Care to label yourself?

I posted this on another site (not the one where I went fundy-baiting).

Thinking about the words liberal, conservative, and moderate both poilitically and theologically led me to putting up this post.


Politically: I come in to the south and west of Gandhi here: http://poltiticalcompass.org /

Theologically, I come in as a Unitarian Universalist here: http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

and here http://beliefnet.com/section/quiz/index.asp?sectionID=1... I am a 150 - 249
You are a Hillary Rodham Clinton Christian (a.k.a. "Left-Leaning Traditionalist") although to be honest I didn't think much of this particular quiz.

There are other quizzes around if you are interested in them: http://beliefnet.com/section/quiz/index.asp?sectionID=10002&surveyID=83

8. That was very interesting.

I tend to view myself as a fairly Conservative/fundamental Muslim (In that I mean that I adhere to what I see as the fundamental principles and teachings of Islam, :shrug: which I think is very different from a "fundie" which tends toward an extreme based upon a flawed understanding of the real teachings..)

2. Jainism (97%)
3. Bahá'í Faith (93%)
4. Reform Judaism (92%)

have you visted the Liberal Islam Network site http://islamlib.com/en/aboutus.php , and if so what did you think of it?

[PsychoDad]

14. Thanks for the link

:)

No, I hadn't found that site yet. I took a look at it and it looks pretty good. Thanks again :). It will be well worth a good read.

I sometimes peruse www.muslimwakeup.com which can be pretty progressive.

No idea what that means...I'm not a Christian, so I'm not sure it means much of anything :shrug:
