I think it was the The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council - Dedicated to "The Immaculate". The greatest gathering at any Council in the history of the Church. Then again, I could be wrong. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

That was a snide and thoroughly unnecessary comment, ben, even if it was meant as a joke.

You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.

I can't be bothered to do this quiz properly. 1. There are 54 questions!! 2. The quiz seems to make no distinction between "disagree" and "N/A" 3. The quiz is imbalanced and there are no allowances for subtlety (e.g. "Religion is naive and misinformed" - what, all religions? all people who practice religion? and what about naive and misinformed atheism, why no question on this?) 4. In the second part of the quiz you are forced to choose between two statements, both of which have embedded within them unacceptable assumptions. It's like being asked "when did you stop beating your wife". "You are an agnostic [...] Paganism 17% agnosticism 17% Judaism 0% Christianity 0% Islam 0% Hinduism 0% Satanism 0% atheism 0% Buddhism 0%" -------------------- Everything I know about the Avernum Trilogy: [ A1 | A2 | A3 ] Posts: 1104 | Registered: Monday, March 10 2003 08:00 |

I disagreed with all the statements except one. This is because there is no option for "N/A, I don't accept the premise of this question/the form of the question prejudices the answer/the question subject to more than one interpretation". Disagreement was the next best option.

Zeviz probably has a point, but I think a fair amount of my criticism will remain even after making allowance for it. Religions differ from each other more profoundly than people familiar only with one (or none) tend to imagine. They differ not just on the answers they propose, but on the questions they consider. For instance, as a Christian first studying Islam, I found myself thinking, "What! It's as though Islam isn't really a religion at all!" Obviously this was a silly reaction, but I was shocked to find that the Christian preoccupation with individual otherworldliness was barely present in Islam at all, and instead there was this immense emphasis on society and politics, which Christianity has generally dismissed as ephemeral at best. So there is an inevitable crudeness to a test like this one. I mean, come on. A test that assigns practically everyone substantial percentages in practically every faith has clearly got some major limitations in the way it distinguishes between religions.

quote:My admittedly poor understanding of religion is that it was a tool used to advance civiilization to the level that it exists today. That might even make a fair thesis for some anthro grad. Something like, the level of civilization is directly proportional to the level of organization in religion and the number of adherents. That random thought aside, the Qur'an (like the Bible) is a guidebook for living a happy and productive life. Life in Muslim strongholds (thinking Northern Africa and Middle East) was developed under a nomadic tribal system, and the Qur'an tells how to "get along" under those restrictions. The Bible was written by more stationary groups of people, with different goals in mind, and reflects that mindset. Another random thought. I think we are all familiar with the fact that Christianity was spread around the globe through the active work of missionaries. Is there any such device used to spread Islam? If not, as I suspect, doesn't that alone show that the Islamic faith is based more on attraction than persuasion? *this message sponsored by the wooden spoon manufacturers guild* Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Less questions, but more religions? I can only guess it is more arbitrary then... but indeed more interesting. This Unitarian Universalism sounds interesting, too. And I do identify somewhat with Quaker ideals after reading about them. 1. Unitarian Universalism (100%) 2. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (95%) 3. Neo-Pagan (94%) 4.

Eastern Orthodox (19%) 26. Islam (19%) 27. Roman Catholic (19%) Seems accurate enough, although all religions in the quiz seem to be described from the perspective of some sort of Christianity. I may look further into this Unitarian Universalism. Roman Catholicism, my very least favorite religion, is appropriately at the very bottom. EDIT: Actually, from the quiz's description, UU seems to be nothing but a vague collection of all religions. It basically says, for every section, "Everyone believes different things, and it's not required to believe in any certain thing to be a Unitarian Universalist", except the Contemporary Issues section, where it basically just describes an American liberal. So apparently, Universal Unitarianism is not so much a religion as it is a half-assed attempt to make liberalism appeal more to conservatives. So why is it even on this quiz? It makes no sense! So eliminating that, the top of the list is "Liberal Quaker". I am not a Quaker (although I certainly don't dislike those who are), therefore this quiz just generally does not apply to me. I'll just stick to nondenominationalism. I try to hold ideas rather than beliefs, and I think I've been reasonably successful in doing that. I've already experienced the horrible depression and confusion of losing a closely-held belief system, and I'd rather not have to go through it again. I personally like the freedom of being able to come up with whatever ideas interest me at the time, and being able to change those ideas at my leisure.

It does seem more flexible, given that one can assign priorities. Edit - UU is for those people that like the idea of a community of friends that share through common religious feelings. As such, it is inclusive rather than exclusive. I believe the test isn't assigning a religion to your beliefs, but is actually saying that members of each listed faith share some percentage of your personal beliefs. You (ADoS) may share many of the UU and Quaker beliefs because they are much less formal and more open to partisan interpretation than the RC or OJ beliefs. I know quite a few UU's, and there are many UU's in your area, so it is not surprising at all that us New Englander's should share some of the belief set that exists within the UU church. Hope that was somewhat less than completely useless. *this message serves as a reminder to sacrifice another goat tomorrow* [ Saturday, August 06, 2005 12:55: Message edited by: Jumpin' Salmon ] Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |
