Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. According to Genesis 41:30, for how many years was there a famine in Egypt and the surrounding countries?

Answer: Seven

Pharaoh's dream showed seven healthy fat cows coming out of the river and starting to graze. Then seven sick skinny cows came out of the river and ate the fat cows without changing at all; then Pharaoh woke up. The interpretation was that the seven fat cows represented seven good years and the seven skinny cows were seven years of famine for Egypt, following the seven good years.

7. In which of the following religions is the ordinary consumption of pork NOT banned?

Answer: Roman Catholicism

Jewish and Islamic dietary laws regard the pig as an unclean animal whose consumption is forbidden. One of the five basic principles of Jainism is non-violence to all living beings and hence Jains are vegetarians.

Roman Catholics may abstain from eating pork, and other meats, on Fridays and during the Lenten period but are free to eat it at other times.

Jainism is an ancient religion from India.

10. Within the ancient Indian religion of Jainism, followers take five main mahavratas or vows. Which one is *NOT* one of these vows?

Answer: alternate days of fasting & non-fasting

There are no gods or spiritual beings to help or guide human beings: Jainism is a self-help type of religion. There are five vows that make up the core of the Jainism religion: non-violence; truth; not-stealing; sexual continence (celibacy) and non-attachment to possessions. Not only are there no gods, there are also no priests: the religious professionals are monks and nuns, who lead very strict and ascetic lives. For example, they eat only once a day to meet their religious beliefs.
