I took the "What kind of Christian are you" Quiz....not being a "Christian" in the traditional sense....the results were interesting:

AAHHHHHH!!  Wrong.....

"Hillary Rodham Clinton Christian
(a.k.a. "Left-Leaning Traditionalist")
You think the Bible is divinely inspired, and you say Jesus was the Son of God (but secretly aren't so sure). You go to church when you can squeeze it in between soccer games, brunch, and the "Sam and Cokie" show. You admire Martin Luther King Jr., Dorothy Day, Bill Moyers, and the Dalai Lama; and have read Kathleen Norris' "Cloister Walk" and "Conversations With God." You watch "Touched by an Angel," dab away your tears, then analyze your emotions. You eat boneless chicken breasts, organic produce, and designer ice cream. You talk a lot about the value of community but can't quite remember the name of the guy two houses down. You ardently support gay rights even though you don't really want to think about what those people do. You believe the surrounding culture is polluted and blame it on big corporations. You give to charity but are more likely to help the Sierra Club than your church. The power of Christianity for you is the sense of community and the emphasis on love, forgiveness, and helping the less-fortunate.

"Hillary Clinton".....no way....much of the above is wrong...but a few of the books mentioned may be of interest.

Yeah I got the same results as well. I think I am more of a Shelby Sponge (Revisionist) Christian. I am more progressive in my beliefs than a Hilliary Christian .

Don't know you well, E, but that doesn't sound like you. Maybe I'll take it to see what it says. . . .

I took it. Ended up at the low end (closer to Spong than W) or the scale within the Rodham-Clinton Christians.

That description doesn't fit me at all.

I really dislike the too political nature/flavor of Beliefnet.....I will leave it at that.
This is about the only accurate line:

"You go to church when you can squeeze it in between soccer games, brunch, and the "Sam and Cokie" show."

We do like the Sunday morning new shows....a good cup of joe...the papers...breakfast....I almost don't miss church.

I hadn't been to Beliefnet in years. Don't know if I'll go back.

Re. Sunday morns, I would like to go more but haven't found the right fit. Tho, as you say, the Sunday morning talking heads do go nicely with my Barron's and a cup of Joe.

I haven't taken their test but Beliefnet can be a lot of fun.

It changed a few months ago. Each member now has a journal page of their own.

If you have not been there, I invite you to visit my page.
