This was in no way hard (got 20/20 in just over a minute).
also, the question on Norse mythology is wrong- Valhalla is where Odin housed half the valiant dead in preparation for Ragnarok. It is NOT where the gods lived.
According to Wikipedia the two were indistinguishable in the most lore. It wasn't until the Iliad that it nectar was referenced as the drink and ambrosia the food. I think that Nectar should be acceptable but it should show ambrosia.
I agree that this seemed easy. Quizmaster, having never made a quiz before, if I was aspiring to make one to be a part of an already-existing series (e.g. Religion General Knowledge #4, Difficulty: Extra Hard), is that something I should specifically pitch to you first to see if it's even wanted or needed?
I actually met a few practicing Jedi who were visiting a Jedi convention in the city where I live. I'm dead serious. They were cool too. They said that yes, they seriously practice the Jedi religion, and no, they don't try to move things with their mind. Their pitch is that the Jedi are about discipline, honor, service, hard work, and doing what is right for the sake of others. Wouldn't we all be better off with more Yodas and Luke Skywalkers among us? Honestly, it made at least as much sense as any religion I've ever heard of.
Must have been thinking of the Jedis. I knew the one answer is sikh, wasn't sure how it is spelled in English. My first try was sith. Welcome to the dark side.
Common error: Baptists are not a Protestant religion. This is historically incorrect. Protestants are those who were once part of the Catholic church and sought to reform it (16th century and onward). Baptists have never aligned themselves with Rome and have always been separate. It would be so cool of you to correct this.
That is an interesting viewpoint. I know different Christian denominations have different views on whether or not they "count" as Protestants (Mormons, for example, but that's a different story). The fact remains that until the Reformation, all Christians were Catholic or Eastern Orthodox (via the schism in 1054). Where did Baptists come from, then, and when did they technically start, if not from a reform? A reform of a reform (of a reform, etc.) is still a form of "protest"-ing.
I'd still wager the vast and overwhelming majority of Americans understand Baptists to be Protestants. And every other non-Catholic Christian sect in the country as well, possibly excepting Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and a few other smaller groups generally regarded as cults (Heaven's Gate, Branch Davidians, Christian Scientists, and so on). I've read different things on whether or not Baptists are "WASP"s or not. Most indications seem to point to yes, though others make exclusions for Southern Baptists.
Catie09, that makes no sense. By your definition, the only REAL Protestants were people who *personally* converted from Catholicism as a consequence of theological differences. That's not the definition of Protestant. Besides, Baptist leadership themselves have absolutely no problem with calling themselves Protestant; do a site search on the term on abc-usa.org and sbc.net for examples.
@catie09 - How would you classify the Methodists? They were never aligned with Rome, but rather are an offshoot of the Church of England. And, as noted in other comments, there are a number of sects that broke from denominations other than Roman Catholic, or formed organically.
Good quiz - apart from the 'Southern Baptist' question. I've never heard of them. Perhaps you could accept just 'Baptist' (which I did try) to give the rest of the world a chance.
@Milksteak83 Saying that evidences your profound ignorance of what pyramid schemes and New Age culture are. It's ok to not know, but you could've easily googled them. Instead, you chose to talk out of your ass. Educate yourself, or you risk looking like a fool.
Can you please accept "Archbishop of Constantinople" as well? From Wikipedia: "The Ecumenical Patriarch is the Archbishop of Constantinople–New Rome". Especially since the clue is "_____ of Constantinople" and not "Ecumenical _______ of Constantinople".
It's not correct to say that 'Anglican' refers to a member of the Church of England. The 'Anglican Communion' refers to many branches outside England with their own names, like US Episcopalians etc..
also, the question on Norse mythology is wrong- Valhalla is where Odin housed half the valiant dead in preparation for Ragnarok. It is NOT where the gods lived.
