14 out of 15 for this Jewish agnostic. I missed "Which Bible figure is most closely associated with remaining obedient to God despite suffering?" I've always thought that Abraham's story is much more troubling, personally.

I got all 15. So, in spite of being a self proclaimed Atheist, I got all the answers correct.

It's just like on Jeopardy when Alex said, "It's not a matter of which college you went to or if you went to college at all. It's how much you read."

I would argue that the question justifies atheism. Learning both the Job and Abraham stories as a kid made me recognize that this G-d character was not one I had any interest in and was not worthy of my respect or worship.

What's bad is a deity asking humans to do horrific things in order to prove a point. That's suffering - realizing that you are so lost in the woods that you would do anything for your deity, even kill your innocent child.
