On Tuesday\u2019s episode of Jeopardy, fans were left shocked and horrified when all three contestants failed to answer a Final Jeopardy clue. The clue, which centered around the Christian faith, asked participants to complete a line from the Lord\u2019s Prayer, which is easily the most widely recited prayer in all of the Christian kingdom. The clue, which was worth just $200, the least amount available on the show, stated, \u201cMatthew 6:9 says, \u2018Our Father, which art in heaven,\u2019 This \u2018be thy name.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
While millions of Americans at home and those in the stands knew the solution to the clue, the three contestants, Suresh Krishnan, Laura Blyler, and Joe Seibert, remained in stunned silence as the clock ran out and the buzzer rang to alert them that they had run out of time to provide their solution to the Jeopardy clue.<\/p>\n
Eventually, Jeopardy host Mayim Bialik filled in the missing word and notified the contestants that the word that was missing from the clue was \u201cHallowed,\u201d as in \u201cHallowed be thy name.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within minutes, the unsolved Jeopardy clue became a viral sensation on Twitter, with thousands of people sharing their shock that none of the Jeopardy contestants were able to answer the relatively simple question \u2013 which would have been especially easy for any practicing Christians in the audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cTonight\u2019s Jeopardy contestants were just asked to fill in this blank: \u2018Our Father who art in heaven, ______ be thy name,\u2019\u201d one user tweeted. \u201cNone of them even took a guess. I\u2019m really surprised \u2014 I thought that would be an easy one!\u201d<\/p>\n
Another person tweeted, \u201cHow can those Jeopardy! nerds not know this answer. Have they never listened to Iron Maiden?\u201d which was a reference to the 1982 heavy metal song \u201cHallowed Be Thy Name,\u201d which has been a popular rock song for generations now.<\/p>\n
While most Twitter users were shocked that the Jeopardy contestants did not know the answer to the Lord\u2019s Prayer question, some self-professed conservative Twitter users were particularly outraged by the lack of knowledge on behalf of the game\u2019s players.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot one contestant on Jeopardy last night knew the answer to this\u2026..\u201d wrote one user. \u201cAre you waking up yet?\u201d<\/p>\n
Another person tweeted that this lack of knowledge about the Christian religion shows \u201chow sad our country is becoming.\u201d The person added, \u201cThey asked the question about the lord\u2019s prayer. Neither of the three contestants got it. That is very alarming. My gosh, the simplest prayer people need to get back to the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Every year, Americans are growing less religious. There are more and more atheists in the country, which are people who do not believe in God or practice an official religion. The atheists are becoming so common nowadays that Christianity seems to possibly be on its way out once and for all. But the Christians of America are determined not to let that happen.<\/p>\n
