A new survey of Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets of their own faiths.
Most Christians I talk to believe that Matthew,Mark,Luke and John were the actual disciples that followed Christ around during his life. They think these men recorded his acts as he did them. They have no idea that the Gospels were written by other men years later and that we are not even sure who they were.
Most Catholics do not realize that the wine and bread given at communion do not represent Christ's body and blood but are supposed to really be his body and blood.
Many Christians never take the time to learn their own religion. Sorry but I was never built that way. I ask way too many questions and have made it a priority in my life to seek answers out. It's sad then that we make fun at or pick on someone else for their beliefs.
