So guys and gals, What philosophy do you follow? (http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=2549N)

Here are my results.

What philosophy do you follow?
You scored as a Existentialism
Your life is guided by the concept of Existentialism:
You choose the meaning and purpose of your life.

“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”
“It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.”
--Jean-Paul Sartre

“It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.”
--Blaise Pascal

booo for justice and fairness!

YAY for existentialists! WOOT! Jean Paul Sartre! We actually studied this in school it's a very interesting philosohphy.

If you're an "existentialist" it means that you think that existence comes before essence. If you are not existentialist (like a devout religious person) you believe that ESSENCE comes before existence.

The idea being that either god gave you your essence in life, your purpose before you were born, or that you discover it during your life, and that you choose your own path for yourself, you're not "destined" to do anything.

But that's only the existentialist side of everything. I feel smart.:thumbup:

You scored as a Divine Command (with Existentialism only a hair behind)

Your life is directed by Divine Command: Your god and religion give you meaning and direction. Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.” --King James Version of the Bible “Even as a tree has a single trunk but many branches and leaves, there is one religion--human religion--but any number of faiths.” --Mahatma Gandhi More info at "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Arocoun"

Divine Command 75%
Existentialism 70%
Justice (Fairness) 55%
Utilitarianism 50%
Apathy 50%
Kantianism 50%
Hedonism 40%
Strong Egoism 10%
Nihilism 5%

And i'll say that Mahatma Ghandhi had it right when he said there is but one religion.
Religion: The methodologies devised by Man to reach God.
If there is a God, He will have set up His methods for Man to reach Him. Our ways mean nothing.
