Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2006OTP: Belief-O-Matic
What's your belief? The Belief-O-Matic knows. http://beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html I'm not surprised that the Catholicism I was raised in ranks 26th on my list. Cooly > What's your belief?

Cooly the list percentages are interesting. i'm wondering if that's because there are that many overlaps/similarities in supposedly different belief systems. kate ~kenny wrote: > What's your belief?

I had the same situation, raised Catholic and left the church, and it is 26th on the list. I always refer to myself as a "Recovering Catholic", no offense intended.

Me too. Raised Catholic and left the church after too many years to count. It ranked 24th on my list. Me too, Cooly. It ranked 27 on my list.

There seems to be a lot of us here, we may have to start a new support group. :) Cooly > Me too, Cooly.

Everything in between the above percentages are basically meaningless. However, I am a Gastonomic Jew.

Gastronomic Jews preserve their heritage primarily through traditional food, especially at its appropriate season. Today, for instance, I had matzoh brei (fried matzoh) for breakfast. It's crumpled matzoh soaked briefly in scrambled egg mixture (*never* pre-soaked in hot water!) and fried up, served with cinnamon sugar (well, I used Splenda instead of sugar).

Alice, you nailed it. In fact, Passover is my favorite holiday. But, it's the one holiday that enables me to really experience my Jewish heritage. Having to do it with Jewish soul food sure helps. <g> SignatureDi zinkadoodle at gmail dot com www.pbase.com/di www.dustydoggie.blogspot.com (WARNING: Very Political) Harv, I think a Gastonomic Jew only eats vegetables.

As in "gastro", relating to digestion. <g> And, let me tell you, Jewish soul food is nowhere near vegetarian. However, it may lead to gas problems. <vbg> SignatureDi zinkadoodle at gmail dot com www.pbase.com/di www.dustydoggie.blogspot.com (WARNING: Very Political) >> Harv, I think a Gastonomic Jew only eats vegetables.

ROTFLMAO One might say - hardly! Eastern European Jewish 'soulfood' is what supports so many cardiologists in major cities. Example - I wouldn't consider using anything except shmaltz (chicken fat) for my knaidlach (matzah balls - a large dumpling). It's sooooo gooood! Rar superior flavor to using oils. And I'm famous for my brisket. (New synagogue doesn't have professional ovens like the old one did so I haven't 'catered' any dinners, yet. Still, word has gotten around). >However, it may lead to > gas problems. <vbg> Middle Eastern and Near Eastern Jewish cuisine does feature more vegetables and legume based foods. Adelle do you share your famous brisket recipe, adelle? diane, salivating LOL - not that I'm cooking these foods, but it reminds me of the rep I've gained at our potlucks around here. If it looks weird, no one can readily identify the food, but it tastes pretty darn good, Nann must have brought it! I've been surprised at the "strange" foods they've goobled right down. They didn't know what the curried chicken salad was, but it surely disappeared! Haven't sprung tabouli on them yet, may have to try that this summer. The crowd in Bay City seemed to think it looked too "healthy", but folks here don't mind that as long as it tastes good.

I thought I'd seen that, but began doubting my memory last night. I remain in reality a Christian though and happily baked *leavened* bread yesterday! LOL still..... all the talk got me taking the scale again - similar results to before 1. Reform Judaism (100%) 2. Liberal Quakers (97%) 3. Bahá'í Faith (96%) 4. Neo-Pagan (94%) 5. Unitarian Universalism (92%) 6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (88%) Happy Passover! and Happy Easter!

We generally come out mostly Liberal Quakers with mainstream protestant fairly far down on the list. I think hte creators of this have little sense of the reality in mainstream protestantism, as least in the Episcopal Church, these days. Though we are on the liberal fringe of the church for where we live now, overall we really are pretty much in the center of the church. Then again, forced choice questionnaires are problematic, rarely having the EXACT answer one wants.
