I took the test and the results were very close to my feelings except the 40% Catholic compatibility part I don't understand. Perhaps I did not shed all of my elementary school brainwashing by the Nuns and priests..

which to me is curious as I am a protestant by practice - but most respect individuals I know of the Jewish faith... and oddly enough in college mostly was asked to join Jewish Frats! lol! of course I do have this thing for Jewish women.... soooooo maybe there is something in there.... hummmm.......
"BizzaroSuperdude, of course I do have this thing for Jewish women"
I am with you on that.
The only problem I have with Jewish women, is there are not enough of them..
Interesting survey, though I think some the the questions were very poorly put together.
Example:
Why is there terrible wrongdoing in the world?
A. Humans inherited sinfulness, or a damaged nature, or tendency to yield to Satan's temptations from Adam and Eve, who committed the original sin against God.
B. Wrongdoing results from God-given free will plus a weak side, or a drive to satisfy personal needs, which sometimes results in wrongful choices (and/or vulnerability to Satan's temptations).
Maybe I'm missing something here, but (B) shouldn't have mention of Satan. A already suggests giving into the temptation of Satan, most of B seems to move away from the mythology Satan and towards the thought process of individual choice.

This one comes to my mind.
No supernatural or spiritual reasons. Human nature, psychology, sociology, criminology, etc., explain wrongdoing. Or not sure. Or not important.
To many of us, God/Satan are simply two different sides to the same fairy tale. Of course I'm not sure, and to me it really isn't very important. lol
Well, that's weird. I am atheist without doubt, yet "Secular Humanism" and "Unitarian Universalism (what the fuck is that anyway?)" came out ahead of "Nontheist."
I can live with Secular Humanist.

As long as you come up 0% Jehovah's Witness, you're probably on pretty solid ground as someone who thinks for himself. lol
