This is the resurrection of an HP thread which was extremely popular a few years back, but largely lost I think in changes to the software.
At www.beliefnet.com there's a really great questionaire which only takes maybe 20 minutes to complete, but the results you get, most people find, are extremely revealing. On this thread, the idea is, as last time, that if you are willing to, post in the entire result you get, and any thoughts you have about that.
The link is http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx
I'll do it myself again in time, out of interest to see if things have changed.
Last time I scored a whopping 97% as being a Hindu, though I don't quite think of myself as Hindu, but it's the nearest religion to me that they cater for. Just about everyone on HP, like me, scored very low for the obvious faiths such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and even Christianity.
Anyway, there's the link, give it a go, and post in your results and thoughts about them. 🙂

OK, I did it and it was very quick - about 10 minutes. My results have changed a bit from last time: here we go:
------------------------
Your 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 your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your 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 your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.

No surprises there to me about the very lowest-ranking. Sorry, Judy, that I only get 50% for CS. (What was it last time?) But since I score 100% at Mahayana Buddhism, though we all have to take these results with a pinch of salt, I will look into it.
However, I am not a seeker and already have, and have had for 35 years, my own Path not included here. But it's interesting all the same. 🙂
Who goes next?
V

Can't c'n'p from the results screen and too lazy to type it all, sorry 😉
I'm sure I've done this questionnaire before but some time ago. I'm fairly sure my results have changed since then. As with any questionnaire of this kind, in many cases I could only choose the closest answer to what mine would be as my own answer was not an option.

Frankly, I've never seen myself as "New Age" and am surprised at the 100% Neopagan result, in fact my opinions on some subjects are often unpopular with your average pagan! It makes me laugh that Scientology is fairly high on there, someone once tried to get me to join the Scientologists right up until I told him I was a hypnotherapist 🙂
Welcome back V! :1kis:
I remember the first time I did this, I was feeling beligerent and as they had not included the "right" questions for CS, I ignored them and I came out as 100% Jewish and 98% Muslim (and only about 48% CS) !! 😀
OK, so next time, I answered them as they wanted me to answer them (though it wasn't an accurate representation) and I came out 100% Christian Science.
I see that you are rather inclined to Scientology! :rolleyes:
Love and peace,
Judy
