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.

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.

 

this has been posted How many times now?

 

First time I saw it though, found it quite interesting.

 

come on, at least wait a week...it was posted like 4 days ago

 

lol i just thought someone copied & pasted it to remind us all again about our downfalls.


i guess they could have just bumped an old one then eh...*scratches head*...never mind

 

oops, sorry
didnt realize it was just put in here

 

There's a 11th one:

You don't believe that miracles and healings are for today.


What you posted was Charismatic!

I guess I'm one.

 

Could be re-written as "You believe christianity-specifically fundamentalist christiantiy-is the only true religion and that all others are inspired by satan. You may even believe that the forbearers to your faith, the Jews are also subject to eternal damnation as well.

You believe that the earth is about 6,000 years old and that 'creation' occurred around 4004 B.C.

Add the following:
-You speak in dogmatic terms such as "God said it, I believe it and that settles it"; "I have been 'washed in the blood of the lamb'"; "I have been 'born again' and 'baptized in the spirit,'" but you're not so sure that you really know the meaning of these terms.

-You claim that using the Lord's name in vain is a sin, but you have no problem uttering profane statements such as "God hates abortion/gays/promiscuity/athiests,etc. and so do I" and "I hate what God hates."

 

and here i thought it was the same thread being resurrected all the time.
like jesus.

 

couldn't someone have posted this earlier, to just remind me how stupid it is i fear coming in here and debating with these rocks?????

 

Hey, I understand your frustration! What you've got to understand is that christianity has been hijacked by individuals who are using the faith not to promote spirtual integrity, but to promote their political agenda. This has gone on since at least the 4th century and continues today. What we as religious liberals need to do is beat the fundamentalists and others at their own game by understanding what was really going on when scripture was being written and NOT have the dogmatic, simple-minded approach that plagues fundamentalists and others of like mind.

 

4th century?
much of the bible contains political propaganda itself

anyways, i thought the point of religion was to help promote political agenda

 

Not really, but it can be used in that way if needed.

Good things from religion

Bad things
