Beliefnet Belief-o-Matic

Posted on March 16, 2009 by arpritchett

So I stole this off of Brandon’s page.  I’m not quite the blogger that I used to be, so sorry about all that.  Special apologies to Andrew, who helped me set this thing up.

Anyway, I did the whole Belief-o-Matic quiz, and the results were about what I would have guessed about myself, with the exception of the #1 spot.  Here are the Top Ten listings.

1. Orthodox Quaker 99%

2. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant 96%

3. Eastern Orthodox 93%

4. Roman Catholic 93%

5. Seventh Day Adventist 92%

6. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) 63%

7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants 62%

8. Orthodox Judaism 59%

9. Hinduism 55%

10. Islam 54%

I read up on the Orthodox Quakers, because I was a little surprised that they were numero uno.  I think it’s because I don’t freak out about certain things as much as your conservative Protestants and I’m not too hot to trot on war all the time.

I’m not really sure how you can be higher in Hinduism than Islam when you’re a monotheist, but the survey isn’t necessarily canon.

You can take the test too, if you like.  Maybe you’ll be cool like Brandon and Jim, and score high in the Seventh Day Adventist category.

    All us Orthodox Quakers need to unite and form a Friends community.

    I was really sad that I scored higher in Hinduism than Orthodox Judaism. And I’m still wondering what I did to score so low (comparatively speaking) in the area where I actually belong – Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (fifth on my list).

    Hello, A Pritchett!

    Travis here, writer/director of the Ignatius video. Read your comment on the Internet Monk’s blog. So glad that you were encouraged by the video. That was our intent! Well, that, and to make people laugh. : – )

    I firmly believe that the lion’s share of kingdom work is being done by unheralded heroes behind the scenes and out of the limelight. In this day and age of Christian megastars…wether in book form, blog form, or on the stage, it’s easy to feel unrecognized. It’s good to remember that our trials and successes are noted by the only One that matters.

    You encouraged me with your comment. Just wanted to say thanks!
