Interesting thoughts, Jed. Not being a practicer of any particular religion, I view them all with the same sort of scholarly curiosity.

Of course, I admit the agenda implied by a few above... stated it in fact in that interminable Iraq war thread. Since this quiz started in the other thread in response to a lot of talk being thrown around about religion and governments in the Middle East, I find it interesting that none of the regular political-BS-thread posters around here has answered even one of the Islam questions. (Most of which are FAR easier than the Christianity questions.) Heck, John answered the toughest one.

It is valid to question the accuracy of defining a religious belief in a few quotes, and what effect religion has upon government and culture. I TOTALLY agree :)
