I can honestly say that I'm not surprised that we ended up with the same result on this. I've never come across a more like mind set of people in my life than us.

You scored as Idealist.

Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.

You can see where your radical right wing upbringing sneaks into your answers and boosts your Fundamentalist score so much higher than mine. I find it interesting that I'm nearly a third higher on the idealist score than you as well. What's interesting is that my idealism world view comes from the profound effect that reading Plato had on my life. Have you ever read Plato?

You scored as Cultural 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.

What is Your World View? (corrected...hopefully)

Interesting. Not sure I agree, but then again I see certain nuanced answers to some of the questions that the originator of the quiz may not have considered

Yeah, I was just reading over the Cultural Creative movement, it sure doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard you talk about. I think that the entire religious aspect of the questions mislabeled you from a Fundamentalist to Cultural Creative. Now that label fits pretty well on me.

Probably from your perspective fundamentalist would fit. I tend to not like the term because there are Christians who gladly label themselves fundamentalist, and the things that seem to distinguish them are not beliefs I share. Which are KJV-onlyism, prohibitionism, dispensationalist eschatology and (usually) are strictly credobaptistic. If you mean someone who believes in absolute truth and, the law of noncontradiction then I guess I am one.

I actually wasn't making a political statement. I mean literally using the definition of fundamentalism, it fits you better. I've heard you express all these views.

"Fundamentalist" describes a movement to return to what is considered the defining or founding principles of the religion. It has especially come to refer to any religious enclave that intentionally resists identification with the larger religious group in which it originally arose, on the basis that fundamental principles upon which the larger religious group is supposedly founded have become corrupt or displaced by alternative principles hostile to its identity.

'"Fundamentalist" describes a movement to return to what is considered the defining or founding principles of the religion.'

Well yes and no. I mean, I don't think Christianity is something meant to be static, but at the same time I do believe there are founding principles that should be adhered to which will in turn guide its progress.

"It has especially come to refer to any religious enclave that intentionally resists identification with the larger religious group in which it originally arose, on the basis that fundamental principles upon which the larger religious group is supposedly founded have become corrupt or displaced by alternative principles hostile to its identity."

Well I guess I have some ambiguity there. While I do identify with a particular tributary of Christian thought, I see it as a small part of a whole, and that whole encompasses a large history of shared tradition and theology, and see other representatives of other traditions within that whole as legitimate contributors to Christian thought and tradition. I don't see Presbyterians as the only "real" Christians. We all share certain core beliefs and understandings about God, Christ, scripture and humanity. There are also differences of belief between different Christians, but the things we share in common, I believe are far more numerous and "fundamental" such as the Trinity, deity of Christ, the incarnation, virgin birth etc. So in that regard, I do not think the term "fundamentalist" really applies.

On the other hand, I am irked that way too many evangelicals act and think like gnostics. I am irked that way too many evangelicals take the likes of Benny Hinn and TBN seriously. So in that respect, maybe I am a fundamentalist.

I just cut and pasted the definition from wikipedia, once again, I wasn't splitting hairs trying to accuse you of anything.
