A Better Belief Quiz This quiz from BeliefNet is considerably more accurate and well thought out than the silly one I posted last week. I think we've passed it around here before, but it's been years and I'll bet many of us haven't taken it. Warning: BeliefNet assumes no legal liability for the ultimate eternal fate of your soul. PS: For what it's worth, I came out as a full fledged "Mainline to Conservative Christian / Protestant." That makes me 90% compatible with the Catholics, but only 88% compatible with the Orthodox Quakers. ;) Oh, and I've more in common with Islam (62%) than Mormons (50%) Or Liberal Quakers for that matter (46%)!

Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%) 2. Orthodox Quaker (93%) 3. Eastern Orthodox (92%) 4. Roman Catholic (92%) 5. Seventh Day Adventist (84%) 6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (82%) 7. Islam (69%) 8. Orthodox Judaism (69%) 9. Liberal Quakers (54%) 10. Bahá'í Faith (50%) |

re: A Better Belief Quiz Here's Me. Could it be that I am in the right denomination? That's kinda scary . . . I'll admit several of the questions were rather iffy--could have gone a couple of ways. Or maybe I didn't understand them properly. 1. Orthodox Quaker (100%) 2. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (94%) 3. Seventh Day Adventist (89%) 4. Eastern Orthodox (87%) 5. Roman Catholic (87%) 6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (77%) 7. Islam (58%) 8. Orthodox Judaism (58%) 9. Liberal Quakers (57%) 10. Bahá'í Faith (51%) |

re: A Better Belief Quiz Hmmm... trying to figure out why you guys are all more Quaker than me. Dan admitted that he hadn't answered the anti-violence questions in a classically Quaker matter, so that probably isn't it. Perhaps it was the question or two about sacraments and observations such as baptism. I may have answered those in a more Catholic manner than Quaker. Y'know, David occasionally jokes that he's more Catholic than 90% of the Catholics in America. According to this quiz, I may be too. :) |

re: A Better Belief Quiz So this is frightening... from one angle and encouraging from another, because it means there is basis for starting a discussion (based upon agreement of 50% or more) for the following belief systems. At the same time, I rate quite high as a Mormon. Perhaps I joined the wrong mission organization? I'm encouraged to think that starting a conversation with Orthodox, Catholics and Muslims is definitely not out of the question. These are the people in my neighborhood! 1. Orthodox Quaker (100%) 2. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (97%) 3. Seventh Day Adventist (92%) 4. Eastern Orthodox (79%) 5. Roman Catholic (79%) 6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (67%) 7. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (54%) 8. Islam (52%) 9. Orthodox Judaism |

re: A Better Belief Quiz Some of the responses at the beginning were too similar to really understand how they were different. But I guess I am at the right place, or rather, maybe baptists are more like quakers than we realize... 1. Orthodox Quaker (100%) 2. Seventh Day Adventist (97%) 3. Eastern Orthodox (97%) 4. Roman Catholic (97%) 5. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (96%) 6. Orthodox Judaism (71%) 7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (66%) 8. Hinduism (64%) 9. Islam (64%) 10. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (63%) |

re: A Better Belief Quiz I think you probably joined the right mission, Katy. Although your extremely high rating as an Orthodox Quaker gives me some ideas as to where would be a good place to attend church when you get back to the states . . . By the way, happy birthday, what, two days ago? Are you actually 30 now? Maybe I wasn't supposed to give that away. |
