3032 Results from BeliefNet.com, and a conspiracy theory

--------------------------------------------------

I took the test on BeliefNet.com that Becs had mentioned in a comment. The following is my results. Note that Pantheism isn't even in their database.

I've had results similar to these from other tests, but in every case, when I read the descriptions of the first four or five they've assigned to me, I am very annoyed, because it's nowhere near anything I'd lay claim to. This one in particular annoyed me because from the descriptions, they don't seem to have paid any attention whatsoever to my answers to the questions. How do they get 100% when my responses were diametrically opposed on most of the questions, and especially on those I marked as important?

So, No Becs, I suspect you are NOT leaning toward Unitarianism. Father Fatty can expect to see you for the near future, anyway.

You like conspiracy theories? Try this one.

Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Guys getting killed and maimed. All volunteer army.

Who, besides the gung-ho, volunteers to go to war? Guys who can't get jobs.

When did the job market begin the crash? (Hint - before the bank/mortgage crisis and the Bush bailouts.) When the army was crying for recruits.

Why volunteer if you can get a good safe job?

I heard on the news that veterans were having great difficulty finding a job when they get home.

What is the natural thing to do when you've come home and can't find a job? Reenlist.

I'm willing to bet that the job market won't pick up until the wars have ended.

I know this will comes as a shock to you, but do you know where the biggest untapped oil fields are?

Iraq.

Also, the Saudis aren't fessing up to how much oil they have left. Some people are guessing that it's much less than they let on. No oil, no power.
