OK, *** SOOOO *** not accurate that I match more stuff in Mormon, Scientologist, or Christian Scientist faiths than in Jewish or Roman Catholic. And Jehovah's Witness? Seventh Day Adventist? This is all just filler. I'm an atheist, people. Secular Humanist. I'll take the UU, that's fine. The Quakers, Nontheists, also fine. Anything crazy? Not fine! No sacred undergarments. No thetans. No "clear". I don't know what Jainism is. I always think of Baha'i as flaky 60s-leftover faith. I like holidays, so there is no Witness here (or wait, is that the Adventists? feh!). Stupid test!
When your test starts out and asks what is the number of the deity and you say "No God or supreme force" shouldn't the test filter out belief systems that include gods? Foo.

Date: 2006-11-23 04:42 pm (UTC)As I see it, atheists of your (and my husband's) stamp are certainly more morally laudable than people like me, who can't quite shake off the idea that it must all sort itself out hereafter. It's the Devil's Disciple worldview - that true goodness is not self-interested, and if you act morally without believing you'll be rewarded for it, that's less self-interested (and therefore more worthy) than acting morally in the belief that you'll be rewarded in heaven (or even on earth, I suppose). (Oh, dear, Shaw put this all so much better.)
I'm sorry to say that "Hello trees! Hello sky!" was a misquotation of "hello clouds! hello sky!", and not original to me.
