Has anyone ever taken this quiz on Beliefnet.com? I've taken it a couple of times over the years and always come out 100% neo-pagan. Not sure if I agree with that, but who cares since I don't believe in labels. Interesting, though. They also have a bunch of other quizzes.

Hello Roier, misssed you

[Roier]

Ty.

I could say that I missed you too, but I haven't stopped reading, hehe.

I feel that I don't have to much to say anymore, but IS is still a nice source of interesting things.

Thank you for missing me, I will miss you too the day you stop writing, as I do miss so many that don't write anymore.

[Charity]

The first question puzzled me for the longest time. I rarely think about it. I like that I got Eastern Orthodox as second, because I am definantly a Slavophile.

wow never woulda picked an indigo as a scientolgist

[sshenry]

wow never woulda picked an indigo as a scientolgist

yeah, me either!

Still trying to figure how they rated me on that one

*shrugs*

That's the problem with lables.

[sshenry]

Actually - it probably has to do with my answer that reality is all an illusion (which I do believe) but which they interpret as saying that I'll try to pray my daughter's headache away instead of giving her tylonol or something.

Ah well.

[sshenry]

Interesting - I went back through the questions - answering almost exactly the same as I did before - only paying closer attention to my selection of "level of importance" and got the results below (which are actually far closer to reality!)

Shocker. I first took this quiz probably 9 or 10 years ago, with the same results. I think it's pretty accurate; the "levels of importance" really effects the outcome. I don't consider myself a Hindu, but I do consider myself a follower of the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, so maybe that makes me Hindu? I'm open to non-dualism from other belief-systems as well (such as Gnosticism or New Thought Christianity).

[Shankara]

It wasn't so long ago was it? Maybe time is speeding up!

[UntoldGlory]

I took this quiz a while back and got Orthodox Quaker, followed by New Age ~_~

I should take it again and see how my beliefs have evolved....
