I was looking around on a website today called Beliefnet. I found this nifty little quiz called the "Belief-O-Matic." The name caught my eye because it is funny, but I do think a few of the questions in it have substance. I've decided I'd like to learn a little more about some of these religions, if for nothing else, knowledge. My DH said he just couldn't see me being Muslim or a Scientologist. I told him I couldn't see myself being a Protestant Christian. Religion has become a new hobby for me. I love learning about religion. I started on my own religious journey but then I discovered a new passion for learning. I have a Islam tutor I work with through email so I can learn about Islam. I am learning about Judaism from my bff on Facebook. I am learning about paganism from books, blogs, FB, Twitter, and of course, DH. I wonder if it is possible to be completely unbiased while studying religion. I try not to be biased but I admit that some bias does come in. I think it is nearly impossible to be completely unbiased. Anyway, I thought I'd post the results to this quiz, not because I'm going to base my religion on it, but because it's food for thought. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
