[The Outsider]

My rankings fit in pretty well with how I consider religions. The philosophies scored higher in general than religions, though I would identify myself more with Theravada Buddhism than Unitarian Universalism but after reading their descriptions on the site, I think it came down to my strong pro abortion and pro gay stance. But to be honest a lot of these "religions" I have no idea about like Neo Pagan and Reform Judaism. Time to expand some horizons I guess.

[CC1981]

I think it came down to my strong pro abortion and pro gay stance.

Ditto. Though at this point, i feel compelled to say that i am strongly pro-abortion, however, i am medium/mildly against late-term abortion. I can buy the argument that initially it is nothing more than a lump of cells in the uterus and if the mother wants to terminate, she has full right to- but after the 6-7 month stage, when the baby is kicking, it is clearly alive and i am not in favour of abortion at that stage.

At that late a stage, most people are against it not just from an ethical point of view but from a health and life point of view as well. As far as I know, the mother has a serious threat to her life if she goes in for an abortion after 6-7 months. I am also against late abortions because the woman has had ample time to make the choice and make up her mind. There is no point risking your own life as well as ridding of another one(at the 7 month stage, there have been cases of babies surviving outside the womb also I think) after a certain point.
