Liberal quaker was in my top 5. WTF?

[Antlerman]

This is weird. Every now and then this poll comes up here. I last took it many years ago and it seems to make a degree of sense to where I was at, secular humanist/universalist. Now, as I take it it's almost the questions don't relate very well and when I try to answer as they present them it comes up with some strange category that doesn't fit at all. That is what was interesting in and of itself. It's like the whole thing was geared towards a certain spectrum of thought. I broke their test.

Uhhh, nontheist 90%? It's the same as "secular humanism" on the links. Hmmm!

[Argent]

My top five are:

 

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)

2. Mahayana Buddhism (94%)

3. Unitarian Universalism (90%)

4. New Age (86%)

5. Hinduism (81%)

 

Sounds about right. I consider myself agnostic with an inclination toward paganism/nature worship, heh.

[Spiritrebel]

I've taken this test ten or fifteen times over the last few years, and I always get a different answer, because spiritual reality is non-linear and not easily described by giving answers to a multiple choice test. So this time I decided to post the alternative answers and give my answer in as few of my own words as can .... and it usually includes several of the suggested answers, with elaborations or qualifications. I'm going to start out by posting just three answers, and if they draw interesting comments, I'll post more.

 

Q1. What is the number and nature of the deity (God, gods, higher power)? Choose one.

1 Only one God--a corporeal spirit (has a body), supreme, personal God Almighty, the Creator.

2 Only one God--an incorporeal (no body) spirit, supreme, personal God Almighty, the Creator.

3 Multiple personal gods (or goddesses) regarded as facets of one God, and/or as separate gods.

4 The supreme force is the impersonal Ultimate Reality (or life force, ultimate truth, cosmic order, absolute bliss, universal soul), which resides within and/or beyond all.

5 The supreme existence is both the eternal, impersonal, formless Ultimate Reality, and personal God (or gods).

6 No God or supreme force. Or not sure. Or not important.

7 None of the above.

IMO, the fourth answer has some appeal to me, because it's ambiguous enough to fit into the category of, "It means nothing, therefore it also means anything." But #6 gets a strong yes to the first part, meaning I'm definitely atheistic, but I feel quite sure about this and I consider it very important. But if I HAD to make a choice, it would be for #7, because I believe that disembodied human spirits have a profound influence over our lives on the Earth Plane ... but there's nothing superhuman or supernatural about them. And I place a high priority on this selection.

 

Q2. Are there human incarnation(s) of God (or of gods/goddesses)? Choose one.

1 God is (or gods/goddesses are) supreme, and no incarnations.

2 One incarnation.

3 Many (or countless) incarnations.

4 No particular incarnations because God is all and all are God (or God is in all).

5 No incarnations as there is no God. Or not sure. Or not important.

6 None of the above.

The only answer I can give to this one is #6, because people incarnate over and over, and no two of us are equal. Some people's souls have a lot more knowledge and skills than others, in or out of the body, which can create the illusion that gods or devils incarnate.

 

Q3. What are the origins of the physical universe and life on earth? Choose one.

1 As in the book of Genesis, God created a mature universe and mature life forms from nothing in less than 7 days, less than 10,000 years ago.

2 As in the book of Genesis, but 'day' is not 24 hours, possibly refers to thousands (or even millions) of years, or to creation phases.

3 God is creating and controlling the phenomena uncovered by scientists. Or there are other spiritual explanations, but not in conflict with scientific discovery.

4 All matter and life forms are manifestations (or illusions) of the eternal Absolute (Ultimate Truth, Universal Soul or Mind, etc.).

5 Only natural forces (like evolution) and no Creator or spiritual forces. Or not sure. Or not important.

6 None of the above.

Again, I have to answer #6, because I believe that the universe is in the process of creating itself by a process that defaults to operating by evolution based on random mutation and natural selection ... BUT I also believe that human beings live on an almost infinite number of worlds and that we have been trying to guide the course of evolution for several billion years, at least. And I believe that this puts certain elements of "intelligent design" into the mix.

[freespirit]

I was surprised when it said I was most like Baha'i. Now, I'm going to have to figure out what that is!

On a whim, I took it again.

I've taken this before, and I think this is the first time "New Age" was knocked down to 4. It's usually second, which is funny, because I scoff at a lot of "New Age" books I've found.

It's still a fun lil' quiz.

[Outlaw393]

Over a period of years, I have been tracing my ever-changing beliefs using this test. Today I took it again out of curiosity.

 

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)

2. New Age (85%)

3. Mahayana Buddhism (83%)

4. Theravada Buddhism (78%)

5. Unitarian Universalism (77%)

6. Reform Judaism (73%)

7. Liberal Christian Protestants (69%)

8. Orthodox Judaism (63%)

9. Taoism (52%)

10. Secular Humanism (46%)

11. Non-theist (37%)

12. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (33%)

13. Conservative Christian Protestant (33%)

14. Roman Catholic (28%)

 

I take the 27 possible results, filter out what I KNOW I'm not, and I'm left with 14 religions that I considered at one time or another. Neo-Pagan has been #1 for months and months. Possibly years. I attend a church and it's at 33%. Go figure?

[hecate]

100% neo-pagan makes sense to me. I was debating to join of the Wiccan communities in town

[TrailBlazer]

Oh wow! this was exactly the quiz I stumbled across that led me to admit to myself that I didn't believe. I was skeptical of a test which claims to be able to sort everyone neatly into a belief system based on their responses, but I answered the questions honestly, with an open mind anyway. It said I'm a Unitarian Universalist, a Humanist Quaker, or a Buddhist! I was hurt/shocked but strangely relieved to hear this.
