Alessandro17 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 So far we all seem to have one thing in common: we all score very low with Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Jehovah's Witness. If this is a generalized trend the Roman Catholic Church should be very worried. Funny, I always thought of myself as pretty atheistic. Unitarian Universalism seems kinda like a "religion for everyone"... where there's no set beliefs. I wouldn't mind that. You score also quite high with Buddhism, Liberal Christian Protestants and Neo-Pagans. (Buddhism isn't really a religion). I imagine if I was more careful with the priority level the results would have come back differently. Either way, this was interesting. (btw im not a Jew. Maybe I should be?) I left the priority levels untouched. I don't know very much about Reform Judaism, maybe I should learn more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro17 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 I took the test again, I answered more carefully and I used priorities. This are my new results: 1. New Age (100%) 2. Neo-Pagan (94%) 3. Mahayana Buddhism (93%) 4. Unitarian Universalism (88%) 5. New Thought (87%) 6. Liberal Quakers (82%) 7. Scientology (82%) 8. Hinduism (79%) 9. Taoism (75%) 10.

Jehovah's Witness (15%) As you can see New Age and Neo-Pagan are still the top ones. However this time I scored higher with Mahayana Buddhism, much to my satisfaction. I was also happy to score even lower with with Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Jehovah's Witness. I keep scoring quite high with Scientology, but I have always believed that I have nothing in common with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ramm Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Warning: Belief-O-Matic™ assumes no legal liability for the ultimate fate of your soul. That was one of the stupidest things I have ever read. I was going to do it, until I read that. Since when is there legal liability for fate?

Since when is there legal liability for fate? Of course that is a joke. And to be quite honest, the whole matter shouldn't be taken too seriosly. That is why I didn't put it in the Real Life section of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it must be better than proving that you can count in the [Random] 9999 Replies? In any case, even if you are an atheist you'll have some set of moral values...
