Mrs. Ark?

[paulistano]

10% of Americans think Joan of Arc was Noah's wife.

Roughly 50% of Americans can't name a Gospel in the Bible (e.g. Matthew, Mark, Luke or John).

1. This says good things about atheism in America. The more it spreads, the more progress we can make as a society.

2. Dude, we all know Joan of Arc was Noah's wife. But did you know Napoleon was a short dead dude? It's just like George Washington says at the Hall of Presidents..... "Welcome to the Hall of Presidents."

-And who says that atheists are more intelligent than everyone else? The atheists I've known were a bunch of potheads who would be likely to say something like: Dude, we all know Joan of Arc was Noah's wife. But did you know Napoleon was a short dead dude? You know the type, they have every DVD that exists and could tell you every minor flaw they've ever seen in a movie/comic book, yet they've never opened a newspaper and couldn't tell you what's going on in Iraq or with the immigration situation. Yeah. WOOWOO!! Go athiests!

First of all, there is such a thing as an atheist Republican. I know exactly what's going on in Iraq and because of that, I support President Bush and the war. You won't get that deal from many atheists, I'm sure

(1) the fact that I'm not gullible enough to swallow any of that 2,000-year-old bullcrap, (2) the fact that 2,000 years of scientific progress has vastly improved the way we understand our universe and its origins on a scientific level, reducing mankind's need to use the creationism fairy tale as a convenient crutch for its lack of true knowledge, and (3) my belief that Christian beliefs simply make NO sense.

Thanks for shoving your belief system down my throat and pushing it as absolute truth. Heyyy! I've always been able to grasp both science and religion.

Also, I can enjoy a good movie here and there, but I'm not a celebrity worshipper who memorizes quotes from every inane movie that has ever come out. -And Bill and Ted type movies stopped being cool when I was eleven. I have a sense of humor, but perhaps the things I laugh at may be different from the things you find humorous.

What's "The Bible"?

lol

I feel rather silly, it took me about 10minutes to get why you would think Joan of Arc was Noah's wife

[glitterberrys]

Ditto.

Then I slammed my head into my desk.

Honestly , do you have to even believe in God to realize the bible is an important document in world history, philosophy, and even as a testament to how people lived in another part of the world?

I read what some people here say and it boggle my mind that they are so proud of their ignorance of this document and that it somehow makes them smarter to posess no knowledge of it.

I agree with this.
I am an atheist, but I've got mad Bible skillz.
It makes for good ammo. ;)
Leviticus, on it's own, is enough for a ton of laughs.
My favorite, though, is the book of Job. I watched the movie Trading Places and was reminded of this book of the Bible...

I can name a few Gospels... and I'm a Jew.
