But I don't get how I am ranked as 100% Liberal Protestant, given my beliefs about the Godhead and the nature of salvation. Surely I'd be at least somewhat less than 100%, just based on that... I'm guessing the quiz ranked me less Mormon than I consider myself because of my views John Gustav-Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557940681381951271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956057989227103850.post-30737191143453603232009-06-29T15:49:37.149-05:002009-06-29T15:49:37.149-05:00When I took the quiz, mainline liberal christian w...When I took the quiz, mainline liberal christian was 100% and LDS was 97%.

Having read your post I took it again, and guess what. Swap LDS up to 4th place instead of 6th on your list, and the results were identical for me.
