          I'm not sure how to answer the first question as the only choices for believing in God means you also need to believe he is the Creator.

          I only believed he gave humanity the gift of having a soul - for all else, I believe in astro-physics and evolution.

            ah ha

            I'll go ahead and take the quiz, answering the first question with God as being the Creator of the soul for humanity.

            I'll post my results here soon.

              I think God gave mankind brains, a list of rules that would please Him if we followed them, and then He steps away to watch and see. On-call if requested, but as was noted, He did give us a brain to make rational decisions, or not.

                How did Neo-Pagan get so high in my results?

                Also, I don't like Unitarianism being so high - they try to please everyone to the extent, that they seem to waffle way too much - what do they REALLY believe in??

                    I'm a little surprised at the large separation in your Protestant rankings, Mr. Fun.

                      I can respect your belief even if I don't agree with it.

                        You don't agree that we have brains? I might could accept that viewpoint.

                          I would have thought that for me, conservative Protestantism would be way lower.

                            We have brains - that part I can accept.

                              Somehow both Buddhisms took a huge bump up in the past 2 years...interesting. And how would a Christian-leaning deist be more j00 than Catholic, or more nontheist than Mormon? This poll is wack.

                                I think my life-long association with the Methodist church must influence me more than I know. I realize Baptists are....stricter, for instance. I dated a Baptist girl in high school.
                                Other Protestant affiliations, I have little real knowledge of actually. I know that Methodists are more accepting of Gays, for instance, than some. I think Methodists are cool. They're just regular people.
