15/15 and that's only because I remembered the answer about The Great Awakening from the last time this was posted.

You answered 15 out of 15 questions correctly for a score of 100%.

Sounds like the incident that spawned the kerfuffle.
If I remember, PZ Meyers did a protest where he kidnapped Jesus and posted it on his blog, too.

No fucking clue what the first great awakening is, sounds like something out of LoTR to me.

That's the kerfuffle.

When I read it I looked to see if any of the options were Ramirez, MacLeod, or Kurgan. There weren't so I assumed it wasn't related to the Quickening and had to guess.

The Great Awakening was a period of religious revivalism in the American colonies during the 1700s in which Christian fundamentalists thought their churches weren't being hardcore enough so they started preaching all these horrid fire and brimstone sermons with graphic images of the torture of hell to radicalize their flock but eventually the Great Awakening had to stop when a suicide craze was started by people who were afraid of going to hell.

I think they should have given the Great Awakening some Laudanum. . . .
"Give me the storm and tempest of thought and action, rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith. Banish me from Eden when you will; but first let me eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge."

Yeah, the "Great Awakening" seems like a shit name for a bunch of people becoming fundies.
