So, I was reading a friend's blog and she had this quiz thing up, so I went over and did the quiz, of course. Mine made no sense, so I did a different quiz. I thought the results were interesting and pretty much sum me up.








You fit in with:
Taoism



Your ideals mostly resemble those of the Taoist faith. Spirituality is the most important thing in your life. You strive to live by all of your ideals, and live a very intellectually focused life.
60% spiritual. 30% reason-oriented.

Honestly, I believe in Christ as my Savior, but I also believe in a lot of stuff that isn't necessarily in agreement with what's in the Bible. However, the way I live is with the idea that I should always strive to do the right thing and be kind to people no matter what. I'm not always successfuly, but I figure it's a good goal.

Ultimately, I think I end up being what many would consider a good Christian because I do live like that. I feel like with my kids I have to set an example, so I live my life with that in mind. I feel like charity is the one thing that everyone should do no matter what because helping people is what we are on this earth to do. I believe that we are all given opportunities to give to others all the time and that taking advantage of those opportunities is our duty.

I still do it, but I try not to judge folks. I have a wide cadre of friends from several walks of life and with a wide variety of political viewpoints. Some of my dearest friends are avid conservatives and if you know anything about me at all, I'm a bleeding heart liberal, baby. Bleed me dry, and you'll still find the hardcore liberal inside me. I tend to look past the politics and look to what people do -- their random acts of kindness.

Taoist seems so weird, but not far off in many respects.
