What Are These?

Do you know your Bible?

I got these pretty much right (some had multiple answers). And I'm pagan. But I've read the Bible, unlike many Christians. :)

Religion and Sex Quiz

It's actually an op-ed piece illustrating that what people think the Bible says tends to be very different than the actual Scripture, and that the Bible is very ambiguous on lots of points regarding sex, which makes sense, as it is a hodge-podge of two religions, various authors, and a lot of debate over the years, even unto which books would be included. The piece draws upon the book Unprotected Texts: The Bible's Surprising Contradictions about Sex and Desire, by Jennifer Wright Knust, who is a biblical scholar and an ordained American Baptist minister.
