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

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other 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 Triune 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 loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few 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 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 0.01% as 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 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

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

ring any bells???

Insults are the ammunition of the unintelligent - do not use them. It is okay to criticize a policy, decision, action or comment. Such criticism is part of healthy debate. It is not okay to criticize a person's character or directly insult them, regardless of their position or actions. Derogatory terms such as "loser", "idiot", etc are not permitted unless the context clearly implies that it is not serious. Rule of thumb: Play the ball, not the person (i.e. tackle the argument, not the person making it).

Not really...but then I'm not religious. Nor are my friends and family. The only true fundementalists around my neck of the woods are the Mennonites. I really feel sorry for the girls in the same way I feel sorry for those poor women in burqas. Clothes right out of the 1800s...but the men get to dress more or less as they please (within reason).

Honestly, though, I don't think they really care about what other religions et al are up to.

I'm okay with Mennonites. They don't go around blowing up buildings.

If the men do not die well it will be a black matter for the king that led them to it.

To me the most important thing about religion is that people keep their views to themselves and don't try to proselytize others. People can believe whatever they want - "Intelligent Design" as an example. I just don't want them trying to sell it to me.

A few years ago my mother-in-law was continually bothered by Jehovah's Witnesses who were rude and nasty to her - she made the mistake of telling them she was a Catholic. They only gave up after I went over to her house and told them to f***-off

But Christians don't blow people up!!

That is the standard response when discussing religion. *"our"religion isn't as violent* -- it still has no basis in logic... but CHRISTIANS DON'T BLOW PEOPLE UP!

People are unable to discuss the merits or lack thereof of the Christian religion by itself... they always bring out the comparison to "worse" religions.

They use this mindset -- hitting your wife is bad, but killing her is "worse". So all those who are "worse" make it ok to be just "bad". Because on a scale *their religion* is not wholly bad, just partially, so it's ok... its not really bad like that OTHER religion... :lol:

How anyone in this day and age can still believe a guy is up there judging and smiting boggles the mind... the sun rises because the earth revolves around it, not because the invisible guy is moving it across the sky.

...jealous much?

Booga Booga! Hee Hee Hee

Interesting list. At first I quickly responded to myself that that's not true, but only because I don't think of myself believing that way (although I am a Christian). But I looked it over again and it does eerily describe the way my parents think...which has always been very frustrating.

I hear you drea.

It is hard to look at the numerous shortcomings in ones own religion, and chritianity has many of them.

Speaking of my own fall from grace, as one could say.

The facts are christians hold wacky violent inducing beliefs.

The bible is littered with murder/ rape and more.

Christianity has a checkered history to put it mildly!

from popes and their orgies to christians and their polygamy.

Pedophile priests

From the crusade of old to the modern crusade.

Yet somehow they hold themselves up as superior?

Not quite sure how?

I think of the saying " the unexamined life is a life not worth living".

Christians is like one big unexamined life/style.

But perhaps it is best not too look to deep?

Lest one see's the monster is really within oneself.

Never mind the whole other arguement of the non-existence of the sky god!

Islam was invented 600 years after Christianity. Think of Muslims being what Christians were like in the 16th century - Reformation, Inquisition, execution of clergy (the English countryside was strewn with RC priests swinging from the gallows), torture.

thanks for the advice.

unfortunately maldon road, keeps putting his/her foot in his mouth ,proverbially speaking, by living up to the very indicators of the top ten list.

can I help this?

I cannot.

Perhaps your advice should extend to maldon, who that seems more applicable to ?

I'm not on any kind of a hunt. I gave up religion a long time ago after I could see no purpose in it. Both Islam and Christianity are noted as being violent.

I don't flinch because I don't believe it happened. Even if there were some attempt at the aforementioned I would attribute it to mankind, not some god or other. Of course it doesn't help that I don't believe in "God" and view the Bible as a very loose inaccurate historical text with a healthy dose of mysticism and myth thrown into the mix. It does have some value inherent in its writings though, from a moral point of view. Of course the same could be said for the Khoran as well.

As for being fundamentalist, well I don't think I am. I don't go around calling people deluded because they do believe, I don't try to convince anyone that there is no god, and I tend to keep my beliefs to myself unless asked about them. Thats not to say that I understand why people believe in god, I don't actually, just cant figure that one out.

sure it happened angus, the bible says so! ;)

and normally I don't care either about people's religious beliefs, note I said normally.

Unfortunatley these hardly seem normal times.

Have you followed the US election at all?

it seems the candidates are fallling all over themselves to be religious like it actually matters!

Then the american military seems to be exalting itself to the position of warriors for god!

All this religious fervor in an alleged modern society is freaky to say the least, and, extremely worrisome IMO.

LOL!

IMO you freaky secularist are the problem.

It is very condescending of you to allege a persons faith is freaky but okay for you to wrap yourself in the worst civil religion of them all, liberalism along with its own set of commandments being the Charter.

Meaning: It's ok for organized religion to critize and not ok for others to do the same.

I was in Kitchener and I saw Amish people. They looked dangerous. One of them was wearing a bonnet and smiled. I think she was going to kill me. My wife said my zipper was undone.

This is either paranoia or strawman at its extreme.

We have Hutterites out here. What a wild bunch of dancing party animals. I heard that Hutterites choreograph all of Micheal Jacksons videos for him.
