From Rich Barlow's review of The Transformation of American Religion: How We Actually Live Our Faith:
To the extent that Americans' historic anti-intellectual streak now extends to religion (Wolfe reports that 10 percent of us think Joan of Arc was Noah's wife), is that all bad? We may not know who said “Blessed are the clean of heart,” but we believe it, prizing character above brains.

Feel free to share your feelings about Mrs. Noah's name was Joan. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.
This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
