      13/13 science
      13/15 religion
      Picked Saturday for Jewish day and was unlucky on the great awakening question.

        17/3 on the science, 5/-11 on the religion. (Or, like a lot of others here, correct on everything except the great awakening question, where I guessed wrong.)

        What I'd really like to see is what happens when peope get a question wrong, get told the right answer, and then take the test again some number of months later. My guess is the results would be even more depressing.

          Isn't this one of those issues you orthodox folks split up over?
          Communion? No. Actually the Catholic church permits us to take communion with them, while the Orthodox don't permit us to take communion with them. The Catholic church permits them to take Communion with us, but the Orthodox church doesn't permit their congregants to take communion from us. There are no doctrinal differences over communion.

          The Great schism has more to do with Petrine primacy than anything else.

          Or was that the protestants?
          Yep - the Protestants deny the Real Presence, transubstantiation, etc.

            Why do yo believe Ben? He never even took the test.
            It was HS level science. Not difficult. As for the CO2 question - how is it contrary to my beliefs? I question anthropogenic (ie, human caused) global warming. Also, "scientists believe X" is a true statement, that in no way implies that x is actually true, nor does it imply, "I believe X to be true."

                It's logically inconsistent to believe CO2 is a greenhouse gas and yet also believe that humans aren't the cause of warming. The human contribution to global CO2 emissions is simple math.

                It's like believing that pee is yellow... but then questioning whether or not the pool is yellow because all the kids are peeing in it.

                The simplest explanation is that you are an idiot. I'm content with that.
                To us, it is the BEAST.
