Beliefs and stuff

[tinyvine]

I love seeing colour and beauty in the garden all the things that God made, it makes me feel close to him, and its not just the sun warming me.

I feel that the way we look at the seedling is the same as God looks at us.

Why is it that gardeners always make such lovely people?!

Did the quiz & came out Secular Humanist 100%, sounds about right but followed by Unitarian Universalism & liberal quaker,like TonyF (totally wrong for me-not into religion at all) & Theravada buddhism (possibly)

• to produce healthy food
• to feel closer to nature
• to relieve stress
• as a working meditation
• for the fun of it
• for the physical exercise

What could other "categories" be?

I would add: to reduce food miles, to reduce packaging, and therefore to reduce my dependence on plastics/oil

also as an artistic endeavour - to create a beautiful garden
to amaze people who think carrots are orange (mine are white, yellow and purple)

Beliefs quiz
I came out as New age, with neo-pagan and some sort of Buddhism as close runners up followed by Taoism ( well, I do T'ai Chi - some must have rubbed off!) My regularly practised religion, RC came 26th! Guess I ain't typical.
Incidentally, the site sent my pop-up blocker into overtime.

Sorry about that Flummery. I didn't have a problem with those.

Hmm, 100% Neo-Pagan, with a 14% gap to the next religion, and only a 35% match with any form of christianity! Looks like it was right then!

I don't know whether there's a God or not (however defined) but if there is I hope they stop buggering about with the heating and let us get on with growing things.

[Snadger]

Is there really such a thing as a Unitarian Universalist???? if so, apparently I'm one of them with 100% ....or I could be Liberal quaker at 97%....or even a Secular Humanist at 95%!

Must admit I aint heard of any of them and by tomorrow morning will have forgotten what I was supposed to be anyway!

Found this on another (non-gardening) forum. Bit of fun but interesting nonetheless

http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

The site asks a number of questions and then tells you which "religion" you "practice" (or is that practise? - where is Peter when you need him?.

I came out 100% neo-pagan with a 10% gap to the nearest next one. Well no surprises there then.

EB - thanks for this link, very entertaining. I had similar results to you.
