This is probably the most hilarious quiz I've ever taken!

[timmae]

So awesome...

"James and John are discussing Proust on an infinitely thin sheet of titanium balanced on the vertex of a regular pentagonal pyramid made of ice..." had me crying laughter.

[ISiddiqui]

Btw, it was Pelagianism for me. But its the journey, not the result...

[timmae]

Mine was E... (forget the word). There is a supreme being but it is believing, not following the doctrine, that will get you into the afterlife... or something like that. Funny thing is I am an atheist. Hah!

[CAsterling]

Nice that they listed a charity as "International Commission for the rights of Squid" - pity they didn't specify if it was Giant, Colossal or regular Squid, but still

[flere-imsaho]

That was awesome.

Final Result:
Pelagianism

You are Pelagianism!

Named after its most famous proponent, the British monk Pelagius, Pelagianism taught that human nature is not compromised by original sin and that the will is therefore capable of choosing to follow the moral good without God's aid. Pelagius's fiercest opponent was St Augustine of Hippo, whose writings insisted upon the reality of original sin and the need for divine grace to perform any good works. Augustine's position won out over that of Pelagius, and Pelagianism was condemned as a heresy by the Council of Carthage in 418, a decision that was confirmed at the Council of Ephesus in 431. Despite this apparent victory for Augustinianism, the precise relationship between grace and free will remained controversial, and a variety of "semi-Pelagian" positions were taught throughout the fifth and early sixth centuries.

Best online quiz ever.

Which Early Christian Heresy Are You?
Final Result:
Antinomianism

You are Antinomianism!

Antinomianism teaches that, since salvation is by faith alone, Christians are under no obligation to obey any moral law. Views of this sort were held by various Gnostic sects in the early centuries of the church, who argued that laws governing human behaviour were of no account since the inward spiritual essence of the human person could never be affected by the actions of the physical body. The term "antinomianism" itself, however, only arose in the aftermath of the continental Reformation, in which some of the more extreme followers of Luther understood the new emphasis on salvation through faith to invalidate the validity of any standard of moral law. Although Luther himself condemned this belief as a heresy, bitter antinomian controversies continued to spring up within Lutheranism and within English Puritanism throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The doctrine is condemned in the Lutheran Book of Concord and in the Decree on Justification of the Council of Trent.

Oh, I like that one.

[ISiddiqui]

I'd take most Christian heresies over Antinomianism, FWIW (a spiritual underpinning for nihilistic action, no thanks). Well, Pelagianism can lead to really bad stuff as well (Pelagius was quite a harsh ass), semi-Pelagianism is much better.

[stevew]

Arianism.

But that dude keeps screwing up my fantasy football season.

[britrock88]

Also a Pelagian.

[OldGiants]

Pelagianism, too.

Apparently Hippos don't like us.

Montanism

You are Montanism!

Named after its founder, the second-century preacher Montanus, Montanism was a Christian movement which based its teachings upon special prophetic revelations granted to Montanus himself, along with his companions Prisca and Maximilla. Although the exact tenets taught by the three erstwhile prophets are unclear, Montanists were known for their strict disciplinary standards, which forbade remarriage after the death of a spouse and required strict fasting. Although Montanus's prophecies initially seemed to be compatible with mainstream Christian doctrine, Montanists eventually formed a separate sect which granted doctrinal authority to the writings of the three prophets. The most famous Montanist was Tertullian, a prominent African theologian, who became convinced in later life that the prophecies of Montanus were genuine; Montanists are therefore sometimes referred to in later writings as "Tertullianists."

[Peregrine]

Too bad they are limiting themselves to /early/ Christian heresies - I want the chance to be a Cathar, Bogomilist or Hussite!

[OldGiants]

My random thought is for a DRUNK HISTORY european version that starts with a piece about Martin Luther and the 95 Theses. "What? You're F***ing saved when you put money in the box?" Plus Sean Hayes would make a great Tetzel.

[BishopMVP]

I got Docetism... can't copy it over since I did it on a phone.
