Yeah, I got 100%, too, and it's the most idiotic, shallow, meaningless test of religious knowledge I've ever seen. It's a pile of meaningless, PC trivia that tests one's knowledge of useless trivia related to religion and not one's understanding of religion. Give me time, and I could make a MUCH better quiz.

I could too. It really wasnt tough.

I do agree with the professor. I think people should be educated about different religions in school.

Yes, other religions besides secular humanism... and Islam. Here's an idea:

Seriously, that quiz seems easy enough for us, but I know a man who teaches at the local high school... around Christmas time, he heard some kids talking... some of them literally had NO IDEA that Christmas had anything to do with the Bible or Jesus. :(

Sad that such a HUGE part of our cultural heritage had been obscured, no matter what one's individual beliefs are.

...and Jesus might have slapped the shit out of you, too.

That is so messed up. we need to change that. first by learning the Gospel and that after we learn it the Lord will give us the spirit to teach it.

I highly doubt. I'd also appreciate it if you didn't mock my Lord and Savior.
