Spin the Religion Wheel . . .

I know I could be discussing Alito, or the Syria Resolution, or car bombings in Iraq, or a charged Scooter (Libby, that is). But nah, today is All Hallow's Eve (or for those crazy culture demented ones, Halloween). Today, and especially tomorrow, is a good day to consider all those souls who have gone on before us, and to consider our own spirituality.

Our inner spirituality is reflected in many cases to our outer physical and mental perspectives. Many of us wander in this world aimlessly, because we do not tap our spiritual realms. For some of us, our untapped spirituality binds us to harmful earthly desires and passions to gain something that will not be attained by any earthly goods. Sigh. I am one of those.

It's not like I don't have spirituality, because I have tapped into it before with extraordinary results. My spiritual-ness, if you will, has given me great rewards and happiness. But more times than not, there is a wall that I must get through to tap my spirit.

Oh, ok. Enough of that. You want to know what your beliefs are? You want to know the church or group that your spiritual sense places you? Selectsmart.com has some great quizzes to test where you fit in spiritually with others who believe like you. The above link goes to a specific quiz (no need to study, this is about your spirit, faith and beliefs, not your intelligence) that will place you in a religion that most closely matches your spiritual beliefs. You will want to take this test more than once on different occasions, since there are many times when our spirit leads our beliefs into deeper, and varied perspectives that are addressed by certain religions.

Why know which religion fits your spiritual beliefs? Religion is something that you do routinely, faithfully. Like brushing your teeth, a religion gives a bit of regimen to your beliefs and a spiritual exercise routine to make it better and stronger (hopefully). You can associate with others who believe the same and encourage you to grow in your faith in the right religion. It is also fascinating to see how off you really are from where you currently rest your religion.

So, c'mon and take the test and find out if you are Orthodox Quaker (that is what I originally tested as), or a devote athiest. Then, you can celebrate the saints that fit your spiritual belief, even if that might be St. Padre Pio or the New Orleans Saints.
