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 837 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 757 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 771 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 348 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 964 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 779 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 350 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 362 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 380 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 976 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 910 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 908 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 934 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 859 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 828 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 949 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 1006 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 394 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 772 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 950 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 365 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 862 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 360 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 861 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 834 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1038 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 866 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1082 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 840 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1028 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 1134 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 783 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 788 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 950 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 903 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 940 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 941 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 843 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 963 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 916 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 877 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 955 Views

Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 699 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 1006 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 820 Views
