Some may find this strange, but if I were to go religious I'd go catholic. May as well go the whole hog, with the ritual, ceremony and pomp.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

yeah, I m no one to judge a church, and I am not in a position to make an educated criticism of the modern Catholic Church....

but the pomp and ceremony (and fancy vestments) were part what jesus had a problem with, from what I read anyway

this pope seems well aware of that tho..., which I think is a good thing

I am sick and bedridden and my computer is in for repairs so I have been watching too much TV. The Pope interrupted The Price is Right. I missed out on how much the thingamajig was and who won what. Trump never does that.

It seemed to peg me as 7th Day Adventist. I'm not sure who should be most alarmed - them or me.

It listed me as Eastern Orthodox even though in the score breakdown, I had an identical score for Roman Catholic...

Maybe you should consider converting? They are very long-lived!

At least go episcopal, so you can live with yourself. All of the ritual and none of the guilt!

Not surprisingly, I got Unitarian Universalist, followed by Liberal Quaker and Mahayan Buddist. Roman Catholic was last on my list. All consistent with my own beliefs that I jokingly call "episcopagan," and my yoga studies. I've even looked in to switching to the UU church and attended some services - there are several good ones around me.

I'm not following the Poopfest, LJ. I've no interest in what some crazy foreigner in a funny hat has to say.

Forgive me the uncharitable joke:

What's the difference between a Universal Unitatian and a Nihilist?

The one pretends to believe in something the other pretends to believe in nothing.

PS I am heartily relieved that my second place was "Conservative Protestant" 86%.
