http://www.beliefnet.com/index/index_10000.html --- go to quizzes Christians catholics muslim jews general spirit ME You are a progressive Muslim. You are a devout believer in God, and Islam is your direct path to Him. You understand Islam mainly through your intellect. You probably interpret Islam historically and might believe that ijtihad should be reopened. You have probably gone through years of questioning to come to the understanding of Islam that you have now. You might receive criticism for what are perceived as your open views (oh and if this deserves to be in the D&D, go ahead and move it... thx and sorry)
I'm a progressive catholic! (funny...only times i've been to church over the last 15 years were to attend weddings and funerals...and i disagree with them on most social issues), But...if i read it on the internet, it must be true. (and are catholics not christian???).
i'm a Spiritual Dabbler -- Open to spiritual matters but far from impressed. But i'm not sure wich test you did, i did the last test of your post.
Mahayana Buddhism (100%) (what a shock) http://www.beliefnet.com/story/80/story_8045_1.html Mahayana Buddhism (like Theravada Buddhism) posits no Creator or ruler God. However, deity belief is present in the Mahayana doctrine of The Three Bodies (forms) of Buddha: (1) Body of Essence--the indescribable, impersonal Absolute Reality, or Ultimate Truth that is Nirvana (Infinite Bliss); (2) Body of Bliss or Enjoyment--Buddha as divine, deity, formless, celestial spirit with saving power of grace, omnipotence, omniscience; and (3) Body of Transformation or Emanation--an illusion or emanation in human form provided by the divine Buddha to guide humans to Enlightenment. Any person can potentially achieve Buddhahood, transcending personality and becoming one with the impersonal Ultimate Reality, which is Infinite Bliss (Nirvana). There are countless Buddhas presiding over countless universes. Bodhisattvas--humans and celestial spirits who sacrifice their imminent liberation (Buddhahood) to help all others to become liberated--are revered or worshipped as gods or saints by some.
I adhere to the Groucho Marx/Woodie Allen mantra... I wouldn't belong to a religion that would accept me as a member.
Unitarian Universalists (100%) I found this interesting Seventh Day Adventist (9%) - This was the religion my father and his family practiced.
You are a Haroseth Jew. Like this Passover fruit and nut mixture, your Jewish identity can take any number of forms, each blending tradition and innovation. Your cultural and ethnic ties to Judaism are stronger than your religious ones. Your religiosity and Jewish identity often revolve around holidays, lifecycle events, and other special religious times are important to you. Pretty much sums it up for me. Thanks for posting the links, adeelsiddiqui!
You are a "recovering" (alienated) Catholic You are seriously alienated from the church, whose official teachings and hierarchical structure have strayed far from what Jesus envisioned, in your opinion. You agree with criticisms leveled at the church by writers like Garry Wills and you appreciate the religious satire in movies like "Dogma." ----------------------------------------------------- Yet I still attend Mass. Imagine that. Along with "Dogma", which I love, I highly recommend the book "Lamb: the Gospel of Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal."
