I scored 63...
Old-fashioned Seeker -- Happy with my religion but searching for the right expression of i
I think that's correct. Except, there is no religion for my beliefs.

I forgot to add that for myself my religion (Judaism) fits me perfectly.

Active Spiritual Seeker – Spiritual but turned off by organized religion

Seems pretty accurate.

I scored around the same, though lots of the questions were ones I have absolutely no opinion on or there wasn't a right answer for me. I'm open to the benefits of religion, and I like the idea that there's a higher power/powers. It's a horrible concept feeling that there's nothing else out there, even if it's just the vague dream of magic. Even very skeptic scientists tend to have fantasies of magic and science fiction.

Do I realistically believe there's much out there? Well, based on the facts I've seen, I think it's unlikely. But there enough weird events in the world and sometimes weird energy in certain places that I think there must be something. Seeing as every single human culture on this earth has found some sort of worship that follows very similar concepts, there must be something to it.

31. Spiritual Dabbler -- Open to spiritual matters but far from impressed

While I love the comforting idea of there being an afterlife, I just can't make myself believe it, so this is pretty accurate.

Yup, I had to go with "well I guess I'll go with this one" for a a lot of the questions.

I come from a religious background (Catholicism) and left the church about five years ago; so I'm still open to the existence of a higher being. All the doubts that I had throughout my years as a devout catholic eventually started to outweigh what I DID believe.

I think questioning existence is a lot more fun than blind faith.

86 - Confident Believer – You have little doubt you’ve found the right path.

Devout Lutheran (Missouri Synod), so this doesn't necessarily surprise me. Although, the questions and/or their answers did have a rationalist or mystic tone to them.

 

[curvyredhead]

Yeah. I had no opinions, or did not care about most of the questions...and felt like they almost did not apply to me.

I great deal of my issues have to do with that fact that while I am incredibly religious and up until recently have been very involved in my church...and intend on going back to that once I move back home (as I have not been able to do so in the places I have lived in the last couple years)...I do not believe in God or anything similar. Really any higher Power. I was raised in my church and if I ever had children (doubtful) I would raise them in my church as well. I am incredibly passionate about my beliefs...so much so, you might call be stubborn. But, I have never believed in any supernatural force, angels, demons, heaven, hell, god, devil and all of that.

My religion btw is Ethical Culture.

Active Spiritual Seeker – Spiritual but turned off by organized religion

 

[KylieJacobs]

I scored a 69.

I didn't like some of the answers because some of them didn't pertain to me. I would consider myself a spiritual person, I don't agree with most organized religions.

I believe in reincarnation and that we choose what we want to learn in each lifetime.

Sure I'm interested in religions and how they shaped our entire civilization, but that doesn't mean I'm reading about them because I'm questioning myself as they are implying. Practically the quiz is mocking those that are atheists, by not including the latter as a result of the test.

 

[LaceyRoyce]

Yeah this quiz pretty much gave the option of organized religion, or atheism.

It also required me, if i wanted to subscribe to believing in diety so say there was ONE and that he was male.


So.. I gave up. Cos I'm none of those things.

 

[AllisonWilder]

You scored 40, on a scale of 25 to 100. Active Spiritual Seeker – Spiritual but turned off by organized religion.


I'm not actively seeking anything spiritual in the sense that they mean, but I guess spirituality is open to all sorts of interpretation so it seems at least semi-accurate.

 

[Shaun__]

I scored a 29, but the available choices available did not really represent me.

 

[zippypinhead]

I found that I couldn't finish it because too many of the questions didn't have answers that would adequately fit with my actual response. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. Of course, I can't see how a four-point multiple choice about something like beliefs -- bias aside -- could ever be sufficient.

 

[eastonb]

Old-fashioned Seeker here too

 

[Sevrin]

Old-fashioned Seeker here too

Old-fashioned spammer is more like it.

 

[LadyLuna]

I ended up with old-fashioned seeker. There were a few answers where none really applied, so I picked the closest. The one about what the afterlife is, my actual belief is a mixture of two choices (I believe those who are pure-hearted go on to "heaven", that those who need some more work have the option to be reincarnated or go to purgatory, and those who are evil beyond redemption are scattered and cease to exist.) As to the higher power, I believe it exists, I believe it set the universe in motion and decided what physical laws would apply, but I believe it mostly stands by and lets happen. No real answer to cover that in any of the questions that covered it. I believe in spirits that are not us, but are good (angels), evil (demons) and neutral (sprites), and that they occasionally do act on this world but mostly reside in another.

I think I had a different definition of "faith" than they did for the question about "what is it important for?" bit, because later they used faith to equal which specific religion you ascribe to. I was using... well, Shepherd Book from Firefly said it best in Serenity "Why is it that when I talk about belief you always assume I'm talking about God?" Faith is important, but faith in WHAT is the key here. It's important to have faith in something, be it an ideal, or a code to live by, or other people. That doesn't mean it has to be faith in God.

I'm not actually searching for the right religion for me, because I don't believe it exists, and I don't think organized religion is all that necessary. I think organized religion creates more barriers, and generates more hate, rather than generating more love. But I will probably try to at least take my children to a church because we don't yet have morality classes for kids that aren't connected to a church. Someone should start those...

37. I'm with you while I'd like to come back as pampered cat,or a pretty girl in my next life.. I don't really believe it. Still I am sure trying to build up positive Karma can only be good.

 

[Shaun__]

Still I am sure trying to build up positive Karma can only be good.

I try to make the world a better place, because I do not believe in the afterlife. If this is all we have, I think we should make it as pleasant as possible.

 

[Poker_Babe]

Some of these multiple choice answers where difficult for me to choose just one. On some of them, I felt like I could choose at least two that I felt applied to me. But I just picked the one I felt applied most. I'm not so sure I agree with the score though, but this was the result I got after taking the quiz...

I scored an 85.
Confident Believer – You have little doubt you’ve found the right path

 

[lexmark402003]

I scored 30 "spiritual dabbler."

Normally, I find religion (all of them) to be ridiculous myth (because, well, they are). However, I recently accepted the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM, or "God") as the creator of the Universe, and believe that the FSM "gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Yes, Jesus Christ is the son of the FSM.

Praise be to the FSM!

Ramen!

Ugh... I hate it when people bash other's spiritual beliefs and talk about them as if they were morons for ever believing in such a thing.

It's the nature of the internet for anons to say crap that they wouldn't say to your face. Let him have his fun. Just wait till he reads that new medical study that proves that spaghetti monsters cause cancer! :mrgreen:

I'm not satisfied with the results the quiz gives but eh

idk if that makes sense
