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 819 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 738 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 750 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 340 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 942 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 757 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 341 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 353 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 372 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 952 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 893 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 885 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 916 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 836 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 811 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 928 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 986 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 383 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 752 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 929 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 358 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 843 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 352 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 840 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 801 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1014 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 846 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1062 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 819 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1010 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 1116 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 756 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 768 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 929 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 883 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 921 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 922 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 812 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 947 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 896 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 859 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 938 Views

It is on Saturday, but Jewish religious days start at sunset of the evening before. Legolas - 01/10/2010 02:08:10 PM 697 Views
Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 679 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 988 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 803 Views
