Pick your Cult before it picks You!
Greetings fellow nonsensians, today a reading from the First Letter of Jean Luc to the Cardassians.....
Actually, <a href='http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=16997232335198460795'>this test</a> got mailed to me today. Seems fairly amusing, and much more accurate than the "What Religion are You" and "Beliefomatic" tests going around. Give it a shot if you are so inclined. My results: <table align="center" cellpadding="20"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <font size="5"><b>Discordianism</b></font><br> You scored 40 Angst, 57 Weirdness, and 60 Freedom! </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>Hail Eris! Hail Hail Hail! Hail yes!</p> <p>Founded in the late 1950s, Discordianism is based around the worship (in the oddest sense of the term) of Eris, the Greek goddess of discord and chaos. Members practice a bizarre mixture of postmodernism, anarchy, absurdism, and Zen Buddhism.</p> <p>While many would say that Discordianism is a joke masquerading as a religion, many Discordians would tell you it's a religion disguised as a joke. Or a religion disguised as a joke disguised as a religion. Others will just offer you a hot dog.</p> <p>http://www.ology.org/principia/ </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/users/410/834/4118354696222512939/mt1117422909.gif"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <br><br><br> <table cellpadding="20"> <tbody><tr> <td> <span id="comparisonarea">My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people <i>your age and gender</i>:<blockquote><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tbody><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="105"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="45"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>70%</b> on <b>Angst</b></td></tr><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="120"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="30"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>80%</b> on <b>Weirdness</b></td></tr><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="90"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="60"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>60%</b> on <b>Freedom</b></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></span> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table cellpadding=20><tr><td>Link: <a href='http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=16997232335198460795'>The Which Cult Should You Join?

Unitarian Church
You scored 40 Angst, 50 Weirdness, and 54 Freedom! The Unitarian-Universalist Church is about as open-minded as you can possibly get, to the point that they don't really have any doctrines per se, just a set of loose guidelines under which people of different beliefs can interact in relative harmony. They were among the first churches to recognize women pastors and gay marriage, and generally support any number of left wing causes. This often vague open-mindedness leads many to question whether it's even a religion at all. Never piss a Unitarian off, though, or they'll burn a question mark in your front lawn. http://www.uua.org/ My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 56% on Angst You scored higher than 87% on Weirdness You scored higher than 59% on Freedom If you liked my test, send it to your friends!

Objectivism
You scored 77 Angst, 20 Weirdness, and 100 Freedom! Not a religion so much as a philosophical and political system, Objectivism was first articulated by author Ayn Rand in her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged (the latter of which was listed second only to the Bible in a survey of college students about which book influenced them the most). Objectivism is based on the idea that reason, science, and objectivity are the only ways of knowing, and that laissez-faire capitalism is the best economic system around. You scored higher than 99% on Angst You scored higher than 11% on Weirdness You scored higher than 99% on Freedom Bah! I want Discordianism, the only true religion. Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Bahá’í
You scored 22 Angst, 42 Weirdness, and 45 Freedom! As religious sects go, the Bahá’í are very benign. They believe that all of the main prophets of the major world religions were sent by the same God, and that their prophet, Bahá'u'lláh, was only the most recent. Members of this faith promote racial harmony, ecumenicalism, and world peace. Their desire for harmony means that they abhore debate, however, and questioning doctrine is generally frowned upon. Major flaw in the results on this one My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 25% on Angst You scored higher than 99% on Weirdness (say what!?! ) You scored higher than 25% on Freedom

Unitarian here..... which is the church I go to
8 on angst 23 on weirdness and 50 on freedom not bad..... But unitarian isn't really a religion, rather it is a combination of all religions and it's purpose is to have its members learn from each other and be open minded about all religion.

Unification Church
You scored 55 Angst, 87 Weirdness, and 28 Freedom! The Unification Church was founded in 1954 by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon in South Korea. Commonly known by the pejorative term Moonies, members reject the concept of the Christian Trinity in favor of one unified God, and believe that humanity's fallen nature is due to an affair Eve had with Lucifer. The church's goal is to unite all of Christianity under one church, which will be achieved through the birth of the "third Adam," something that already occured during the early 20th century in Korea. The church is perhaps best known for its mass wedding ceremonies, known as Blessings, and is slightly less known for its funding of numerous conservative political groups and publications in the United States, including the Washington Times. www.unification.org/ My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 71% on Angst You scored higher than 99% on Weirdness You scored higher than 0% on Freedom
