The religion thread.

[Sgt PSN]

I only got an 8.  Not surprising though because even when I was a "practicing" christian, I was never really interested in actually learning about any of it.  I just wanted to go through the motions so I could get into heaven.  And that's probably why agnostics/atheists know more about religion....I think there's a hell of a lot of people who claim to be religious but really aren't.  They just go through the motions as well out of fear of going to hell.  And they pray whenever they play the lotto.  But whatever, I don't need to know everything about religion to know that it's not for me.

that quiz has very little to do with religion in terms of needing to practice it or care about it to know the answers...its mostly just common knowledge...you dont need to practice any religion to know that pakistan is a muslim country moses parted the red sea and you cant have a prayer service in public schools

i got 9

you wont believe me but i got 15.

granted about 4/5 of the questions i wouldnt know without the multiple choice making it blatantly obvious. also i guess the 1-2 things about the juden helped.

And yet based on the results most people don't even possess the common knowledge that you're talking about. So... not all that common.

12/15


Got 2 that I should have known wrong (The first great awakening, Mother Teresa's religion) and one that I honestly wasn't sure on (can a teacher read from the bible as an example of literature)

"mostly"

[rjs246]

Oh right. I forgot how you hedge all of your proclamations just in case someone points out a glaring flaw in your logic. Carry on...

[ice grillin you]

wow you really dont think most of those questions are common knowledge

im a dope...so 9 of them def are and i got a few of them wrong that most people would know...id say 11 to 12 are definitely common knowledge questions...which would...hold on for this....equal "most" of them

[rjs246]

I go to church with these guys...



Sometimes they make me a bit paranoid, but they have good sweet leaf. It was so good after having some, I saw a bunch of fairies wearing boots.
