Lol. That is just funny. Why do people need a reason why things happen? They just happen, that's life. Good stuff happens to bad people and vise versa. It's all how you deal with it. Praying and believing in a higher power will never be a method for me.

Interesting as I am not familiar with any of these but these are the results:
1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. New Age (97%)
3. Mahayana Buddhism (97%)
I still have the same beliefs after this test which has at it's core an assumption of main-line Christianity.
I know what I believe and I have no intent to investigate these religions (I guess that is what they are).
I have my personal relationship with God and that is all the guidance I need.

And me being a realist and not believing i totally respect your opinion but remember IT'S YOUR OPINION. I have issues when people try to force their religious crap down my throat. I don't believe and i won't believe so leave me alone (I am not talking to you personally but speaking about religious nuts [not you] in general).

I hope you find peace and happiness in your life:
Be grateful for everything that has happened to yourself
Be loving with ourselves and everyone you know
Be continually focused on the joy that you can evoke with a simple smile
Note: I am not talking to you personally.
I also have issues when atheists and non-spiritual people try to impose their views on me ... so I can empathize with how you feel.
The only thing worse than a religious nut is an atheist nut ... they both know they are right and can't believe what a fool you are.

I don't say I'm right. I say that's my opinion. We should both be able to share our thoughts over a beer without judging each other.

No one is forcing religious crap down your throat. What do you expect when you enter a thread that specifically asks about faith? You are going to hear religious crap. It may irritate you to hear people talking about their faith but I hardly think it is being forced on you

I looked at the e-mail sent after taking the test and it included all twenty seven religions - I figured I would share the list with all.
As a note from my top three - Mahayana Buddhism is basically Buddhism. I heard that Buddha's and Jesus's teachings had many similar characteristics.
I personally think of and refer to myself as a Jesusist. I read the words of Jesus and use them to guide my life.
I was aware that my beliefs were similar to Unitarian Universalism Christianity (I think Jesusism would be in here) so that is one I would have expected.
The last eight are no surprise.

My Faith in a nutshell . As a great man once said "Love Me and love one another" easier to say than do but that is what faith is about keep trying to do what is right and that which He said 2000 years ago. If you subscribe to these words how could we do wrong to one another especially the tender innocent beings nestled in the womb.

soberups,
A few followup questions to your post:
If this is getting too personal, then please private message me the answers if you will.
Can you describe your higher power?
Does your higher power have a name?
If not by accident then how do you think it all happened and happens?
What is this common truth that you speak of?
Sincerely,
I

hellfire,
Please provide evidence that I am trying to force my views on anyone.
If I agree with your assessment then I will apologize.
I only seek to speak the truth in love in all my affairs.
Individuals are free to believe whatever they choose, even if I disagree and think they are wrong.
The same goes for me.
Sincerely,
I
