Interesting that in the original poll Christianity and Atheism were neck-and-neck, well outdistancing other beliefs. In this poll, syncretism has jumped out to an early lead. Do you suppose this reflects a change in the make up of the board, a change in indetification in response to the new terms, or simply that not enough people have yet responded?

How long ago was the original poll made? Can you link to it?

Dharmic, but possibly Dharmic syncretist, but still all Dharmic. I'm primarily Zen Buddhist, but I like to take inspiration from Hinduism and Sikhism as well, and even a little Taoism, although that last one isn't Dharmic.

I think it shows that I didn't consider how many people's religions is just a jumble of ideas from different ideologies. To be honest I am surprised. I should of made that it's own thing maybe, but I wanted hard and fast comparisons tbh without it gravitating towards one like this.

guess we will just have to wait for more votes lol. i voted Left Hand Path

Couldn't answer the poll.

The Carpenter has been my inspiration...but I have no congregation.
and no one follows me.

I suppose, for having quoted Him on various occasion....
I will end up meeting with Him.
And we will have that 'day of reckoning' you hear about now and then.

But that doesn't mean I'm Christian.
I simply, do unto others as I would have them do unto me.

Is there an "Other"??? I just believe in Love.

referring to both of these posts:

As it is I figured out some problems with the poll, and might remake it later if I start spotting a bunch of more errors in how it was laid out

Apparently a couple of the choices were not grouped really well :foot:

I think Jasonwill has already made it pretty clear why he isn't making the poll multiple choice, read the earlier posts.

Ya I was more thinking that if I re-did it I would change some the options around to be more inclusive of the people who didn't want to label as one of the major labels on there.

Hey, it has generated some discussion so the poll is valid. I know, lets start a poll on if we should start a new poll... Just click your choice below:

Should Jason start a new poll?
__No, this poll was sufficient
__Do Not start another poll
__No rly, don't even think about starting another poll
__Srsly, I mean it! Stay away from that phreakin' poll button, dude. We're watching you like a hawk!

:D :D :D
