Joan of Arc??? (religious ignorance in America)
JOAN OF ARK....From an LA Times op-ed about religious ignorance in America:

According to a 1997 poll, only one out of three U.S. citizens is able to name the most basic of Christian texts, the four Gospels, and 12% think Noah's wife was Joan of Arc.

:wow:

Good thing the religious right have their "moral values" to fall back on...

:eyes:

4. I think that more than 12% don't know the name of the president.
The answer is not Bush.

5. I love this one. I saw this on TV
A man said he was going to vote for Bush (this was in 2000) because he did a good job the last time he was President.
