I wonder what one would have to do to score differently on Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic, seeing as how there's no question about the papacy?

I wonder what the difference between unitarian universalist and secular humanist is.

Really? I expect you to be better informed.

Unitarian-Universalism is more of a 'religion' than secular humanism. It has a very very very informal structure and tolerates/encourages diversity in the beliefs of its adherents. Some are nontheists, agnostics, etc. The only real unifying message of Unitarian-Universalists is the belief in universal salvation, regardless of sin.

Epic, I was wondering what the difference between UU's and SH's was ON THE QUIZ, since most people who get one get the other.

You have UU high up and SH really low though. I really have no idea what you did to get UU first, Reform Judaism (????) second, and SH so low.

How the fuck did I get only 76% nontheist?

Is not believing in God good enough for these guys?

Epicurus
04-25-2009, 02:46 PM
I think everytime you answer "No God" when it is an option it increases your SH score, and everytime it is an option and you don't choose it it decreases it.

Whenever the option it gave me said "No God, or Don't Know if there Is" I would pick that, but if there was a "There is no God" I wouldn't necessarily pick it. I spend a lot of time thinking about concepts of the afterlife, so even though most of my basic answers were atheist/agnostic I still answered most of the questions about the afterlife.

Epicurus
04-25-2009, 02:47 PM
This is also a weird test, and I would greatly question its usefulness. Like 3D said, they give scores for both Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholicism but have no questions that would really distinguish between the two.

FUCK THE POLICE
04-26-2009, 08:57 PM
Well Eastern Orthodox and the Catholics pretty much do agree on everything important. The probably just included Eastern Orthodox so that those guys wouldn't feel left out, and made it the same as Catholic.

I would say that your opinioin about the infallibility of the Pope is as important a disagreement as you can have. Shouldn't have been too hard to include one question about it.

Don't the Orthodox just have the patriarch? And no one believes in papal infallibility anymore.

There is very, very little practical difference between Orthodox and Catholic. Just squabbling about a technicality that was an important issue a thousand years ago. Compared to whether or not there's an afterlife whether or not the pope leads you or the patriarch seems like pretty tiny squibbling.

You're definitely right about the practical side, but when you have been separated as long as Orthodox and Catholicism have things just begin to develop differently as the theology gets fleshed out over the centuries.

Sunni-Shia split is even more petty and so far just as enduring. But people are still willing to kill and die for it in sectarian violence to this day.

It's not always easy to assess what will be important to people.

I think a lot of it is pride in their traditions, otherwise they would all just declare themselves Byzantine Catholics. In the age of Vatican II, the Byzantine Mass is far superior to the Roman Mass anyway (I've attended like 4 total). My dad nearly became an Orthodox like my grandfather had been, so I have a Byzantine enthusiast in the family...

I'm guessing you didn't like vatican II?

I don't have the contempt for it that my dad has. I just think the new Mass sucks. One of the accomplishments of Vatican II was that it improved relations between Rome and the East, which ironically made my dad's beloved Eastern ancestors more accessible to him. There have been Byzantine Churches in Seattle for nearly 30 years now, and there is one about 5 min. from my college, which I will have to check out sometime.
