Why are American Christians so ignorant about their faith and religion? Could it be the fact that we have settled for the least effective method of teaching and fellowship?

Well, this wasn't about just our faith and religion - - it was about many others.

True. However, more discussion based fellowship covering not only the Christian faith, but how it differs from others may have brought more knowledge to the people.

Most American Christians get a "lecture" style message from a single teacher three times a week... if they attend midweek services AND both Sunday services.

They say, the worst way to teach is "lecture style". People learn more and make it more personal if they are participating and having intellectual exchange. For example... if I ask most Christians what the sermon was last Sunday night... they'll studder and most likely will not remember the title or overall point, just elements.

Missed one... not sure which. Who wants to achieve nirvana? And... are bible passages allowed to be discussed as literature in public schools? Answered one of these wrong.

Bhuddists meditate on Nirvana, I answered No to the Bible passages as literature question. Hmm, if the answer is yes, then I was wrong about which question I missed.
