10- You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god.

9- You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt

8- You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Trinity god

7- Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" -- including women, children, and trees!

6- You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5- You are willing to spend your life looking for little loop-holes in the scientifically established age of the Earth (4.55 billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by pre-historic tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that the Earth is a couple of generations old.

4- You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects -- will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet you consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving".

3- While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to prove Christianity.

2- You define 0.01s a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99AILURE was simply the will of God.

1- You actually know a lot less than many Atheists do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history -- but still call yourself a Christian

Hee - that's quite funny. However, should it be 10 signs that you are a "fundamental-Charles-Darwin-is-the-anti-christ" Christian rather than just "Christian"?

Saw a great program on PBS last night called "3 Faiths, One God." Islam, Judaism, and Christianity and the people carrying out interfaith dialogue. Just great. Recommend it.

actually this should be entitled top 10 signs you're a fundie RW Christian

not all Christians are as rigid as you make them out to be

You do see quotes around the word, "Christian," right?

I put that on there to separate Christians from "Christians."

I hope that clears things up for you.

Since we are on a sports thread we need to add a number 11

Jesus helped you [insert; score a touchdown, hit a homerun, make a field goal, win a game...] and that rotten devil is responsible when your opponents do the same things.

That's funny!!

Great, more anti-religion nonsense from the hate mongers in our gay community. Could you guys please put a lid on it and let the rest of our community find common ground with main stream America? You really are hurting our chance of ever securing equal rights, fair treatment, political power or acceptance.

But then, you don't want that. You want to be disenfranchised and bitch and continue to be a dysfunctional victim because that's what your therapist calls "progress".

You should see 3 Faiths; One God. It might help you understand religion better.

Okay ... let's go over this again. I put Christian in quotes to tell the difference between the fundies & real Christians.

I hope, btmuscle, that clears things up for you.

I'm a Christian and really don't appreciate the snarkiness of this thread.

At least you can tell the difference in the two Christians.

Do you know what sarcastic humour is? VASTLY different from bitching.

If I want to hear bitching from a gay person, all i have to do is go to any gay bar that has gym queens in it.

It's Friday afternoon. Have a beer, relax, maybe get laid, or whatever you do to have a good weekend.

Gosh, btmuscle, all this time I thought it was the religious people who were doing this. I've never heard of an atheist group that opposes equal rights for queer people. Can you think of any Christian groups that do?

Jesus helped me score???

Ok - now thats a new one after I thought I had heard everything.

Though I admit there have been times I thought I was in heaven...

:confused:

What????



Okay, I see the Bible as a guide to use to enhnace your life and be a bit of a better person, but that's me.
