In a recent Religion class, I was asked to take a quiz on the site Belief.net. The idea was to compare and contrast one of the top five and one of the bottom five religions assigned to me by the quiz. To be quite honest, I was a bit surprised at the results. I wasn’t expecting my religious beliefs to be packaged up in one perfect little box, however this site claims to do it with only 20 questions.
In accordance with the religious aspects of our personal lives, we tend to use simple reasoning and empirical thought to arrive at ideals that define us. However, the true nature of religion lies within its doctrines and how those fit within our personal creed. Every religion may share some similar values in which we can relate, however in most instances we choose a religion because of its differences.

Hi Ancient Digger..What you bring up is very true..I remember when I took religion classes that I was most taken with the experiences of the prophets from religions around the world..separated by centuries, having very similar experiences.:)

I took the quiz. It didn't give me any real results. Neither of the top two were what I really believe and the rest were not any closer. I guess it is complicated when I believe in a sort of god but no god-powers like heaven or hell. It was interesting to take the quiz. I haven't really thought about religion for a long time.
