14/15 I second guessed Jonathan Edwards. And sweet and pointless as Griff pointed out.

100%

Weird coincidence, about 30 seconds after answering the question about Job, Two and a Half Men, on in the background, had a few lines about Job in context.

Jews and atheists/agnostic know their religion best. This gels with my experience. They're the ones who have to fight hardest to defend their beliefs. But why are there no stats for hindus, muslims and buddhists?

I'm thinking I'd like to introduce a religion licence. Believe whatever you want, but if you want to express your views in public, you must pass a test like this. :lol:

These were some of 32 questions in the Pew Forum’s recent U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey that covered core teachings, history and leading figures of major world religions. The results ranged from expected to surprising. The research was conducted by the Washington-based nonpartisan Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life.

So the linked quiz (15 questions) is at best an abridged version of the poll that Pew conducted. FWIW.

93% - I missed the question about the Jewish sabbath. D'oh!

93% I thought it was illegal to even acknowledge the Bible existed in public schools.

Not to be a smart ass but that really is a common misconception on the right. Student led prayer is also ok and pretty common on sports teams. It is only when authority figures do it that it becomes an issue. Of course, it is still commonly done, but wouldn't stand up in court if someone pursued it.

14/15. *smiles* Though I guessed on two of them (Not being able to lead prayers in school, and the Johnathon Edwards guy, who I'd never heard of :P)

The one I got wrong, was the Jewish sabbath.

I got the last one wrong, too. It was really obscure.

Not so obscure. We read "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" in public school literature class. Must have been senior year of high school. Jonathan Edwards was a hoot.

Quote:

The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect, over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked; his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight; you are ten thousand times so abominable in his eyes as the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours.

Of course, he was a colonial American, so Dana would have no reason to know of him.
