Well, that's reassuring!

OK, so I'm a sucker for these "Quizzes"! And this one, found at Dodgeblogium, tickled my fancy a touch more than usual.

Reassuringly it confirmed what I thought - and I didn't have to try more than once, either!

You scored as Catholic.

Catholic

90%

Christian

75%

Buddhist

65%

Jewish

60%

Cult

55%

Anarchist

55%

Religion

Interestingly, the spread of the other potential "religions" reflect, in my view, the shared vision of the mainstream. I have to admit, though, that scoring as an Anarchist is probably a true reflection of my character make-up, but not necessarily of my faith! In reality I do have tendencies to fight against imposed authority - particularly when I disagree with whatever is being imposed.

I am surprised at the higher score for Buddhist tendencies than for Jewish, as I would have rated myself more Jewish than that! As, indeed, all Christians are.

One other little thought on this - is being a Catholic different to being a Christian? I don't think so.

We are one body in Christ.

Hmmm. A lot of Catholics and near-Catholics got the results they expected. A lot of anti-Catholics were somewhat stunned to find themselves being labelled Buddhist or Jewish.

That might say something about our perceptions of other religions - or perhaps the authors perception of other religions.

Yes, an interesting observation. It could also be that there is a commonality across a range of ideas which we take as "Reformed" Christian - which are actually "borrowed" from other philosophies. Something to explore perhaps?

Rather interesting. I do wonder how Christ might have scored...most likely an Anarchist? I mean what with all the doings with the moneychangers & Romans, etc. ;-)
