06/14/2005: Well, how can you have a theological worldview if you don't have a theology?
 | 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.

Of course, the problem with this quiz is that it assumes belief in God. Then again, what's an atheist like me doing taking this quiz anyway?
Via: The Forbidden Notes of the Boîte Diabolique (still listed in the extended blogroll as "Turquoise Waffle Irons in the Backyard"; I know, I really need to do some serious revision there...), who also scored 18% Roman Catholic. In my case... Well I was born/raised Catholic, but I avoided Catholic college/university like the plague, so I can't attribute my Catholic score to going to a Jesuit university. However, I'm more inclined, myself, to believe that there's a small core of Catholic beliefs and attitudes which resonate with a "emergent/postmodern" or "modern liberal" worldview, and that's what accounts for that score.
And the 0% fundamentalist is spot on. I'd have been depressed beyond the ability to describe if I'd gotten any non-zero score on the fundamentalist scale.
