Belief System Selector Results

I took this Belief System Selector test. If you go to the main religious tests page, you can check out other similar tests. The list below is modified by my input. The results are scored on a curve. The highest score is 100, it represents the closest match to my responses. This does not mean, that this, or any religion has every view that I selected. However, the religion at the top of my list shares more of my selected beliefs, than the others. Here are the questions and my answers.

1. Number and nature of deity(ies):
My Answer: The supreme force is the impersonal Ultimate Reality (or life force, ultimate truth, cosmic order, absolute bliss, universal soul), which resides within and/or beyond all.

2.Are there human incarnation(s) of god (or of gods/goddesses):
My answer: Many (or countless) incarnations.

3. What are the origins of the physical universe and life on earth:
My answer: All matter and life forms are manifestation (or illusions) of the eternal Absolute (Ultimate Truth, Universal Soul or Mind, etc.).

4. What happens to humans after death?
My answer: Rebirths occur (continually, or until all life's lessons are learned and one merges with the life force, or until complete enlightenment and eternal bliss are attained).

5. Why is there terrible wrongdoing in the world?
My answer: Egoism (self-importance) leads to desire, craving, and attachments, which can lead to unwholesome thoughts and wrong behavior, e.g. greed, hate, and violence.

6. One or more spirit beings exist who can cause human suffering.
My answer: Not applicable.

7. Why is there so much suffering in the world?
My answer: Suffering is part of God's divine will, plan, or design (e.g. to discipline, test, challenge, strengthen faith and moral character, or for reasons that we cannot or may not know). Spiritual or cosmic imbalance and disharmony may result in suffering. Unwholesome thoughts and/or deeds (greed, hatred, and violence) always return as suffering (karma).
