    Be a leaf.

    That's a belief.

    It hasn't started yet, but it could have its very birth here.
    Any newcomers??/ oh wait we are all newcomers.
    I'm for starting it. Be like a leaf...
    a leaf lets the wind move it.
    a leaf......

    why not just explore the world without a religion and actually think for yourself ?

    Why don't you tell people you are a Zoroastrian? Some people won't have heard of that before and it sounds quite interesting and exotic, so they will think you're really cool.

    I would go to Beliefnet. They have a very good online Q &A that will help you see where your beliefs fit in with some religions. Try it..you never know.

    i would suggest this: be honest with yourself first. then, without causing suffering or harm, whatever you see or hear, however reputable its source, second.

    That site has a very Universalist bent. Try taking it several times and answering it as if you were of a different faith each time, I'll bet Unitarian Universalist comes out at or near the top every time. [​IMG]

    I'm not saying that's bad, and UU is very accepting of different beliefs. But the test is far from impartial, and I wouldn't use it to "nail down" my faith.

    Be a Roman Catholic Anarchist. Love God and do whatever the fuck makes you happy in His name.

    LOL I just took that faith inventory and it said that my beliefs most closely resembled that of an orthodox quaker and yet, as I expected, when I clicked on the orthodox quaker link, the beliefs were quite different from my own in many of the categories. I also found it amusing that it said I am a 38% match for scientology, a pseudo-religion that I often enjoy poking fun at. Sorry Tom Cruise, your religion is a joke. FYI, L. Ron Hubbard, the creator of the church of scientology is quoted as saying something to effect of if you want to become a millionaire, start your own religion.

    Check into Jainism. You might want to study that belief along with paganism.
