GUEST - you're still a troll - mostly because we don't know if you're the person who has regualrly posted as a trolling GUEST on all the other threads or not.


As for the Christian bias/trouble with Catholicism/other forms of Christianity: Please remember that they're asking you 20 questions. Most intelligent people (and I include GUEST in that category) have complex belief structures. More complex than 20 questions can maybe accurately determine.

Those of us who are Pagan register high as Pagan, simply because there are few choices that are similar. Mainstream Christian denominations have significant similarities. In that case, more than 20 questions would be needed to pinpoint where you are.

Also, I would guess that Beliefnet uses the offical cannonical beliefs of each religion/denomination as stated in each religion's literature and by their ministers, priests, etc. If you are a Catholic, do you follow all the official rules as the Pope? If not, you might register more closely with Episcopal or something. That doesn't mean you should change religion, but it might mean that the leadership of your religion needs to understand that they may have to change in order to grow and retain membership.

Oh and GUEST, instead of complaining to us about Beliefnet - why not be constructive instead of destructive? Email Beliefnet and give them your critique or even better create your own questions. They we'll critique you.
