Those kids are never going to enjoy doing crossword puzzles if they don't have a passing knowledge of Bible characters.

Meh. Hamurabi's code is earlier and the Greeks and Romans did not rely on the bible for laws/government. That's all overblown by people with agendas.
Very debatable whether it is older or not, if you take the bible literally nothing is older. Think Genesis. We are way off topic here though. The Bible absolutely is fair game in questions about literature.

Yeah but you failed to tell everybody how BRMHS got their big lead during the History round when the Catholic schools kept ringing in with their answer 'God did it'.
It's cute that you think the BR area catholic schools teach this.

the BIBLE
By several orders of magnitude, this is the most influential piece of literature in all of human history.

Is the Bible not literature?

They have Bible categories and questions on Jeopardy. That pretty much makes it legit to have in any type of Quiz Bowl or whatever.

I agree that religion has caused much misery throughout world history, but your billions estimate is absurd. You lost all credibility at that point. The worlds population didn't reach a billion till early 19th century and didn't reach two bill till late 1920s or early 30s.
This is also ignoring your number of 150 million natives dying from disease. Your sentence that most estimates put it at 150 million is simply ridiculous. Modern scholars argue that bye total indigenous population was anywhere between 50 million and at the most 150 million. Even if you give the most generous estimate for the percentage of indigenous people dying from diseases your numbers don't add up. This is also allowing your, at best, flimsy premise that the spread of diseases was mainly caused by evangelism.
Furthermore, I haven't even addressed the asininity of WW2 being a religious conflict.
TL;DR your posts are filled with all kinds of stupid

Is literary fiction not a pertinent category?

Since when do Catholics study the Bible? That's only the fundies.

Pretty much no one actually believes the bible.
But, but Noahs Ark. What about Noahs Ark????

Pretty sure I've seen plenty of Bible related questions on Jeopardy.

brmhs should stack the contest with questions about ping pong rules and karate moves

Did you just turn to the bible as the source for saying that the bible is older?

That'd be like asking a question about the quran in the national quiz bowl competition between Catholic High and a public school from Dearborn, Michigan.

They also had a topic on Black history. So that kind of balanced it out for the public school kids.

What was the population of earth when god flooded it and murdered everyone that wasn't on Noah's ark? That's got to be millions too, right?
