I think it has more to do with how much general reading one does and one's age and level of education. I suspect that the dear ladies in my church whose reading consists of the Bible, Amish fiction and the local weekly would be fine on the Bible knowledge questions but the general religious knowledge? Not so much.mennomomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-47115745042722505752010-09-30T22:30:11.343-05:002010-09-30T22:30:11.343-05:00I also got 15 of 15, but had to guess on the last ...I also got 15 of 15, but had to guess on the last one (and don't remember the question now).Dan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387429717617727003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-28057647128484184182010-09-30T21:56:11.187-05:002010-09-30T21:56:11.187-05:00Hey, drilled it! 15 of 15 on the quiz at Dan's...Hey, drilled it! 15 of 15 on the quiz at Dan's link. Score one for the Mennonite curve. Dan, confession time-how'd you do?<br /><br />Hari, Pew controlled for education. There was strong correlation between education and correct answers, as well as between atheism and other minority religions and correct answers. Interestingly, there was also a small correlation between worship attendance and correct answers on the quiz.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-3266183614993103142010-09-29T14:48:30.381-05:002010-09-29T14:48:30.381-05:00What are you saying?

There are plenty of places where God strenuously calls us to seek wisdom. What He is saying is that education level does not correlate to finding Truth with a capitol T. The Pharisees were one of the most educated and learned peoples of their day, but they didn't get it. How His statement applies to today, you be the judge.Robert Sievershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073575336019621976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-15366732858731374582010-09-29T12:11:09.608-05:002010-09-29T12:11:09.608-05:00I think Jesus was more anti-religion than Madeline...I think Jesus was more anti-religion than Madeline Murry-O'Haire.brownienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-70842111028102806712010-09-29T09:43:20.053-05:002010-09-29T09:43:20.053-05:00Too often, that verse is interpreted to mean that ...Too often, that verse is interpreted to mean that ignorance is a virtue.
