Beleifnet Quiz


Have any of you taken the Belief net quiz on what religion you are? The Quiz is called Belief-o-matic. On a whim I decided to do it today. I realized that my beliefs are transforming. At one time I was very Christian but, as Christianity is changing into this sort of political party, I have found, at some point my beliefs have parted ways with Christianity as is depicted these days. Upon further study and reflection I no longer believe in hell, or in only one true faith. I think all faiths are valid and have their place.
If God is like the perfect father, then he would never reject one of his children because of the way he (or she) views him or shows him their love. A perfect father wants us to be happy without defining what happy is. He wants us to love him in what ever our capacity. What if someone doesn't acknowledge him because they don't believe he exists? As any father would be, he might miss their companionship but, would want them to also be happy. I do not believe God would punish anyone. He blesses everyone.
If there is a hell, it is here and we have made it so. We have put our so called beliefs above life. Sorry to be so preachy here, this quiz has put me in a contemplative mood.
My results were that I my beliefs are the most inline (100%) with Mahayana Buddhism. I thought that was pretty cool. I am planning on getting more informed on this.
