Some denominations still do. Joel Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 03:28:48 PM
or I'm sure I remember reading that. Hopefully I didn't just imagine it:P

Seventh Day Adventists being the ones with which I'm most familiar, but then, they were one of the products of the second Great Awakening. ;) And, according to Wikipedia, the 12th largest religion on Earth and 6th largest "internationally active" one (whatever that means. ) Technically, though most Christians don't know it, the Sabbath didn't move just because of the Resurrection. Paul and other NT writers are generally felt to refer to Sunday as "the Lords Day, " because that's when Christ rose, but the Sabbath is the Sabbath forever. Heck, look at a calendar; what's the seventh day of the week? Not that it matters much in terms of Christian doctrine; we're supposed to honor every day as the Sabbath in Christ. Though a lot of us don't do that either. :[

Religious quiz snoopcester - 01/10/2010 10:58:44 AM 1359 Views
Yeah, the last one is hard. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 871 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 784 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 802 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 363 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 998 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 823 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 365 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 376 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 391 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 1029 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 942 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 943 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 983 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 894 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 856 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 978 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 1052 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 423 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 799 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 982 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 376 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 892 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 372 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 891 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 866 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1069 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 895 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1117 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 870 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1068 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 1177 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 820 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 821 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 982 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 933 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 971 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 971 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 872 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 991 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 945 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 907 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 985 Views
13/15 Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:03:36 PM 1049 Views
It is on Saturday, but Jewish religious days start at sunset of the evening before. Legolas - 01/10/2010 02:08:10 PM 744 Views
Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 726 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 1042 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 853 Views
