I subscribe to Beliefnet, because I find some Buddhist sayings really comforting and enlightening. This just came, and I thought I'd share it. I'm a quaker!

Says I'm a liberal Quaker 100% - and I don't even like oatmeal! Not enough questions to be accurate IMO. Next was Neo-Pagan, followed by Unitarian Universalist, neither of which are real religions. I matched dead last with Catholics-I can't let my mother find out!

I'd be the worst Quaker because their church services are booooooring. They sit in silence until someone feels 'moved by God' to speak to the congregation. They also believe all music is satanic by virtue of Lucifer being the angel of music/harp/lyre before his fall from grace.

Still, I might live with it as long as I could wear one of those hats.

I didn't realize they thought music was satanic. Interesting. They kind of remind me of the amish.

I think he might be thinking of the tape he has of "Footloose". My brother is a Quaker and a talented musician as well. As with any Religion, the "old days" were full of repression, based more on the times than on the Religion itself.

this is the problem with getting your information on what people believe from posters on a website and why I refer people to not listen to what I say about Jesus, but to go to the Bible. Have a question about Quakers and music? Google it and find out. Whats the difference between an Evangelical and a Baptist? Find the link and read it. What did the Old Testament prophesize about the Messiah? Find the Old Testament either online or by reading it and find out. What did Jesus say about Heaven and how you get there? Read the Gospels.

If you find out the info, pass it along to all of us. Just dont rely on me or anybody else here to be the brilliant, all knowing, experts. Seek out the truth. Research it out. Pray about it. Want it.
