aishuu got the result of:
That's amusing, in a 'you say that like it's a good thing' kind of amusing. For starters, I'm not certain non-demoninational Xtians (whatever that means) necessarily struggle with disobedience. I mean...define disobedience. Are we talking from a Judiac perspective? (Yes, I'd like some bacon, please.) Okay. Anyway. Being bored and braindead, I wander over, because I'm going to have to do major work on ch8 and I don't want to go there at one in the morning. So I'll do moronic quizzes instead. If only I had idea how moronic, beforehand. My eventual options? Anarchist, Buddhist, Catholic, Christian, Cult, Jewish, in alphabetical order. Hunh. I didn't even know there was an 'anarchist' religion, and I studied theology for four years. Boy. This must be a new development...or something.
So I'm utterly unsurprised to get another tie - like the Voltron/Transformers quiz, I seem to be falling in the middle of a great deal today. Must be all the words and charactesr in my head. So if I vote one way on the tie-breaker, I get:
I don't think this person knows what a Buddhist is. I can't think of any practicing Buddhists - and I've known a good number of them - who have considered witchcraft or astrology or even tarot as...temptations? It's like, trying to say that mountain climbers will find bathing suits tempting. It just isn't often an issue. I'm doing my best to ignore the idea that a Buddhist - one of the more complex (really, yes, it is) and difficult self-contemplative paths one could chose could...have a mind undeveloped in discerning truth from halftruth? No convictions?
Moron quizwriter is bad. Biased moron quizwriter - worse.
So I go back, and choose the other tie-breaker option, and I get anarchist. Okay, this one I gotta see. What's a frickin' anarchist, as a religion? I thought it was a political movement from the 20s. Oh, wait, that was the Bolsheviks. Yeah, whatever. Weren't the anarchists the bad guys in Lil' Orphan Annie? Y'know, the ones who kept throwing bombs through Daddy Warbuck's office window and I just realized his name is Warbucks - was Lil' Orphan Annie a satire and no one ever told me? Hrm. Food for thought, but first, where was I? Oh, right. Stupid quizzes.
Riiiiiight.
This is why my degree is in nonprofit management, because I'm a selfish bastard who doesn't have a stack o' stuff to take to the local women's shelter for my monthly donation. Nope, not me!
However, I feel so much more enlightened now that I'm aware of yet another frickin' religion in the world. Anarchism! Boy. What would I do without the internet to tell me these things.
aishuu got the result of:You scored as Christian. The Good News is...you're a Christian.
You my friend are a non-denominational Christian. You strive to be a better person and are generally concerned about how your actions affect other people; however, you do struggle with disobedience as it may make life uncomfortable for you. Your greatest battle will be against lukewarmedness. Dude, fight the good fight.

You are a Buddhist You basically get lost in the sea of conflicting ideas as your mind hasn't been developed to discern truth from halftruth. You entertain many philosophical ideas that don't apply to your daily life or actually fulfill you in any way. Maybe you didn't have a strong background of faith and morality growing up, which is why you have basically no convictions whatsoever. Follow your heart, it will guide you to the obvious truth and its simplicity will astonish you. Tarot cards, astrology, and witchcraft will be a temptation for you. Be careful.

Coochy choochy coo, what a cute little ANARCHIST we have here. You see everything as a means to an end, and that end is You. You don't understand why some saps do community service cause you wouldn't be caught dead picking up trash unless you were in an orange jumpsuit. You're also pretty angry at the world but are too self-concerned to do anything about it because you are an anarchist. Understanding this statement would practically kill you, "There is freedom in obedience." You probably also hate Bush.
Riiiiiight.
