A virtual hoard of the shiny things I find on the internet.

 

How much do you know about religion? And how do you compare with the average American? Here’s your chance to find out.

U.S. Religious Knowledge Quiz

I got 14 out of 15 and it’s been a long time since I’ve been to any kind of religious service (that wasn’t a funeral or a wedding).

13/15.  Stupid Catholic school education done me wrong.

14/15. That’ll teach me to read the *entire* question when it comes to reading the Bible as literature.

(via section9)

13/15 - Gotta brush up on my Great Awakening knowledge & Supreme Court law.

15/15. My liberal arts education (and being 1 class away from having a Philosophy minor) served me well.

14/15. Foiled by the First Great Awakening.

Not even gonna take this. I know I’d do terribly. Some I think are too simple/obvious to be true.  (via etrehumain)

15 out of 15 - hallelujah!  :-D  Um, please pray for mercy, as Undercover Nun is guilty of the sin of pride.

(via undercovernun)

I got 14 out of 15, tripped up by “Bible as literature.” My 9th grade English class read the Bible as literature, but it was a private (nonreligious) school and I just figured there was a reason other than “not wanting to deal with the shitstorm” that most public schools don’t teach it that way.

Nonetheless, I was gratified to see that I outscored pretty much all the respondents to the original poll. ;)

  28. isnteverything said: First Great Awakening should have come up in a history class somewhere along the line, or at least that’s how I know anything about it. It ties in with American Revolution, I think.
