When shown photos or paintings of famous people, 100% of children recognized Ronald Mcdonald...?

Question

But only 17% of school age children could recognize Abraham Lincoln.
When shown a painting of Jesus though the number went down to less than 3%.
I don't know about you but this gives me hope for the future!

Answer 1

lets not forget the super size me was done mostly in New York where christianity is not as prevailant. although there are lobbyists that are banning gay marriages ............and to the brat at the bottom of the screen who are you to tell me how to raise my kids? if i had any......well whether i did or did not i whould have slapped you.

Answer 2

You mean they didn't recognize the Western interpretation of Jesus through art...because that doesn't actually have any bearing on what He REALLY looked like.

Kids recognize Ronald McDonald because he's a frickin' clown with red curly hair. Abe and Jesus are just normal-looking dudes. Abe has the upper hand on Jesus though, because he's got the top hat going for him.

What you're saying doesn't really MEAN anything if you know anything about children.

Answer 3

well, mcdonalds feeds the little children, and jesus is just sorta, obsolete with no real brand identity

i dont think its a fair comparison of the same thing, since the "image of jesus" is different

of course, these same kids couldn't point out north korea on a map, or explain why theres a north and south korea, or why the map is a faulty projection of the land surfaces of the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere, so, are we surprised?

a bunch of people said yea! we are winning,

no this means mcdonalds is winning,

theism is losing of course but not cause of mcdonalds, but because god isn't real, and people will with time examine and say, yes historically this god concept is a god of the gaps where science wasn't yet able to explore, no microscope, no telescope, but now with technology we are able to explore and get answers, and thus the need for "uhh, it was god" will be obsolete

Answer 4

Only 3% recognized Jesus. Yes, were winning!

Answer 5

I agree...Kids should be kids. They should know Ronald McDonald at a young age. When they are older they will learn about Lincoln and when they are old enough to make a decision they can decide if they want to learn about god and if they do they can choose their own religion.

Answer 6

I'd be more worried about Abraham Lincoln we got a positive as to what he looked like...as for Jesus not so much...

Answer 7

i read your question and bought 100 shares of McDonalds stock.

thats the way our society works. its a consumer-based world, and mcdonalds is selling us things, whereas jesus doesnt pitch products, and honest abe just sits there on the $5 bill.

Answer 8

It would seem that very few children are taught history or culture & even less are taught religion - but everybody eats Happy Meals. Cut off the tv, teach your children to read. Take them to museums & parks, take them to church. I know there are people who do this -

Answer 9

tell satan i said hello when you see him......im sure you both will have alot to discuss...

Thanks for that inane platitude. Tell me does your cult have ANY grounding in reality?

if you dont agree with christianity or believe in God,why do you insist on answering the questions in the religious catagory? huh,sounds like your just a bored athiest trying to start trouble...what a looser

Answer 10

I heard this, and it is sad that many people don't recognize Jesus

Answer 11

Go McDonalds!
