Myth or Fact Quiz

Fun quiz!

I was amazed that I got 9/9. Some were incredibly easy, though.

Took the quiz, 6/9. Not bad for me. Anyway add this to the quiz. All the authors of the Common English Bible were circumcized Jews except for Luke. One way for finding out if this is myth or fact. Especailly since I've just discovered on this forum that the USA military are warning our Jewish to become wounded warriors that they have to hide that they are Jewish to save their lives for the rest of their lives.

I'm from Lafayette, Louisiana; a heavily Catholic area. I got 6 out of 9. First time I met someone I knew to be Jewish was when my navy ship arrived in Haifa, Israel. Never heard of any of those myths. You're not the only group to suffer the ignorance of others. I'm Cajun. When my dad joined the Navy in 1964, they made him take off his socks and shoes to prove he was a Cajun. They were looking for his webbed feet. When I joined in 1990, they asked me if this was the first time wearing shoes or being on dry land. They also thought Cajuns were dumb hillbillies who live inthe swamps. Imagine their surprise when I told them I was accepted into the Navy's Nuclear Power program. I never went into the swamp, always lived on dry land, and always wore shoes (plenty of thorny stickers and burning grass in our yard). Do have an ignorant neighbor (non-denominational Christian) who said how evil Jews were and some other stuff. I shut her up quick when I reminded her Jesus, Mary, Joe, and the apostles were all Jews.

There are some theories that the Passages regarding Jesus's crucifixion we're written later by the Romans after Constatine's conversion to make it more appealing towards the Romans. The Roman head of Israel was vicious towards Jews according to historical records. Also, the actual place where Jesus would have been judged would not accommodate the crowd of Jews screaming for Jesus's blood. So instead of pointing the finger at Jews, they should point the finger at Italy. Oh well, it's been more than 2,000 years ago so I doubt those responsible are alive to be punished. My ancestors were mistreated horribly, but I don't hold grudges for something that happened over a hundred years ago.

8 out of 9. I thought the birthday of the trees was likely, but I'd never heard of it but opted for myth. The others tended to be as mythological as the one about atheists eating babies. I almost put Hanukah down as the Jewish Christmas as a sort of equivalent of fun celebration, but then decided that a Jewish quiz would never suggest that the Jews endorsed Christmas so decided against.
