The religion quiz!
on: May 05, 2006, 06:58:42 PM
I was bored, so decided to do a religion test. Post your results here!




Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.

Someone please find an other way to efficiently post the result, rather than above rapeage of the layout.

I though statanism was a joke. Just like scientology. It is funny to see that religions that people invent as jokes actually become real religions.

Satanism was not invented as a joke. Of course all people with enough intelligence to understand that there is no God and no Satan would think of it as a joke.

Anyway:
atheism:96%   
Paganism:92%   
Satanism:88%   
Islam:50%   
agnosticism:42%   
Buddhism:38%   
Judaism:25%   
Christianity:8%   
Hinduism:0%

I do find this quiz a bit questinabel. I am 100% atheist. And altough I think that people should be nice to eachother doesn`t mean that I am christian.

Satanists do not worship, or even believe in the existance of, satan. They merely use the name as an icon. To piss off christians because satanism is a reactionary movement of people, or messed up teenagers, against christianity, meaning society and their parents. Satanism can only exist in a place where christianity is the dominant religion.

I think atheism should have been excluded from the test. Atheism has nothing to do with how one lives ones life or what one believes. It only means you do not believe in god.
I frowned on some of the questions thinking "I hope they interpret my answer the right way."

Apprerently you answered one question in a way that does not follow the answers an 'true atheist' should answer.

I am a 83% atheist. That should mean that I only believe for 83% that god does not exist. At least that could be an interpretation. I wonder which questions influenced the atheist score.

You scored as agnosticism.  


 
You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof). Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

'I'm not sure now, so I guess we'll all figure it out once we die.' Isn't this kind of hinting at the fact that you believe in life after death if you agree completely with it?

'Jesus is God.' And this one is stating that Jesus is his own Father....isn't that a bit incestious?

hmmmm... I find this somewhat interesting.  Of course, most of the questions were not worded correctly (not dimensional enough for me)  ;).  And, these are merely labels  ;), and most times I agreed only in part, or on one level with what was being asked.  I had to answer a tie-braker question at the end.

It is generally acceptet by christians that God, Jesus and the holy spirit are the same, in other words Jesus is God and God is Jesus.

I guess it is not unfair to say that the trinity is confusing. The christian idea of god is that of a trinity. God has three indivual personalities, or entities. The father, the son and the holy spirit. Together they are God.

I am not really sure if 'the father' is 'the lord' or that the trinity itself is 'the lord'.



But it is also clear that this test is rather poor. I mean asking: "I'm not sure now, so I guess we'll all figure it out once we die." to find out if someone believes in the afterlife doesn't really show elegance. It seems that the question can only be answered with 'yes' by people that are agnosts that do believe in the afterlife. I do not really see how this fits in with the possible results.

Mephisto, to me Lucifer isn't really the same as Satan. But you are right. I have not read the books of LaVey but it seems clear that this particular movement of satanism, the original version, is made to match christianty as a reactionary movement. In theory the same could happen in a Jewish and Islamic society. But as for now it has not happened, at least as far as I know. It seems that people in Islamic societies that prefer a more relaxed way of living convert to Christianity. Judaism has many flavors of its own. So I don't see satanism as a reactionary movement in either Jewish or Islamic societies.

seems a bit odd that I can have similar levels of judaism and atheism.  No quiz like this can ever be accurate, it basically was right with me in that I am an agnostic.  It's true some questions could be taken different ways though

Interesting...

You scored as Christianity.
Your views are most similar to those of Christianity. Do more research on Christianity and possibly consider being baptized and accepting Jesus, if you aren't already Christian.  Christianity is the second of the Abrahamic faiths; it follows Judaism and is followed by Islam. It differs in its belief of Jesus, as not a prophet nor historical figure, but as God in human form. The Holy Trinity is the concept that God takes three forms: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost (sometimes called Holy Spirit). Jesus taught the idea of instead of seeking revenge, one should love his or her neighbors and enemies. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to save humankind and forgive people's sins.

You can get up to a 100 on each. So you shouldn`t add them all to getter, For instance you can be 100% pagan and 100% satanist.

He must have believed in a Spinozan god, like most of the religion scientists. This says that god has no personality and that she is the mechanism of nature and the universe.

The test isn't very good anyway. Besides confusing morality and virtuosity with religion (which messes up all the percentages -- i.e. you can be completely atheistic and still practice virtue and morality), it also treats Satanism as a serious religion. Give me a break.

Not sure why it made Agnosticism and Judaism equal.  Probably because I said the existence of God can't be proven.  But I'm not an agnostic.

if you are a christian you cannot accept that any of the other religions would cloud your beliefs.  God says that His name is I AM.  Father.  Son.  Gives the Holy Spirit (mind of God) to all who come to Him.  it isn't a closed trinity as many think - but is open to the FAMILY that God is bringing in as 'firstfruits.'  a HARVEST of people.  not of a closed three.  this sneaky addition is what stymes people into connection with the other religions. 

Jesus Christ was ONE with God because of the Holy Spirit's work and His perfect life.  He came to do His Father's will.  He tells us to follow Him as He follows the Father.  this shows the importance of baptism and the need for us to have Him INDWELL with us.  it is a conscious choice and one that Christ made when he was around 30 years old.  that would be old enough to know that 'vows' made would be remembered and kept by God.  basically we vow to have Jesus Christ become our Lord and Master (instead of Satan).  we only have two choices.  one, or the other.  not both.

Yes, that one seems to describe me more accurately. As I too am a complete atheist, I suppose outfits such as the Quakers, Mainline and so on simply share a lot of my views about pragmatic and moral matters unconnected with supernaturalism.

As much as I hate to say it, the first quiz was crap... But it has a nice statistical distribution: If you select all the middle options, you get almost everything 50%, if you always agree, you get almost everything 100%, if you disagree with everything, nearly all the religions are at 0%.

The other one is, I think, way better, because Reform Judaism, as described there, actually does reflect the vast majority of my views. It's also interesting that, although being brought up in a Roman Catholic enviroment, it scored only 41%...

Also interesting is that I scored quite high in Islam both in this and in the other test, which even put Islam to the first place, however, I haven't so far considered my beliefs to be in accordance with Islam. Perhaps it's just all the misinformation that's now flying around...

1.  Reform Judaism (100%) 
2.  Sikhism (96%)                                 Funny. Never heard of this religion before.
3.  Orthodox Judaism (89%) 
4.  Islam (86%) 
5.  Bahá'í Faith (81%)                          Same as Sikhism.
6.  Liberal Quakers (76%)

The religion one:

You scored as Buddhism.     

Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.
