Mmmmmm..........

And i thought i was a non theist Mahayanist Buddhist with Bon, Dzogchen and Taoist sympathies.

I see that Bokononism has been excluded.......

Bokononism is a religion invented by Kurt Vonnegut and practiced by many of the characters in his novel Cat's Cradle. Many of the sacred texts of Bokononism were written in the form of calypsos.

Bokononism is based on the concept of foma, which are defined as harmless untruths. A foundation of Bokononism is that the religion, including its texts, is formed entirely of lies; however, one who believes and adheres to these lies will have peace of mind, and perhaps live a good life. The primary tenet of Bokononism is to "Live by the foma that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy."

Meanwhile.......


“Thinking the guy up ahead knows what he's doing is the most dangerous religion there is.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons

I know, that was wrong of me. God forgive me and please bless the pygmies in Africa, amen.

I guess I just prefer my religions to be at least a few hundred years old. Just my personal preference.

Actually I can't think of Kurt without thinking of Niven & Pournelle's poke at him in Inferno: So it goes....

Interesting test. Buddhism is the religion I like the most in real life, even though I have no religion. Never heard about "New Thought" before.

None of this really surprises me; I always thought I aligned better with more liberal or cyclical beliefs than traditionalist ones... I guess I'm not as much of a Catholic as I thought I was, given that I only scored a 27% on that. Politically, I'm very Unitarian/Agnostic in my beliefs so it just goes to show that, in a blank slate, religion is largely determined by location and ethnicity rather than one's true personal beliefs.
