For a rare combination of thought-provoking tongue-in-cheek, this is fun:

The "Belief-o-matic":
http://beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

I rate as "Mainline to Conservative Christian Protestant" and "Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestant" - its a virtual tie (sometimes when I take the quiz one comes up, sometimes the other).

Enjoy,

Scott

P.S. Sorry, OT'ers, the Belief-o-matic currently does not question you on your view of divine foreknowledge.

I was actually looking for the bass-o-matic and turn a wrong turn.

My Results:
The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches my beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that my views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.

Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with my professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with my thinking.

Here our the 'Top 10'

Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
Seventh Day Adventist (81%)
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (79%)
Jehovah's Witness (79%)
Orthodox Quaker (77%)
Eastern Orthodox (74%)
Roman Catholic (74%)
Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (62%)
Orthodox Judaism (47%)
Islam (44%

Imagination projects unreal images out of the mind and seeks to attach reality to them. Faith creates nothing; it simply reckons upon that which is already there.

YES, I'm completely surprised Mephi. Maybe it was due to the fact that you took the test at 4 am. Smile
