I found out . . . !
. . . by taking the "Which Church Father Are You?" quiz . . .
. . . I’m an Origen!
"You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity . . . well, you’d better hide the kitchen shears."
That's what it says, anyway, and it must be true, since it explains so well why I turned up in the vicinity of Gandhi and the Dalai Lama when I took the (also eerily accurate) Political Compass quiz a while back.
My wife is not at all pleased about this.
Find out which Church Father YOU are at The Way of the Fathers!
