I haven't attended church regularly in almost three decades, but my father was also a part-time Southern Baptist minister.

I haven't attended church regularly since 1970, but my uncle was a full time Southern Baptist minister. Also, my parents would read different translations of the Bible and discuss the different versions - but my parents are Presbyterians.

I haven't looked at it in decades.

35. In Jesus' parable, who stopped to help a man in need?
Donald Trump
Donald Duck
Don Knotts
a Samaritan

Or "The Blessed Mr Limpet"?
How about "The Shakiest Staff in the Mid-East"?

87%, a couple of guesses.

bad considering I don't go to church or read the Bible.

It's been at least five years since I read it cover-to-cover, and the last version I read was King James (not the best benchmark). Some of the options were just plain silly - "Donald Trump, Donald Duck" - come on. The choices should at least be plausible.

I'm a little shocked that I scored so low, but I think most of the failure was from "which book follows..." type questions. I never bothered to memorize that. I'm in the "need to know it, look it up" category of people.

Fucked by God. Should be a Broadway play.

and I'm an atheist

I got a 93% see #13.

I've read ALL of it, not just the parts I agreed with.

so let's take that challenge

post test 85% - but half of the questions were give aways

so I took another one called "ultimate Bible test" by Tim.
Tim asked some tough questions and I answered accordingly getting 0%.
Jesus Christ, Tim, you need a life.

Why I am a non-believer.

I should clarify, but "Heaven" I mean that strip club out past the county line.

pretty good. I haven't been in church in about seven years. I have to credit my presbyterian upbringing. One thing the presbyterian church excels at is getting people to really know what's in the bible. I remember parables very well as well as psalms, important events in Jesus's live and teachings, but the littany of who is related to who has always made my eyes glaze over.

I have often thought I'd enjoy some more formal type of study, not seminary, but something like that for the lay person. I'd enjoy learning the "old testament" from a Jewish perspective, for example.

Somewhat due to some of the multiple choice answers being silly/funny and easily eliminated.

You know the Bible 83%!
Wow! You are truly a student of the Bible! Some of the questions were difficult, but they didn't slow you down! You know the books, the characters, the events . . . Very impressive!

and i haven't looked at a Bible for decades...

This atheist appreciates the sturdy education he received at St. Francis De Sales Catholic School all those years ago ....

I too am an atheist but only because I was raised in an independent, fundamentalist baptist home - and went all 4 years of high school to a private school run by the church. I graduated in 1981 at age 17 and moved out on my own a few weeks later and haven't beento church since.

I'm kinda surprised I remembered as much as I did! And I'm not sure which ones I got wrong...too bad they don't tell us...

Years of conservative Southern Baptist upbringing (brainwashing,) I guess. I am also now an atheist.

I think we've discussed this before--if I'm not mistaken, we grew up in the same small town, but I graduated from public school there. My church was terribly authoritarian, but not as bad as the cultish one you attended. My best friend and I were ALWAYS in trouble at church. We used to joke, "Well, it could always be worse; we could be going to Brookhollow!" Even the Southern Baptist kids felt sorry for any kid going to that church.

I went to Brookhollow! lol - I felt sorry for me too.

I remember one time a kid transferred into BHCS from a Southern Baptist school...we were so authoritarian we gave him hell for his hair - it was short enough to pass muster but he parted it in the middle. The Middle! He might as well have come in and performed ritual animal sacrifices in the parking lot. To those people, there was no difference.

Congrats on escaping - judging by my friends from that era on Facebook, we escapees are very few.

Crud.

doesn't read the bible, and whose only religious instruction was nearly 50 years ago in Sunday School, 64% is pretty respectable, I think.

I'm not really big on details, like names of minor characters or who begat who. I'm more of a big picture kind of guy.

I would really like to know which questions I got wrong.

And no, I didn't cheat. But some of the choices were pretty silly. The ancient Israelites riding around the Sinai Desert on bicycles!

The skinny racing tires are no good in the desert.

I can't believe I went to Catholic schools from kindergarten through college without ever hearing that.

My score was 75%.

Kind of a funny story.

The only questions I got wrong were those asking about the order of books.

When I was 7, I had to learn 2 different songs repeating all those books in order. I remember the tunes and the first 5 or so for both testaments, but that's it.

I also, when I was 16, read the bible from cover to cover. It took about a year. I was tired of being fed bits of it at a time, out of context.

Once I'd done that, I quit reading it at all. 76 isn't bad, considering I haven't read it in 36 years.

which ones you got wrong?

I'm just sure because I knew the scripture related questions without doubt, and I guessed those related to the books.

I can't quote chapter and verse, but I remember the scripture, both preached at me, "taught" to me, and read independently.

I've read the whole thing a couple of times, mostly out of self defense.

Not bad for this old atheist. That's a solid C.

I am a bit disappointed. I expected to get 100%. (I used to be a really good boy, long ago. To quote Mark Twain: “It used to be a good hotel, but that proves nothing - I used to be a good boy.”)

Now I gotta explain to the S'bux chicks why I burst out laughing!

I didn't actually know nearly that many questions, but the possible answers given often made it clear what the correct answer was.

Nuff said.

Missed some biggies

Then again, I AM an ATHEIST of the POSITIVE variety

But they made me feel good about my failure. Lots of exclamation points.

Some were a lil tough. Most of it was leaning on the New Testament, which I'm not as familiar with.

I know the Bible inside and out ... well enough to know that most people who call themselves Christians aren't.

Which is incredible, since I haven't bothered reading that book for a few years now.

Okay, I made up the ".6". Just felt it needed another 6.

I didn't notice if there's a list of what I missed and what I guessed right. Is it there?
