Re: Show us where you are on the political compass.
If we wanted to be really un-PC, we could all do the Belief-O-Matic quiz...

I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

You can tell that quiz was written by Americans because it asked for opinions on social issues that have nothing to do with religion. Indeed there wasn't a whole lot of theology in that thing.

Well, there are different sects of Buddhism just as there are Christianity. I tend to associate them with the geographical areas in which they are predominant.

Re: Show us where you are on the political compass.
I think the questionaire is quite poor. The questions are too black and white as well as minimal. Moreover, I dont think it touches on nearly enough issues, but focuses too much on some.

I really don't understand how they can come up with those other percentages in other religions if you soundly reject the basic principles of those religions.
