Hot-cha! Finally! I knew all that reading would pay off someday. Great feud, and congrats to 5-4-Fighting.
My degree is actually in sociology of religion (soc theory), with an expertise in American cults. My undergraduate degree was basically in comparative religion, heavy on Eastern religions (it being the '70s at the time). Never took a single class on any form of monotheism, and was raised in a tradition that isn’t particularly bound to the Bible (I’m a Quaker).
But shit, man, 46th. Freakin’ Mt. Fuji.
Congrats to you too. Tied for first. Wow, I wasn’t even going to play when I saw the thread topic. I’m kind of the opposite of twickster, I just have generalized knowledge of the topic from picking up stuff here and there in the popular culture.
Thanks for the rosary, 5 time champ. Please tell me I’m not a rich man now. I want a fightnig chance at the end.
Yes, but I seem to be making more of them than I feel I ought. I’m very sorry, and glad you’re taking it in good part. I will try not to do such again.
I think that’s the key in these games. If you know too much about the subject, you tend to over-think things.
Yea, overthinking got me on the holy city. I figured since Karbala is in the news a lot(as a city holy to Shite Muslims in Iraq) that it would score higher. Should have gone with Medina. And I nearly said Sinai for holy mountain, but figured Olympus was funnier. It was supposed to be a religious feud and most were centered on the Abrahamic faiths, so I figured it would be a fun answer.
Enjoy,
Steven
As 5 time champ has noted, he deserves credit for this particular game, but I’ll take the praise as being for my Urban Legends/Paranormal Feud. 
The opportunities are following on each other’s heels so quickly (and sometimes simultaneously, now that several people are willing to take on the task themselves instead of waiting in Dolores’s queue) that it’s easy to lose track of who posted what!
By the way (not that you’re one of those who made this error), I feel compelled to fight a little ignorance by pointing out Paul wasn’t one of the Twelve Apostles. Instead, Saul of Tarsus was converted on the road to Damascus by a vision of the resurrected Jesus, and subsequently became one of the great early missionaries of Christianity.
