Hmmm.  I posed as a worshiper of the Great Mother of the Trelkairni, and got
some TRUELY bizzare results . . .

Everything above 50% . . .

1.  Orthodox Judaism (100%)
2.  Sikhism (100%)
3.  Bah??Faith (97%)
4.  Islam (97%)
5.  Jainism (95%)
6.  Hinduism (87%)
7.  Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (83%)
8.  Mahayana Buddhism (77%)
9.  Jehovah's Witness (76%)
10.  Reform Judaism (75%)
11.  Theravada Buddhism (67%)
12.  Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (64%)
13.  Unitarian Universalism (58%)
14.  Neo-Pagan (56%)
15.  Liberal Quakers (54%)

I find this list quite confusing.  I don't see ANY similarity with the
worship of the Great Mother until number 6 and then only in cosidering
goddesses like Kali who tend to be a bit violent.  These folks are violent.
How did Quakers, Bahai, Buddhists end up on this list?  They are
exclusivists.  How did Bahai and Univarsalists get on?  They do not accept
any incarnation.  How did Mormons and Protestants of any stripe get on the
list?

I guess the strict adherance to ritual got the Orthodox Jews and Islam on
the list.



And the bottom 6 . . .

22.  New Age (40%)
23.  Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (38%)
24.  New Thought (36%)
25.  Atheists and Agnostics (21%)
26.  Taoism (18%)
27.  Secular Humanism (17%)


Hmmm.  This part looks a bit familiar.

Adam
