It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM
Oh, no doubt Buddhism is more well known globally. The question probably wouldn't have been on there if they weren't polling an Americans, but an American who's never heard of the Mormons has lived his life under a rock. So it's a religion, and any American who doesn't know about it probably doesn't know about any others.


Well yes, hence it fits in an Americocentric quiz on religion;)

Yeah, the last one is hard. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 938 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 849 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 879 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 403 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 1070 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 890 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 405 Views
I'm fairly sure it isn't seen as a must know in the British educational system *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:42:07 AM 416 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 422 Views
I'm sure you're right, but it shouldn't be, because the formative influence was/is huge. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:15:09 PM 1114 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 1008 Views
I think when a country becomes a world power you need to cover more of its past. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:00:54 PM 1017 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 1068 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 958 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 916 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 1055 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 1128 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 463 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 864 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 1051 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 421 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 962 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 405 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 983 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 925 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1132 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 962 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1217 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 943 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1142 Views
I got the maximum too, but then I'd seen the Pew report on the whole thing. Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:12:24 AM 1254 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 887 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 889 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 1043 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 1013 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 1033 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 1059 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 937 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 1062 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 1003 Views
There were some questions which had nothing to do with America in the longer version of the survey. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:23:54 PM 970 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 1054 Views

Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 785 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 1111 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 916 Views
Some denominations still do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:28:48 PM 1003 Views
