- Happiness is a union of the soul with God after one has died
- Bodily pleasures are relatively inferior to spiritual pleasures.
- Philosophical reasoning is not the path to wisdom and happiness.
- A love of God and faith in Jesus is the only path to happiness.
- God is the one to [enable] people to practice the love of God.
- One must love God in order to fulfill moral law.
- People are inherently evil; only the grace of God . . . can save them.

I don't like the utilitarianism of mills nor do I like Kant (his response to Hume accomplished nothing), so I think the test has mis-scored me but here it is anyway.

As a capitalist who believes in a very small government, I thought I'd have a higher Ayn Rand score - but didn't work out that way (probably because of her beliefs re: self interest & religion).

I consider myself to be a paleoconservative, libertarian and I am pro-Southern secession from the U.S.A. (which won't happen again in my life time).

Way to go! No wonder we get along so well. Unfortunately, it's a little odd holding these views and being a Northerner. Especially here at a big liberal university (luckily, it's an engineering school, so I don't have to worry as much, with everyone busy studying like mad).

Speaking of, does anyone know where I can get an affordable copy of Davis' Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government? No library around here has it, nor any bookstore.

I thought you were a California boy.

Born, raised, and resident!

But that doesn't mean that I can't spot the truth when I see it. I saw through the yankee lies in high school. The secession of the Southern states was completely legal and the yankees had no right to engage in a war of aggression against the South.
