ONLINE DATING - FOR A RELIGION
Do you know what religion you are? Are you absolutely sure? According to an online test I took (only 20 questions, but they were 20 darned good ones)), Iím a Liberal Quaker (who knew!).
The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches my beliefs. However, according to the site, even a score of 100 percent does not mean that my views are all shared by the faiths listed, or vice versa.
Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in the order of how much they have in common with my professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with my thinking, or at least thatís what the Belief-O-Matic says.

Belief-O-Matic makes the practice of choosing a faith into an experience that resembles filling out a questionnaire for an online dating service. Answer 20 questions on this web site and the site spits back out a list of religions or faiths best suited to your answers. Even if youíre absolutely 100 percent convinced of your religion or faith, you need to give it a whirl. It asks questions like, "What are the origins of the physical universe and life on earth?" and, "Why is there terrible wrongdoing in the world?" The multiple-choice quiz offers between three and eight answers to choose from.
So, what religion ARE you, and what does Belief-O-Matic have to say about it? Click here to find out!
