Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
I do not feel outraged, I accept what you believe, although if you want to debate, I will. Its not like your opinion changes anything, you are just a mortal.
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.
This one is a fail. We were created in the form of the ultimate master race, that is why "being created from dirt" is not a bad thing. We feel dehumanized when someone claims we are monkeys.
the ones i skip are the ones that don't apply to me and/or have no bearing on the current topic.
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!
Failure. God killed the babies in egypt because according to the bible, the egyptians were about to do take every firstborn
again and throw them into the nile. Also, 9 other miraculous happenings did not convince pharaoh to release the slaves and not murder their babies. I think drastic measures were justified. As for killing entire ethnicities, all were incredibly evil demon worshipers who sacrificed humans of their own race and tribes to their "gods".
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans,
lets get this straight. Nobody is laughing at anybody. this is complete and utter bs.
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.
the men of 6000 years ago were not stupid or "prehistoric." they have archaeological findings of batteries created by BC humans. Secondly, the age of the earth HAS NOT been scientifically established. I have already shown that carbon dating would be INCREDIBLY INACCURATE 100,000 years ago.
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."
Yet all they have to do in order to escape it is to accept jesus. I say that's a little better than "kill the infidel or you are a hypocrite," who kill raped women because they were raped, brutally murder homosexuals, etc.
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.
Ha. I've shown you my physics and my biology and you have no rebuttal. Lets rephrase that to apply to you.
3- While knightfall's logic, the world's history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot with a 200 year old book about morphing creatures may be all the evidence you need to "prove" evolution.
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.
I believe it is a lack of discipline. In the bible Jesus said "this kind only cometh out with prayer and fasting" and many Christians won't even go out and lay hands on people.
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.
Unfortunately, this one is true and applies to many people, however, not to me.
