Fun with Belief-O-Matic (Is that anything like a Veg-O-Matic?)

It slices, it dices, it juliennes! and then it tells you what religion you are.

Basically you answer a little quiz & the little calculator adds up how closely your responses match up with their list of beliefs (kinda like a spiritual computer dating service... is this how e-harmony works?)

as they put it.... The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa

SO here's my results... ok the 1st one was kind of a no-brainer, (although I'm somewhat disappointed to find I match any category 100% - the math must be off somewhere, it MUST be!!!) some suprises - my answers match neo-paganism, baha'i & 2 kinds of buddhism more closely than catholicism(grandma jo would be disappointed) the high match with LDS i have to attribute to spending a large chunk of my formative years in Arizona... i'll probably edit this later after i read the descriptions....

I was sure secular humanism would have been number 1, but it turns out I'm 100% Quaker! (I feel like I need oatmeal now for some reason.
