Birthday! And a quiz!

[toadnae]

Happy birthday, dddragonlady!  I hope your day is great!

I swiped this quiz from fairoriana.  I am very pleased to note that there is very, very little remaining of the fundamentalism I was raised with.

Holy crap that's not me! I must have been typing in tongues or something.


You scored as Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan.



You are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God's grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and he also enables you to live the life of obedience to which God has called us. You are influenced heavly by John Wesley and the Methodists.

Wow, that doesn't seem much like you .... Maybe you should take it again and see if things change. :)

I dunno Joe, you are pretty depraved. Still, Modern Liberal is pretty high and if I were to guess, that's where I'd have placed you.

I took a version of of this test a while back for fun, and my problem with them is that I have to put middle-of-the-road answers for too many, since I neither agree nor disagree (generally I think the question relies on false premises such that if I were to agree or disagree I'd believe in something I don't). I think tests like this require god-belief to begin with to be valid, and results for atheists just don't work well.
