Of course, he was a colonial American, so Dana would have no reason to know of him.
I'm going with that too as my reason for my score.

You answered 13 out of 15 questions correctly

14 out of 15 - screwed up on the "Bible as Literature" question.
I absolve myself, as it is effectively a question on American education rather than World Religion.

Like Dana, I'm pretty well up on individual faiths. Useful for a traveller/ literary student.

Nice quiz though, thanks!

It says only 11% of people got the last question right, which is far below a 30% guessing rate. I wonder if they're all choosing Billy Graham, or Finney...

IIRC, god told Abraham to kill his son, Abraham agreed, then, just before Abraham killed him, god told him he got punked.

87% yeah, I missed the last one and the one about Abraham and Job, too, 'cause I was focused on the obediance part.

My problems were not about religious questions as such but the ruling of the US Supreme court..

Well, I'm French not American

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”
