A Quiz

Here's a personality quiz I took over at Belief-O-Matic Quiz answering questions about my religious and spiritual beliefs. Mind you, it's highly unscientific, only 20 questions, and some didn't have the answers written the way I would have answered. The results seem accurate enough if you paint with a broad brush, although I find quite distasteful the idea of labeling and stereotyping. I'm the one who decided to take the quiz though, figure that.

Something that drew my attention on this was how much similarity there must be between beliefs. How could I be 64% Buddhist? Perhaps we're not that different from one another in some of the core ideas.

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
