Interesting that a close second is "divine command," whereby my God and faith tradition give my life direction and meaning. Ah .... internet quizzes.

You scored as Kantianism. Your life is guided by the ethical model of Kantianism: You seek to have consistent laws rule your actions, and your will is directed by reason.

"I do not, therefore, need any penetrating acuteness to see what I have to do in order that my volition be morally good. Inexperienced in the course of the world, incapable of being prepared for whatever might come to pass in it, I ask myself only: can you also will that your maxim become a universal law?"
--Immanuel Kant

Huh, that's funny because I ran into Kant in philosophy of law and in ethics...

I find it interesting that hedonism ranks third - I had the same top three but in different percentages (70, 70, and 50). I wonder what that means?

The father of existentialism, Soren Kierkegaard, was a Christian theologian.
