And People Thought I'm Buddhist
nazi buddha?
Originally uploaded by coolmel.
Recently, this blog had been nominated for Best Integral Buddhist Blog. I'm still scratching my head, because I already dropped the word "integral" long ago, and I never claimed to be Buddhist. So I took an uber-psychoanalytic scientifically accurate Belief-O-Matic test. [via Korenna]
Here's the result. Now I have proof. I'm more Apu than Lisa, and more Tom Cruise than Reverend Lovejoy. Like I said: Buddhist++

Yeah, the Belief-o-Matic is pretty sweet. Although, I'm hard core Buddhist, and each time I've taken it I haven't come up Buddhist! UU and Liberal Quaker come up for me:P

There is nothing from your test which suggests you are not Buddhism-flavored. Fluffy is coolmelese for Integral. So STOP YER DAMN WHINING. [integral buddhists don't whine!]
[But do see a doctor to see if something can be done about that 24% Jehovah's Witness leaking-pus thing that showed up on your test. Eeew.]

ryan,
yeah i think the test is rigged by Buddhists so that the test scores will guarantee to place Buddhism on the "middle path."
Tom,
haha. thanks for the nomination. i'm just whining with style. see how you noticed me?
btw, you're mean. i have good friends who are Jehovah's Witnesses. and some of them are the best people you can ever hang out with. and besides there's no doctor that can cure that portion of my dis-ease. ;)

Well, maybe your Buddhism is suspect because your friends are tirelessly trying to convert you to being a Jehovah's Witness and it doesn't give you enough time to read sutras and meditate.
You should hang out more with Buddhist Vince. He likes you.

"...your friends are tirelessly trying to convert you to being a Jehovah's Witness and it doesn't give you enough time to read sutras and meditate."
uh, oh. whammy again. i'm just too lazy to read sutras and meditate. there never was a time when my JW friends ever attempted to convert me. maybe you're hanging out with non-fluffy JWs. yes, JWs can be fluffy too. and that Vince guy? he's weird.

I'm weird!? At least I'm not %85 scientologist! Now that's weird...
