I find these quizzes interesting because I’m really a bit of an eclectic in my religious beliefs and practices. How will they peg my path? Not easy. Let’s see… Belief-O-Matic thinks I’m a Neo-Pagan. <\/p>\n

The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Another quiz at QuizFarm<\/a> rates me differently – despite the narrative, the scores are tied between Buddhism and Judaism – they say I’m a Buddhist Jew.<\/p>\n

You scored as Judaism<\/b>. Your views are closest to those of Judaism. If you are not a Jew, do more research on Judaism and possibly consider becoming one; however, realize that conversion to Judaism is difficult. Judaism was the first of the Abrahamic faiths; it precedes both Christianity and Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n

Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)<\/a>
\ncreated with QuizFarm.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s one from ZenHex<\/a> – I’m a pagan occultist – hee-hee. The quiz itself had me laughing.<\/p>\n

Take the quiz: “WHAT RELIGION BESTS SUITS YOU?”
<\/a>
Pagan\/Occultist<\/b>
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Spending your entire life searching various forms of philosophy and religion, you choose to observe everything and believe little. You’re personality is one of truth seeking, nature respecting and god\/goddess accepting. Lastly, you don’t judge anyone, but if annoyed, you will exact some form of revenge. You don’t believe in the Three-Fold Law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
