| 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.

| 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.
