Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM
I suppose it may also be worth mentioning that I've never had a US history course, as I lived in Canada while in gradeschool.

Since Christ was crucified on Good Friday, that meant the Sabbath began at sun down, which meant the same people who demanded the crucifixion turned around a few hours after it was performed and demanded Christ be taken off the cross, because under Mosaic law you can't have an executed man hanging out on the Sabbath, it profanes the holy day.

Yeah, the last one is hard. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 961 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 869 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 905 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 419 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 1106 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 910 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 416 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 451 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 436 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 1138 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 1033 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 1058 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 1088 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 976 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 937 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 1082 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 1148 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 475 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 894 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 1072 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 433 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 985 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 415 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 1002 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 948 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1150 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 986 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1240 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 961 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1162 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 1276 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 912 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 906 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 1062 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 1030 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 1051 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 1083 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 952 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 1090 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 1024 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 996 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 1071 Views

Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 1133 Views
