I've been reading through Red Red Whine's blog . Damn, it's depressing! That girl is so so funny, and she writes so well. And reading her posts just makes me want to delete everything and start again. Sigh.
One of her links is to a site that matches you up with different religions according to your answers and priorities on a whole bunch of questions (BeliefNet). This is what I ended up with, some surprises there!
1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
3. Liberal Quakers (98%)
4. Reform Judaism (96%)
5. New Age (88%)
6. Secular Humanism (88%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (82%)
8. Mahayana Buddhism (81%)
9. Theravada Buddhism (79%)
10. Sikhism (78%)
11. Bahá'í Faith (70%)
12. Jainism (69%)
13. Orthodox Quaker (68%)
14. Taoism (64%)
15. Orthodox Judaism (61%)
16. Scientology (59%)
17. New Thought (56%)
18. Islam (53%)
19. Nontheist (53%)
20. Hinduism (45%)
21. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (43%)
22. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (37%)
23. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (35%)
24. Seventh Day Adventist (32%)
25. Jehovah's Witness (25%)
26. Eastern Orthodox (24%)
27. Roman Catholic (24%)
So I guess mostly what it shows is that my religious/spiritual beliefs are just as confused and contrary as the rest of me. Actually, they change radically with mood, mostly depending on how close to dying I feel - the closer that is, the less I believe in any kind of redemption. When life is good, I like to think that we get to carry the points we earn here forward to another go round. That's kind of a self-serving range, isn't it?
