So every couple of years I re-take the Belief-O-Matic quiz. It's not that I'm confused about what I believe or that I'm searching for a new faith, I just like to see what-if anything- is changing about my faith. Sometimes the results surprise me. The first time I took it, my number 1 result was Conservative Protestant Christian, somewhere around 70%. Not terribly surprising, given my background. I was a little surprised to discover that next in line was Reform Judaism... interesting. The last time I took it, I was finally a Mainline to Liberal Protestant, followed closely by Eastern Orthodox (what??) and apparently Bahá'í (really... what???). This time, you will all be pleased to know that finally, I have figured myself out. I am now 100% Mainline to Liberal Protestant. But thanks to Belief-O-Matic, if I ever have doubts about my Anglican-ness, I can always fall back on Quakerism.
I think my favorite part about my Belief-O-Matic results is the last three entries. It makes me chuckle a little to myself that I will stop believing in God altogether before I will become a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness. I mean, you know how much I love the Mormons, but you've got to admit that's pretty funny.
