Janice is Menno Simons, who Ive never heard of, in the Which famous theologian are you? quiz on facebook. I'm an aetheist, which isn't a promising start, but I thought I'd have a go. Question 1 rather stumped me, since there isn't a "Through grace alone" option; if I did believe in a god it wouldn't be some wossy god who was bound by what I believed, though I'm sure god would be allowed discretion to take into account my beliefs, if so inclined.
I couldn't find a satisfactory answer to any of the other questions either, but I fought my way through to the end, only to discover that I needed to spam 15 friends for it to tell me the answer. Well b*ll*cks to that.

Oh wait...
I came out Menno Simons, too. Must be the good works, pacifism but not always, and adult baptism. Of course, as a weakly atheist Jew, "none of the above" would have been most of my answers.
