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 1194 Views
Yeah, the last one is hard. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 716 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 621 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 627 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 297 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 825 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 646 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 295 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 308 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 321 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 835 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 750 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 770 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 811 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 715 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 702 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 806 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 886 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 339 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 642 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 841 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 313 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 740 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 304 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 733 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 686 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 896 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 717 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 930 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 692 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 885 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 975 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 659 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 660 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 809 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 769 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 810 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 808 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 703 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 834 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 783 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 777 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 828 Views
13/15 Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:03:36 PM 874 Views
It is on Saturday, but Jewish religious days start at sunset of the evening before. Legolas - 01/10/2010 02:08:10 PM 580 Views
Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 572 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 885 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 689 Views
