Belief-O-Matic

[Reiðrœska]

Buddhism, Quakers and Unitarian Universalism is something that seems easy to come in your top 10.

Yeah, seems it. I need to read about them a bit.

Edit: Just read about UU a bit, is it just me or is it the most pointless religion ever? From what beliefenet says, it basically seems like "Believe in anything you want." Am I horrendously confused, or is that basically it?

You are horrendously confused. Please feel free to come by the UU forum and read some of the threads and ask any questions you like. Little hint though, although we are notoriously tolerant, we don't really like being called pointless.

I think this is because these religions have the greatest tolerance for personal revelation and differing beliefs and do not require or do not solely require adherence to a doctrine. That doesn't mean they accept everything, though or that you can "believe whatever you want".

:yes: exactly! that's what i've been sayin. pointless, pointless, pointless.

Thanks. I think the deranged grin of a clown sums up everything about everything.

I thought that was Pennywise at first.
"Oh we float! We ALL float!" :help:

Really? Would you care to tell us why you think it's pointless? How much have you actually studied UU? Have you ever talked to a UU about their beliefs? Attended a service? Or do you just randomly mock religions you don't understand?

 

[Luminous]

randomly mock... ithink. but why don't you enlighten me?

I am not surprised by he top one but Liberal Quaker at number 4 is a bit of a surprise which i have noticed in some of your tests aswell.

If your intent is just to mock then I don't think I'll waste my time.

I am going to click on the link from the believe-o-matic; i am going to read it again, this time completely, and then i'll get back to you...
o.k. regot it: diverse believes and pro-abortion. some believe this, some believe that. doesn't sound very coherent but please explain your side of 'Unitarian Universalism'. Why is it even considered a religion. isn't it more like a social club for people of 'diverse believes'?

I just looked at that and found it very lacking. I can see why you were confused if that's all you knew about it. Try this for a more comprehensive overview, but please note that it only scratches the surface:
100 Questions That Non-Members Ask About Unitarian Universalism

 

[Luminous]

Thank you.:sorry1: Its not really a religion(i get it now , diverse RELIGIOUS views) more like a philosophy/way of life. i like it . Theravada Buddhism is more like a philosophy too.

 

[Luminous]

I am not going to ask any more questions.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

Luminous, why don't you answer GG's question first? Or do some research? Do you know a THING about UU?

Some see it that way, yes.
