Oh look. I still remember stuff.

It appears for all that I've slacked off lately, I still remember the stuff I learned when I was the High Church poster child. Though some of these questions had ridiculous potential answers. I don't think I should get points for knowing that Mary and Martha didn't live in San Francisco.

You know the Bible 100%!

I got 85%. It was all the what comes after what, and what belongs in which book questions that did me in.

And personally I'm quite convinced that the 5000 people would have preferred pizza to bread and fish. :)

I once learned a very useful verse for Paul's letters, I will happily pass it on: "Romarna kommo galna efter Filips kolossala testamente till Titus och Filemon." Romarbrevet, Korintierbreven, Galaterbrevet, Efesierbrevet, Kolosserbrevet, Thessalonikerbreven, Timoteusbreven, Titusbrevet, Filemonbrevet. The only hard part is remembering which words represent two letters to the same people.

And with "useful" I just mean in the sense that knowing how to say supercalifragilisticexpialodocious backwards is useful. :-)

That is brilliant.

My geography teacher in high school was crazy about verses like that. He had one for everything! Countries in Africa, rivers in China, everything. The only problem was that the verses were more important than the geography. So we didn't learn the most important rivers in China, we learned the ones that fit into his verses... Verses and blind maps, that´s what we did. You'd think you'd moved away from that in high school, but nooo.

LOL! That reminds me of Populärmusik from Vittula where the main char was taught the rivers of Halland in school (weren't we all? *g*) and then when he saw them realized that they were TINY compared to the rivers up north.

I got 75%, though I admit some of my answers were lucky guesses. Still, I have read the Bible when I was a child. My grandparents house, were I stayed several Summers as a child was a bit lacking in reading material and I was already a voracious reader at that age, so I ended up reading whatever they had, from the Bible, or better yet 'Eternal Stories' (sort of simplified, storified version of Bible, great adventure stories :)), The Arabian Nights, Angelika, whatever (quite a lot of age-inappropriate stuff, actually).

I don't think I've ever read the Bible all the way through. I think I got bored by Proverbs the one time I really tried. I've read the New Testament, though, and in my confirmation classes it was for some reason considered important to be taught the order of the books at least once (though the Ezra - Nehemiah thing I was lucky to remember; I don't actually know the order of all the books).

Thanks! I usually use it for posts/comments about idiot Christians, that is to say, far too often, but I realized making this post that it's my only Christianity icon, not counting the penguins. I am such a fallen soul. :-)

Well, let's put it that way: the last time I have read the Bible for more than just checking a name was in twelfth grade. That was thirteen years ago.

That in combination with my score of 77% should tell you something either about my considerable memory, or about the value of that quiz. :)

I have a feeling that anyone who knows roughly in which time and place the Bible is set could figure out half of the questions. :-)

It's very easy, yes. Hmm, to find some hard Bible quizzes...
