is called conscience.

thats what it said:(

Good God... Jess, you're such an extremist!

I'm aligned most closely to Secular Humanism, Liberal Quakers, Unitarian Universalism and Neo-Paganism and strongly misaligned with the Mormons, Islam, Orthodox Judaism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism and the Jehovah's Witnesses. I demand a recount.

Strange, on mine the Mainline to Liberal and Mainline to Conservative Christian protestants were poles apart.

Well I'm southern baptist, so I was shocked to see the Bahai faith first.

I was 100% neo pagan, furthest from Mormon.

They didn't have my actual religion, Hermeticism, as an option.

I'm surprised we all mainly agree on so many different topics, given these results.

Hmmm... some of the questions didn't have any answers I could agree with. This is fun but I don't think it means much.

You seem to be mostly not nontheist but I was virulently non-orthodox, for example (excuse the multiple negatives, it comes with the territory). Some questions are evidently designed as "what are you for" and others "what are you against". A strange quiz all round, that one.

How right you are, I'm definately not nonteist:wah: however, I'm not orthodox either. How can orthodoxy be immediately followed by liberal?

Your orthodox Quaker is a free-living hedonist compared to your Wee Free! These terms are spread across a very wide spectrum.

Lon, you match mine practically to the jot and tittle.
