I don't always reply when it comes to the quiz results, but this one just
tickled me Elmo. That and I am hopped up on Oriental medicine. I am
*insert drumroll here* an athiest. Yes, you got that right. An athiest.
A deeply spiritual athiest, mind you... I'd make a great chaplain for other
athiests who have lost their lack of faith.

i wish that there were more of these quizes that asked "what kind of
buddhist are you?" and "which pantheon do you serve?" and "which Hindu god
wants your offering?" and "what ancestor is cleaning your kitchen?" Always
being told that there is only one religion (xian) and that there are only
ways to be not-xian gets dull.
I mean really. We have had "which xian hell are you going to?" and "what
kind of "unbeliver" are you" recently. To me it just reinforces the idea
that so many poeple in america grew up with that the xian god is the only
god and that there is a hell for you if you dont behave.
oh yeah, and athesist was my score. and like mono, i feel some small urge
to say something about myspirituality to refute the connotations of
athiest.

Oh-kay...one of the results is Christian...and I got it. And I am
Christian. Funny how that works out.
I just get kind of sick of people thinking that intolerant Christians are
the only kind out there. I guess it's because the Southern Baptists are so
friggin' loud and ignorant. *sigh* Leave it to the SBC and RC child
molestors to ruin it for any normal people who just happen to believe in
Christ,
My question is, if this is a quiz to decide how Anti-Christian you are, why
is Christian an option?

maybe because at last count there are some 400 flavors of christian and 200
of them are highly and vocally anti the other 200?
And dont push it all off on the southern baptists and catholics (roamn or
otherwise) since the Anglicans can be a rabid bunch and the Episcipalians
(sp?) love a good fight. The lutherans have thier hate crimes to face in
the courts too. I could go on, but it gets so tiring to talk about how
rabid some twigs of that branch of religion are.
And just because you belive in "Christ" doesnt mean that other people that
believe in "Christ" thing you are a "good" chrisian. so maybe the test was
to see if you are a "bad" Christian or a "good" Christian....

I got "you are a nothing" which means I could care less whether or not
there's a god. It said I'm the worst christian offender because everyone
else has the possibility of being converted, where as I'm completley
untouchable.
So am i going to hell or something?

Callei, I was raised in the SBC...they are about the most ignorant and
hateful people I've ever encountered. I guess that makes mea hypocrite for
being angry about intoelrant sects of Christianity ruining it for the
tolerant ones. *shrug*
I think it's sad that people talk about how Christ is supposed to bring joy
and unity to all peoples...then they go out and attack people for not
believing what they do.
I'll work to overcome my own prejudices. Sorry.

LC i didnt mean to be harsh there, but really there are lots of different
branches of that religion and some consider other branchs to be misgiuded,
some deranged, and some led by the anti-christ. most of them say that all
you need to be a Christian is to believe that a) Christ died for your sins
b) that Christ is your savior or c) that the bible is the whole truth.
(these seem to be the three main branchs to me at least)
they dont "believe" the same things, have the same moral codes, or really
have much in common other than calling thier god "GOD", and thier holy
texts "bible". they dont use the same bible, (there are some 600 versions
of the bible in print in English alone) and they dont believe that other
branches are the same as themselves, Christian.
The point i was trying to make at first is that the Christian faith group
is one of the loudest, but not one of the biggest in the world. it is one
of the most violent and cruel both to its followers and everyone else. Im
tired of people trying to frame the world thru the eyes of some (relativly)
tiny cult and trying to shade perception of others to make it seem larger
and more importnat that it really is.
If you faith says that you have to forgive those that abused you, then yah
try to find forgiveness for the southern baptists that wronged you. dont
make excuses for them, or anyone else. If your faith says resiste them at
every turn, then have at!
Just please dont make some whiny plea that i have to be nice to you (or
anyone else) jsut because someone they think existed a long time ago got
nailed to some wood for pissing off the powers that were.

Lol...Mormons are heretics!? That cracks me up how a lot of the

so yeah they are heritics since they still say they too are christians.
Funny huh?

Callei, you make very good points, as always. And no, I don't think you
should have to be nice to anyone based on what they do or don't believe. I
don't expect people to like me because of my faith. Hell, I'm more likely
to get flamed for it.
I'm not even sure that I qualify as a genuine "Christian," since I don't
adhere to any denomination. I just have my own personal belief. That's
all.
What people do or don't believe is their business. I just happen to like
learning about other people's belief systems, and how they cope when stuff
happens. My personal thing is that people have a right to believe whatever
they want, and I, believing as I do, need to respect those beliefs.
In turn, I need to extend that to the denominations of Christianity that
really piss me off.
As for Mormons, I think they're really onto something. 90% of the Mormons
I have encountered are very intelligent, civil, well-mannered, and
thoughtful people. They tend to keep to themselves, but they respect a
person's rights to believe as they wish, which is a very cool thing. But
that could jsut be how the Missouri mormons act. *shrugs*

To be fair to Mormons, I do not remember the ones that I have worked with
and known in social situations attempting to forcibly impress their beliefs
on me. In fact, I've had some decent religious discussions with some
Mormons that I've been friends with. I do, however, give the door-to-door
variety a hard time. Also, to be fair to other door-to-door prosteletizers,
I pretty much equally give them the same hard time.

Even though I got "you are a nothing", I always thought of myself as a
Christain. Then again I guess I really don't care either way. I'd just
rather live by my own "code", then to be preached at.
Mormons? I don't know anything about that religion except for my cousin
thinks they made it up. So i'm not gonna talk about that one until I find
some info on it myself.
