I missed one because I didn't click effectively and it recorded as missed.

My favorite Hindu deities are Ganesha, Kali and Shiva Nataraja.

I missed that Jonathan Edwards preached during the First Great Awakening.

I considered him, but then thought he was too early. Oops.

Still, 14 out of 15 isn't too shabby.

Looks like that question was the real trick one to make sure that only chretinity experts would get a perfect score... the others were so basic I put them at what any schoolkid should know.

13/15. I didn't know that teecerz could read from the Babble as literacher and the one with Johnathan Edwards threw me.

15/15, and the questions I had to stop and think about were the ones about Christianity.

Not surprising that Atheists and Agnostics get the highest score. We know our bullshit when we see it.

I got 14 out of 15.

That Jonathan Edwards was, during his hopping and skipping career, an incessant, inanely grinning, bright and shiny god-botherer.

After his retirement, he got sense, and then became an out Atheist.

14/15

What's up with this Jewish Sabbath starts on a Friday? Once the Sun goes down, it's Saturday. It's the Muzzies that have Friday.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
