Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM
Seriously, look it up (and don't ask me to explain it because I can't. )
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;)

Right, but it's still first and foremost a religious question. If a German were ignorant of the Mormons I'd call his religious knowledge deficient; if an American were I'd call it nonexistent.

Yeah, the last one is hard. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 860 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 776 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 791 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 359 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 987 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 802 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 357 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 371 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 387 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 1019 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 932 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 931 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 956 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 884 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 846 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 970 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 1026 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 401 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 790 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 972 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 371 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 882 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 368 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 881 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 856 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1060 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 887 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1107 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 861 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1053 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 1167 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 809 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 813 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 971 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 923 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 962 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 961 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 863 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 983 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 934 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 898 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 976 Views

Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 715 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 1032 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 842 Views
