smoemeth found this one--it's a much less Christi-Fundi version of the religion meme (written by someone who apparently did some homework) (and can spell).

I was actually expecting to come out Pagan.

You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth. </td> Buddhism 88% Islam 79% agnosticism 75% Judaism 67% Hinduism 67% Paganism 67% Satanism 50% atheism 42% Christianity 38% Which religion is the right one for you?

Depends on how they do it -- make the claim, that is.

True.

I am interested in these mechanisms. I would equate the voice with conscience, in that it may tell you things you don't want to hear, but I'm betting that's too simplistic.

If you can point out a good website as a place to start...?

Picking out of my bookmarks, a couple introductory sites are this essay on the Inner Light, a pamphlet on making decisions by consensus, and a description of how meeting for business (as opposed to meeting for worship) works. More in-depth about daily practice (and quite a lot more) are the editions of Faith and Practice published by the various Yearly Meetings: Philadelphia YM's is pretty standard. The main Quaker website clearinghouse at http://www.quaker.org/ has sites for further exploration.
