21. True or False? The people who waged war in the "crusades" were Christians.

Originally posted by dottewellI thought it was really funny how those kids were ridiculed for saying things like "I don't know", "I am not an expert" or "maybe". Apparently it's much better to hide your lack of knowledge and present your opinions and beliefs as facts.
(And WTF were these defenders of evolution, anyway? Leading academics in their field, or some kids being interviewed on park benches and the tube?)

Originally posted by RBHILLHmm... let me think... a Christian book suggests the intelligent people don't worship their god? No, that's never going to happen. I know, everyone who doesn't worship god must be an idiot!
22. True or False? The Bible teaches that intelligence is the reason most people don't seek after God.
