Default What kind of believer are you?

Here are some quizzes and my own results:

Theologically, I come in as a Unitarian Universalist here: http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

Here I am http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=43870 :
Emergent/Postmodern 96%
Modern Liberal 93%
Classical Liberal 82%

and here http://beliefnet.com/section/quiz/in...02&surveyID=83 I am a 150 - 249
You are a Hillary Rodham Clinton Christian (a.k.a. "Left-Leaning Traditionalist") although to be honest I didn't think much of this particular quiz.


Politically: I come in to the south and west of Gandhi here: http://politicalcompass.org/

Test I
1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
2. Orthodox Quaker (96%)
3. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (86%)

Test II
1. Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 89%
2. Emergent/Postmodern 79%
3. Neo orthodox 75%

Test III
381...but then that test was quite strange. I had a friend who considers himself quite liberal take this test, and he scored 349. I think most Christians who've read the Bible will score quite high.

Political Compass:
Economic Left/Right: 5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.33

60 - 149 You are a Bishop Spong Christian (a.k.a. "Biblical Revisionist").
Economic Left/Right: -6.13

On the chart, I'm closest to Ghandi, the Dalai Lama, and Nelson Mandala.

I was interested in how I would score, mainly because I have 'Changed directions' (from a religious point of view) since joining the Forum. As far as I can see, there has been a 'shift' since I last took these tests, some while back, but I still seem to be 'muddled'. Someone unmuddle me, please!!

Quiz 2
You are a classical liberal. You are sceptical about much of the historicity of the Bible, and the most important thing Jesus has done is to set us a good moral example that we are to follow. Doctrines like the trinity and the incarnation are speculative and not really important, and in the face of science and philosophy the surest way we can be certain about God is by our inner awareness of him. Discipleship is expressed by good moral behaviour, but inward religious feeling is most important.

Classical Liberal 86%
Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 75%
Emergent/Postmodern 61%
Charismatic/Pentecostal
54%
Neo orthodox 54%
Modern Liberal 50%
Reformed Evangelical 36%
Fundamentalist 32%
Roman Catholic 18%

I have never thought of myself as a liberal... I think I'm confused!

At least I got my church right!

Hey Terry, I notice we come out very similarly on the first one, which, in my opinion, is the most accurate.

Number 1

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (99%) 3. Liberal Quakers (95%) 4. Neo-Pagan (85%) 5. New Age (82%) 6. Mahayana Buddhism (77%) 7. Theravada Buddhism (75%) 8. Sikhism (75%) 9. Hinduism (73%) 10. New Thought (70%)

Okay... what????????? - Christian 100%??? I don't believe in God or that Jesus was the son of God but that seems to be of no object to this quiz. How very strange.

I know I have strange beliefs for a Neo-Pagan though so thats no surprise.

Can't do quiz number 2 or 3

Quiz number 4

Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62


Changed a bit, less Libertarian but more left I think. I'm starting to lose faith in these lines however, since I think that in certain issues, they need to be redefined. For example, my view on abortion sends me to the authortarian side of things. However, I feel I am protecting the right of the child and therefore I view my stance as no more authortarian as condemning murder.
