Got 15 out of 15 correct. I scored better than 99% of the public. And I better have gotten the Jonathan Edwards question right since he IS an ancestor…
15/15 for me, and I am a Catholic, although I don’t like a lot of shit that goes down in the Catholic Church, so for me, I believe in God but I’ll dictate my relationship with him.
The lack of belief in transubstantiation in Presbyterianism was drilled into my head. I was raised VERY anti-Catholic…My mom can’t say “transubstantiation” without some kind of smirk or scoff or something.

Being dragged to church 4 and 5 times a week sucked as well. I missed many a cartoon on a Sunday morning because it was time to go to church. Anyone have similar experiences?[/quote]
Maybe you should have used your welfare check (or is it unemployment check?) to buy yourself a Tivo so we wouldn’t be having this conversation.[/quote]
I have a job now, in fact, I just got home from a nearly 12 hour day. Next time…mind your business.
15 out of 15, and I’m an atheist. Admittedly, I guessed 3 questions (the ones about the US constitution and Johnathan Edwards) - but I guess they were culturally dependent. Damn, I just can’t resist online surveys.

That is why you hate me…I kid.[/quote]
Nah, I don’t hate you…I just can’t think of Catholics without some sort of mental scoff or smirk or eye roll.
I used to be a tour guide in Israel. I had to pass a test on Judaism, Islam, Christianity (generic), Roman Catholism, Protestant (emphasis on evangelicals), Druze, and Mormons.
Bethlehem is now a complete shithole, BTW. It used to be a pretty cool town when I was growing up. I wouldn’t go there voluntarily now.

In fairness to you, the question is misleading. The Jewish Sabbath starts on Saturday, but we count from nightfall to nightfall, not mid-night to midnight.

So…it does start on Friday night, at sunset, and goes until Saturday sunset. Most people don’t know that part of it, they just know that the Jews’ holy day is Saturday while the Christians’ is Sunday. The Christians’ used to be on Saturday too but in order to get more “pagans” to convert they changed it to coincide with Apollo and his worship day, which was SUNday…
