Which Church Father are You? I am Origen!

I discovered this little "quiz" over at God in a Shrinking Universe and decided I had to try it out. Here is the Church Father that I apparently identify with:


You’re 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.


Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!




I'm not exactly sure why this is -- but maybe it means I'm really a heretic, and unless the Bible was written in English, I'm not sure about the original languages -- I like to take the easy road -- Maybe I'm really Augustine -- but then again. Well check it out and see what you are! If you dare!

Evidently, I'm St. Justin Martyr!

"You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers."

Dennis, or should I say Opie,

I like yours better -- and its safer! Origen could be a bit crazy at times.
