    So they aren't much different. That's the take home message?

    It looks to me to be more like Torah or Koran.

    I did not score very well in this game, though, I'm not an expert on religion in the least.

    I've read the Old Testament several times, and even I missed a few questions.

    Interesting.

    Actually they changed some words here and there to create a greater dramatic effect, the Koran is a translation from Arab and has a distictive different flow which should be very obvious. I noticed that at certain points it did not, so I checked up the translations, they were off.

    You mean they actually translated an ancient text and shifted words around?


    UNREAL.

    Why are you concerned with the menstrual cycles of my sexual partners?

    I had about 80 % correct. Both are written by men and reflect the thinking and culture of the time. Why people think one should have to stick word for word to this stuff is beyond me. The funny thing is that even those who think that bend and interpret this stuff so that it fits.

    Oh, and that Leviticus stuff...looks like 2/3 of the ridiculous quotes from the bible are out of that book.

    Hmm, the link doesn't seem to be working for me. That's unfortunate, it seemed like a very interesting experiment.

    That site is hilarious...funny how few posters on either side of the "our religion is right" aisle are in this thread.

    Thing is, most Muslims will score 100% on this so it's not any kind of revelation.

    I can score 98-100% easily, and I'm sure any English speaker who has read the Quran could do the same.

    I'm frankly shocked that many of you can't differentiate. There's a distinct style difference.
