Are You Smarter Than A 5th gr... I mean Atheist?

[Exquisition]

I was going to take the test but the first question didn't offer the alternative response of:

' e. Don't give a fuck. '

So I respectfully declined like a good atheist.

30/32 Who is/was Jonathan Edwards? And missed out on 'by Faith'.

That was the question that I guessed (correctly) on.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Jonathan Edwards was an 18th century Puritan minister most famous for his sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.


It's a depressing read.

 

[unspokensecrets]

I agree with many of you. It was a pretty tame "test". I only got through 20 of them before giving up as I found the site very tedious to deal with. I did get all 20 right though. Apparently my computer did not like the site as it kept lagging or hanging up on pages.

 

[LongDrySpell]

If you really don't know an answer and you select "don't know", that should be correct.

I was thinking that too. Also, the phrasing on some of the questions was just strange: "Would you tell me if Mother Teresa was a..." Well, if she was a Buddhist I'd tell you, but if she was a Jew I'd keep that to myself.

 

[CHNOPS]

I got 29.

What a stupid way to make an online quiz, though. You have to click twice to get to the next question. Just give the quiz and tell me how I did afterward.

Also, I didn't realize Jonathan Edwards was so influential.

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

That is the one I missed. When I saw Edwards, the first question that popped up was- "What song did he write ?"

Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancing
Some man's gone, he's tried to run my life
Don't know what he's asking

He tells me I'd better get in line
Can't hear what he's saying
When I grow up I'm going to make it mine
But these aren't dues I been paying

(Chorus)
How much does it cost, I'll buy it
The time is all we've lost, I'll try it
But he can't even run his own life
I'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine

29/32

I can't believe the average score is 16 out of 32. We (America) are a stupid people.

 

[Angeline]

31/32. I fucked up the "salvation only through faith" one, I put both Catholics and Protestants.

I got that one wrong, too. I figured Protestants would have to actually do something. That they only have to believe explains a lot to me.

You answered 31 of 32 questions correctly for a total score of 97%.

nope. that's pretty much why i don't take protestants seriously. well, that and the wesleyan minister telling me that evolution was based solely on a pig tooth. fucking asshole.

 

[sigh]

I've never even heard of the First Great Awakening. I must still be asleep.

31 of 32

British world record holder in the triple jump.

Or a curmudgeon in a wig.

They probably thought of the latter.

Weeeell, yes. The whole point of Protestantism is that Rome is a dog-and-pony show, full of rituialistic hooey and idol worship. It's a protest against that stuff, hence the name. Read the scriptures, believe in the J-man and follow his moral advice and you're good. Can't really argue with that IMO. Lining up your Hail Marys, buying indulgence like carbon offsets and engaging in symbolic cannibalism seems rather weird, if you ask me.

You answered 24 of 32 questions correctly for a total score of 75%. My pastor would be so ashamed of me. LOL

When I saw Jonathon Edwards I thought the psychic guy on tv that asks people if they have anyone in their family that starts with a J or a G name... . LOL

Cotton Mather killed Johnathan Edwards.
