WARNING: The following quiz is posted on a non-religion promoting - atheistic web site! Please do not visit the link or take the quiz if you think you might be offended. Be assured, however, that the quiz is accurate and all answers (right or wrong) are fully documented for your perusal.
As an agnostic atheist, I frequently get into discussions with people over the content of the Christian Bible, particularly the Old Testament. I'm still surprised to discover that many who argue biblical virtues so vehemently tend to misquote the Bible and (in fact) have not read parts of it at all.
There are many good philosophical ideas in the Bible, just as there are good philosophical ideas in the Bhagavad Gita or even the Q'uran. That said, I would never condone or attempt theological apologetics in any instance where these sacred texts derail into the darker themes of humanity; Genocide, oppression and sadism find a home within the pages of some of these texts. My stance allows me to attempt to cull the good, while doing my best to reject the bad.
Here is the link to the quiz....how did you do?

That's true E7, but this scripture is still part of the established Canon, and cannot be dismissed or cherry-picked without good reason. Since it is also (ostensibly) the word of God, how would you suggest its contents be parsed? Christ in the New Testament did offer a new "covenant", but did he not also state that every word of the old law would be fulfilled? (Matthew 5:18)

The wording was misleading in some of the questions (imo anyway), but I only saw 1 I missed because of it.

I missed that one...and never had a thought in my mind of picking it. Even after I was corrected I still didn't remember it for some reason. Luckily, due to "jokes" at work I have several bibles in my office, so I was able to look it up and confirm this quiz wasn't BSing me =P
