New Year, Same Quiz…Just for Fun
March 7, 2008
Last February was our first year on the net so not many came across this Easter quiz. I still think that organized religion as a whole makes about as much sense as rabbits laying eggs… Of course, if you are one of our fine readers that know your history, then you know that Easter was celebrated long before Jesus came along which means that you already know about the rabbits and the eggs……
The following will be an open book test to which I will even give you the references. Please leave your answers in the comments section. Oh, and grab your Bible!

Got something to say?



Thank you for this. I would enjoy watching a believer in biblical inerrancy take this test and justify their answers. Maybe I’m just a sadist at heart.
This pretty much is half of my Year 10 Religious Studies exam. In those days, my school was liberal CofE. I think it might have become more conservative.
