Dear Jim -
Thanks for your warm "welcome back". I appreciate your generous spirit, & the way you offer encouragement despite our, as you put so well, our "divergent" views.
Like you, I'm clueless as to why Mr. Belief-O-Matic would rank conservative Protestantism as #1 (at 99%), while both Catholisism & Eastern Orthodoxy matched at 100%. Ah, the mysteries of the universe remain ever beyond our finite minds!
Thanks for sharing such an interesting & useful quiz with us.
I suppose it works by taking published statements of faith (creeds, doctrines, etc.) from various religious organizations, & forming questions to enable them to match our answers with the beliefs of each religion/community of faith.
In my case, perhaps one of my answers aligned exclusively with Protestantism (some aspect not shared by Catholics & Eastern Orthodox), even while I matched up 100% with the latter two on the other answers.
thanks again, jim.
Shalom, Dena
