Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

[scared?]

u mad?...

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.

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When people try to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them:

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev.1:9).The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24).The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

d) Lev.25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev.11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

g) Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

i) I know from Lev.11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread cotton/polyester blend. He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them (Lev.24:10-16)? Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Breaking news: Christianity has some double standards.

[scared?]

when the morons say the old testatment was written for the jews and don't apply to christians explain that jesus ordered christians to follow the law of moses in the old testament...

"Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)"


lol?...

No not really. When we die we die. Game over. The end.
Why should it be a problem?
It only turns into a problem once you start believing there could be something after this and you might miss out. But since I don't believe in such a thing, I don't see the problem, really.

Could you disprove or answer all the points scared and p1k made?

So then why are you here? Seems like a complete waste to be on earth a short while, then die, with no thought that something more awaits after?

I'm not bible thumping here, it's not my intention. Just trying to understand why someone could even consider this being all there is for us.

Why must there be a reason? I don't think there is a reason for us to be here. We're a coincidence. The result of an accidental chemical process. And no, I don't find that depressing. I don't think there's need of a reason to be here. I do, however, think that our pointlessness is where religion in general sprung from. It's to give us a goal, an aim, something to live and die for. It's not bad per sé. A lot of our ethical rules in our society have a basis in christianity On the other hand, unfortunately, a large amount of those ethics are still backwards and retarded, like the opposition of gay marriage. But I digress. The point is that there's no point and I don't need one either.

edit:
and to think all this here is made specifically for us humans is rather arrogant, selfish, self-centered and ignorant.

[Mat Linnett]

Perhaps because that is all there is?
I bet you believe in "Soul" and "Spirit" too?
These concepts are born from Man's essential egotism. Every single person on the planet has at some point believed with their utmost heart that they are the most important being in existence. To even begin to contemplate that the world might continue along just fine without you is anathema. So the temptation to believe that there's some big pile of loot at the end of it all is overwhelming.

If you want to be proud of yourself and feel rewarded, know that it's a lot more rewarding believing that your achievements are solely your own and not thanks to some imaginary beard in the sky.

Religion is a crutch for those too afraid to accept responsibility.

And hey, if you die because a lunchbox drops from a scaffold, falls twenty stories and crushes you like an insect?
That's just tough shit.

Of course it's here for us, since we were made in His image.

Wow, aparently christianity really pisses you people off?

Edit: or any other belief for that matter? Seems like a very exclusive mindset. Or maybe you've met far to many extremist Christians.

[Scarface]

A Person's choice in any belief doesn't make them weak minded, it's an exercise of free will.

Not really. bkb called atheists annoying and you said atheists were owned. That's the kind of grown up type of response you get from people that are not in the slightest way bothered by people with other views huh?

[Mat Linnett]

It's precisely the opposite of free will. It's relinquishing personal responsibility to an institution with an imaginary foundation, and letting them determine the course of your life.

[Eraser]

A Person's choice in any belief doesn't make them weak minded, it's an exercise of free will.

I doubt that. You are born into a family, a community that holds certain habits, rules, ethics and beliefs. If christianity is greatly represented in your family, chances are you will be turned towards the religion as well and don't question it since you're indoctrinated with it ever since childhood.
