You scored as atheism. You are... an atheist, though you probably already knew this. Also, you probably have several people praying daily for your soul. Instead of simply being "nonreligious," atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God. </td> atheism 75% Buddhism 71% Satanism 67% Paganism 58% Judaism 54% agnosticism 54% Islam 29% Hinduism 13% Christianity 0% Which religion is the right one for you?

I think it's kind of funny that I got 0% on Christianity.

So... 75% atheism. Yeah, I already knew that. And I've had people personally tell me they are praying for my soul. Never goes over well, that statement. It's hard to be gracious about it because I know they're not praying for my health, happiness, love, or safety, like someone who cares about me would (which I would take as a sign of their caring and thus appreciate in the spirit that it's given)... they're praying for me to convert. Oh, that drives me nuts.


Also... 71% Buddhist. That makes sense. I've been interested in looking into Buddhism lately. I'd like to up my mental discipline, but I don't believe in swearing off attachments to things in life. I love life an all the things therein, like chocolate and art and other people. I couldn't possibly achieve enlightenment because I could never foresake attachement. I'd probably never be a Tyler Durden space monkey for the same reason. I love my duvet comforter.

Though I'm curious about why you're using the phrase "hate to tell ya".

Oh, it just sounded like you had some great big revelation to me. ^^;; Sorry, I'm reeeeeally tired. 3:15 AM now. T_T

As opposed to...immoral!athiests? You do mean that in the same way that you'd say moral!Christians v. immoral!Christians, or moral!Muslims v. immoral!Muslims, right? Cause last time I checked, moral and immoral people come in every religion/lack thereof.

All true, but usually immoral!thiests pray and believe God will forgive them no matter what, so they continue on in their selfish ways. Unfortunately, they use it as an excuse to do what they want instead of what is right and abiding by the universal truths.

You say to-ma-to, I say to-mah-to...
I just think you take that too personally, is all. I'm a Christian and praying for something means to invoke/plead for mercy, whatever its applications, not conversion. ^^;
