Several years ago, Rev. Becky Strang suggested a site, Belief.Net, thinking I might like it. I did. With all the SBC email garbage, I relocated the site and signed up again.
I seldom take the quizzes, but this one seemed to strike me as interesting: “What religion are you?” In the box below this title, it reads, “Belief-O-Matic Knows.” I laughed, thinking it was more like one of those carnival gimmicks where you put a quarter into a machine, place your palm on the ball, and presto!
So here is my quizz…. I had to chuckle… loving nature, believing in reincarnation of the spirit, not believing in Satan, and believing more along the lines of Lutherans (grace) placed me in some wild categories.
A Personality quiz about your religious and spiritual beliefs
Your Results
The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.
Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.
