Just for fun, try this test. I'm a little puzzled by the logic behind it but...

My results:
#1 Eastern Orthodox Church
#2 Evangelical Lutheran Church
#3 Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod
#4 Episcopal/Anglican Church
#5 Roman Catholic Church
#6 Methodist/Wesleyan Church
#7 Church of Christ
#8 Mennonite Brethren
#9 Free Will Baptist
#10 International Church of Christ
#11 Orthodox Quakerism
#12 Seventh-Day Adventist
#13 Assemblies of God
#14 Southern Baptist
#15 Mormonism
#16 Presbyterian Church USA
#17 Presbyterian Church in America/Orthodox Presbyterian Church
#18 Reformed Churches
#19 United Pentecostal Church
#20 Reformed Baptist

My top ten:
#1 Unitarian Universalism
#2 Unity Church
#3 Liberal Quakerism
#4 Jehovah's Witness
#5 Episcopal/Anglican Church
#6 Methodist/Wesleyan Church
#7 Seventh-Day Adventist
#8 Mormonism

And the two faith traditions I was raised in came in at:
#16 Assemblies of God (raised in an extremely similar church)
#22 Roman Catholic Church
I'm not really surprised at the top three, but very surprised at number 4! |

I *think* my mother was raised Lutheran (not at all sure) and that was at #20 on my list. I am curious about the logic behind this quiz also. |

| Looks like we have similar ideas about God and religion Theomanic, given our top three are very similar. Who would have thought that on this forum! |

"God Knows, I don't"
I don't know what you'd call that either. 'Theognostic' wouldn't be right, as it would imply that i know. Liberal Quakers maybe, but I'd have to know more about their creed.

My top three were Episcopal/Anglican, Evangelical Lutheran, and Catholic.
I've attended ELCA Lutheran churches, really like the Anglican Church, and am a teacher in a Catholic school and seriously dating a Catholic.
So I guess it got me about right. |

Why do you all want to label yourselves???
These listed here are all 'Christian' denominations.
What about the Muslims, the Hindus, The Jews, The Shintos, The Laoists?
There are good, Godly people in all of these 'religions' and there are others, in all of them, who make one wonder....were the heck they are coming from.
To label yourself...makes you separate yourself from others...not good.

|
|

All people are a series of labels....
Tall.short. American. German. blue-eyed. brown eyed. green eyed. witty. sardonic. pessimistic (that one is for you, mr. pessimistic). christian. muslim. jewish. atheist. etc
if one chooses to label oneself as something (as opposed to the label being imposed from the outside) doesn't that add to his/her sense of identity and self? Do we all need to be homogonized to be united? Why is it wrong for someone who espouses a belief to express it? Just because my Christianity tally came out one way does not mean I am anti-other religions. It is funny beause if someone were to come on the boards and say he or she were an atheist (as people on here have done...especially apparent in the boards about 50 reasons...) , I doubt people would be upset that he or she was using a label to define him or herself. Yet, if someone expresses, even in this trivial poll, that they do have a religious inclination, then the label is negative and separatist. I think that is very interesting...  |

I know what you are saying, but I do think that we need to be 'selective' about the labels we 'take on board'.
Honestly....I'm not pessimistic, well, not all the time anyway.  |

Didn't the founder of Christianity - talk about dying to 'the self'?
Didn't he advocate seeing/accepting all men as ones brother?
Don't you think he meant us to 'not be seperate'? |
