If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha.

Badstar had a couple of interesting posts up on his blog recently, where he took two seperate tests from QuizFarm.com that were supposed to determine which religion he was "closest to". You can go to his blog to look at his results, but as for me, I figured why not try the tests out myself. I've never been even remotely religious, though that is not to say that I do not believe in religion. I was baptized Catholic, but I never really ever attended Church or any kind of services (excepting the few I've gone to with friends). Religion was never really that important in my family life. I have a loving family and as a child and currently as an adult, that's all I need. But anyway, what will I come out as after taking these two quizzes?



You scored as Wicca/Witchcraft. Wiccans are from a relatively new religion, dating only as far back as the early to mid 1900s. This is deceptive, Wicca is based off a religion that is very ancient and whose participants were hunted by the church in massive witch hunts. Although wiccan magic states that it "must harm no one". In the middle ages, a witch would have been hunted and killed if they were caught preforming any magical act, even healing. A sadder fact, though, is that most of the people killed for being witches in history were not in fact witches.

That was the first test. I honestly didn't like a lot of the 50 questions that were asked, and like Badstar I feel taking another test might give better results. So, how about this one?

The second test consisted of a shorter list of questions (30), but I feel like this one might be more accurate. In the previous test, I answered a lot of questions with what would be considered neutral answers, because I did not really feel all too strongly one way or another. At least with this second test, I was given more of an opportunity to take a clear position on each question.

Of course, all this has made me think back to other tests I have taken. Usually, these have all been fun little internet quizzes that determine stuff like Which Fantasy/SciFi character are you? (I ended up being Agent Smith from the Matrix on my first time taking the test), Which D&D Character are you? (played a lot of this when I was younger; the test said I was a Chaotic Good Human Ranger; funny, I've never played such a character...), and lastly one of my favorites is What Pre-1985 Video Game Character Am I?



What Video Game Character Are You? I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.


I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?
