It's good to know this is still around. We used it a few years back on the JCF site. they say I am a UU. that's close, I guess. I was a practicing Episcopalian at the time. I should take it again, to see if it has changed. I'm sure it would come out something like New Age today.

OK, I need to find out about this neo-pagan thing. Last time, my high scores were UU and liberal/progressive Christianity. I seem to be moving eastward.

I tired to take it and gave up.

I am SDA.

They are not perfect and neither am I

I don't agree with everything they think or do.
They are inclined towards legalism.

I worship God and believe my salvation comes through Jesus.

I don't need to take it. I fit most closely with unitarian universalist because I believe that many religions have something positive to offer in our search for meaning. I consider it a search that may (not necessarily) end with the answers upon our death - or the next step in existence may just add more pieces.

I want to believe in a living God, a person figure who hears my pleas and a Bible as the word of that God and Christ as proof of the resurrection of us all. I cannot. It would be comforting to have such a simple and safe view to govern my life. Instead, I live with questions and seeking answers.

I do pray. I do meditate. I do see a life force in all living things. I do not know the source, but I think it is something powerful and beyond the comprehension of my small brain. Whatever exists, if it thinks about me at all realizes my thoughts are its creation as well.

This one is fun!
I also believe in creation-- I don't know how long it took God to do it and don't care.

These are strange results since I've participated in both Roman Catholic and Episcopal religions. But as Alice said, I truly believe in Jesus and feel his love for me.
