yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	Just wondering if anyone saw this? http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/28/dont-know-much-about-religion-youre-not-alone-study-finds/ I thought the results were interesting. I found the original 32 questions and took it, just for fun. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	yonuh, I was surprised that people didn't know the 1st four books of The New Testament. That seems like a no-brainer to me. Some didn't know where Jesus was born? That also seems impossible. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	I took the test, twice, answered all 10 questions correctly both times, but was told I only answered 9/10 correctly (which is why I did it twice). The second time I watched more closely and DID get all 10 right, but still only got credited with 9/10. Which means that the results could be skewed if the poll isn't tabulating correctly. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	I didn't do the 10 questions, so I don't know about that. The original poll was 32 questions, and when I took that one, it tabulated correctly. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	Jabber, I can't name all first 4 books of Old Testament. Except for Genesis & Job(?). Unless I run over to the Bible. Now that I revealed this, I hope my ignorance doesn't reflect my humanity or my capacity to distinguish what is moral vs. immoral. (This is interesting though...just how a child learns about morality without religion. There's alot of us like this.) However as an intellectual test/challenge it would be worthwhile to try on a cross-section of people for all ages and backgrounds. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Interesting. I only saw the 10 question quiz. It's a quiz about religion, not Christianity, though most of the questions were related to the Christian faith. I'm all for anything like this to help educate all of us about all faiths. Our world is too small to be focused in on one faith only. Yes, practice one faith, but learn about others and we'll find that there are many similarities. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	New Testament, orchid, i.e.: Matthew, Mark, Luke & John! I think that'd be easier than the Old Testament of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. And I'm not saying every human should be able to recite chapter and verse of well-known scripture. I haven't memorized them. I know what's in the Bible, pretty much; but not the exactness of 'em. And I do need to study all faiths! I'm not that well educated on ALL FAITHS! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
