Space-Christian!
No real post for today (or is it tomorrow?).
Today, I'm all about business - with a capital BUSY.
In the meantime, here's something for your enjoyment: My latest results from QuizFarm:
What kind of a religious nutcase am I?
 | You scored as Modern Liberal. You are a Modern Liberal. Science and historical study have shown so much of the Bible to be unreliable and that conservative faith has made Jesus out to be a much bigger deal than he actually was. Discipleship involves continuing to preach and practice Jesus' measure of love and acceptance, and dogma is not important in today's world. You are influenced by thinkers like Bultmann and Bishop Spong.

I have to disagree with the comment about Jesus being a 'bigger deal than he actually was'. I don't believe that! Jesus was, and is, the BIGGEST deal!
I've taken several of these quizfarm thingys and the result's always the same: some kind of moonbat-space-christianity is at the top, Emergent or post-modern hovering near that, Catholicism at the halfway point and primordial-ooze-fundy at the bottom.
I continue to be surprised that I score so low as a Wesleyan on these things. Is someone tryin' to tell me something? Well?... I'm waiting for a sign here...
At least, as always, 'fundamentalist' is at the very bottom of the list. The very bottom! ZERO PERCENT, in fact in this case! I could never have guessed that!
Nice!
But really, I'm influenced by Spong?
Moi?
Really?

This is the second time I have taken this quiz. I wanted to see if it was a fluke, but indeed, I guess I am neo-orthodox (93%)!
You are neo-orthodox. You reject the human-centredness and scepticism of liberal theology, but neither do you go to the other extreme and make the Bible the central issue for faith. You believe that Christ is God's most important revelation to humanity, and the Trinity is hugely important in your theology. The Bible is also important because it points us to the revelation of Christ. You are influenced by Karl Barth and P T Forsyth.
Come to think of it, I think I took this quiz before too under a different name. Same results though. I would really question the accuarcy of these things. They obviously reflect the biases of the quiz author and make a lot of assumtptions.
Art, I think you're right about this being the same quiz with a different name. Here's what I scored.
You scored as Emergent/Postmodern.
You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.
Stacie??? YOU - 'emergent'???
BAHAHAHA.....
But I bet you scored higher in 'Wesleyan' than I did and I double secret bet you that your fundy score was higher than my (very)proud ZERO%!
To my knowledge, you're the only person in the Methoblogosphere who's scored as a Modern Liberal.
I came up as Wesleyan/Holiness.
Thanks John... I think.
I guess I should feel good that I'm in a league of my own but I'm afraid that I'm starting to come off as the Michael Moore of the Methoblogosphere.
I'm really not that liberal. I got a picture of BISHOP SPONG for cryin' out loud!
Well, in the days or weeks I have left before I am unceremoniously booted out of the MBS, I will maintain that the quiz is biased and I am actually a good theologically conservative Methodist:)
(cough)
