Now I find it interesting that anyone would pigeonhole themselves strictly based upon a quiz that has a possibility of more than 100%. How can I be 63% Fundamentalist and 56% Postmodernist? Those 2 alone add up to 119%! I do, however, still find it interesting. Note the description of Fundamentalists they give. I don't agree with it totally. Mainly I disagree with what it says about science. Fundamental religious beliefs don't contradict Science. Also, I disagree with it stating that I am 56% Postmodernist. Postmodernism is something that I totally disagree with.
It's the epitome of the Fact/Value split. It says that you can hold to opposing views at the same time because on is a matter of Fact and the other is a matter of Value. The danger in this type of thought process is that by definition the area of Value is subjugated to being 'non factual', 'subjective', and 'depedant upon perspective'. It infers that there are no absolutes when it comes to ethics, morals, or values and that Science is the 'end all beat all' and only it (and by default) scientists have a corner on the market of reality and truth. (For more on this see the articles on our site entitled A House Without a Floor and Absolute Truth.) I have a great book that helps define this it is entitled Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from it's Cultural Captivity by Nancy Pearcy. If you want a copy and can't afford it, let me know and I will give you one. In my opinion, (except for the Bible) it is the most influential book I have ever read!
Let us not forget that Science is a mechanism, 'it' doesn't say anything, scientists do. Keep an eye on our site The Reality Check for an upcoming article that includes some of this type of thing.

Romanticism encourages society to look backwards to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society. You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.

Above are my scores. I thought a few of the questions were misleading. For example.... did I feel that way about something, or did I think that society feels that way? Anyway.... I guess I do believe that life should be simple, and that we should return to the morals and values that society seems to have lost over the years. I do have a problem with my children growing up in a world were some "things" are to be accepted regardless of what the Bible says on the matter. Obviously I think one would need to look to history to find solutions, how else would you learn? I was not surprised to see that Fundamentalist was #2 on my list, seeing as how you and I have very similar ideals. What in the world is Cultural Creative?
Found the meaning of Culteral Creative.
........Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational..........
I agree that things were better a couple of hundered years ago for us here in the US, but not necessarily for much of the rest of the world.
The cultural creative type sounds like a typical gen x'er. They don't like what their parents believed but can't give up on the idea of the supernatural. Often times, I find people that believe this way tend to want to have their cake and eat it too.

Here are my scores. Too bad they don't have labels that gear more towards - bible believing christian,who believes that there really is a heaven and hell, believes Jesus is God, and the ONLY way to make it to heaven is by believing in Him as Lord and Savior and living by His Word.
Yeah, nobody is going to put that in a quiz.
You're right Sara, I don't think they would put that type of stuff in a quiz. I guess we just don't fit neatly into the little cubbyhole they want us to!
It is still interesting to take the quiz though if for nothing else but to see what types of questions are being asked.
That's so interesting that Sara and I's top three are the same one, not the exact same order, but the same three. Birds of a feather....LOL.
Yeah Jen, except what KIND of birds are we? Crows, pelicans, flamingos, robins, vultures, parrots...need I go on? Flamingos are pretty and they can sleep while standing on one leg. We kind of do that, as moms, don't we?
