I took the belief-o-matic quiz today, inspired by
honeyfields' recent post on the subject. I compared it with my results from last year, and things have shifted over the past year. I appear to have grown more Buddhist. The bottom end still remains largely unchanged, showing I am still not Islamic, Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholic.
