Okay, this will only be interesting if you actually take the quiz and comment on it. Here is the deal. Below you will find a list of 14 belief systems. Rank them from 1 to 14 with 1 being the strongest belief system to which you hold yourself. I did this in a class and it really made me think about what I really feel strongly about what is only theory in my life. In the comment, list how you ranked them.
Law and Order: elimination of crime and unrest
A Comfortable Life: a pleasurable and successful life
A World at Peace: a world free of war and conflict
Your Life: protection of your life
Equality: brotherhood, equal opportunity for all
Lives Of Our Loved Ones: survival of your loved ones
National Defense: protection from attack
Personal & Family Security: safe and free from worry
Respect From Others: looked up to, admired by others
Salvation: saved, eternal life
Self-Fulfillment: developing myself, my life fully
Wisdom: a mature, satisfying understanding of life
Democracy: a truly democratic representative government
All Human Life: the survival of all human life

interesting thought, Zach.
John and Tiina are both copping out, it's a limited excercise.
here's my fleshy, selfish list.
Lives of loved ones
Salvation
Wisdom
Respect from Others
A comfortable life
A World at Peace
Law and Order
Equality
All human life
Self Fulfillment
Your Life
National Defense
Democracy
Okay, I'll list what I came up with in the 5 minutes I had to do this in a seminar. I'm going to take a different path than Zach and say that if Salvation is number one on my list, the rest of these things ought to be a natural outpouring of our lives.
1) Salvation
2) Wisdom
3) Equality
4) Lives of our loved ones
5) All Human Life
6) Self Fulfillment: (Defined as self-development, not gratification)
A Natural Outcome if 1-5 are our commitment
7) Law and Order
8) Respect from others
9) Personal and Family security
10) A World at Peace
These really don't matter to God's Kingdom
11) Your Life
12) National Defense
13) Democracy
14) A Comfortable Life
Also, understand that this is my "This is the way my life ought to be" list. Making decisions based upon this list is a whole different ballgame.
