Compliments of Evilbible dot com

[anysia]

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.

I can't even say I am amused... just mildly sad, because this list is so true it doesn't even register on my sarcasm or parody meters...

Need to make another 'mood'.. gobsmacked.

Christian hypocrisy 101

[chelsihottie.livejournal.com]

Hi there!

GREAT Top Ten list! Religion of any kind seems rather silly to me...But what the hell (so to speak) do I know?!! I guess I know enough to admit the fact that I really don't know ANYTHING!

*sighs* all so terribly true. I wouldn't mind funde-mental christians, if they were so appallingly insecure in their own faith.

[anysia.livejournal.com]

IMO, They are insecure because they know in their heart of hearts they aren't doing right.

you've just described a good part of my mother's family.

[anysia.livejournal.com]

You have my heartfelt condolences on that.

Yes this pretty much sums up my mother, with the exception of her use of "empowered prayer" . Which basically states she's doing magical ritual,but she's in denial of that fact...
(thisstuff is ok if you're a bible thumper, but the work of "satan" if somone with another Religious background does it.
She's totally lost in her little jesus world...

Wanna make her go ballistic? tell her the catholic mass is one of the most elaborate, ornate ritual spells errr 'prayers' ever performed. Other "catholic lite" religions use votive candles on an altar err table.

The minister/priest/preacher is the focus of the magick the attendees are invoking.

Oh I could go on and on, and I am sure you could too.

The last one really hammers the point home, that most of these self named Christians only know the yellow highlighted parts they want to follow, and know nothing of the rest.

How very true my dear! She claims to know so much about God through her years of bible study, but never looks into oposing views on the subject,andis confortable justifing her belief structure.(she's both catholic, and a born -again fundamentialist so you can imagine the things she comes up with! )She goes to catholic mass,because she reasons that it's God's origional church,(of course she denys the fact that Constantine killed off many factions of christians that did not agree with his council when the church was formed),and she also is a life-long member of the imfamous 700 club and has been trained by baptists and pentacostals in their scewed wasys too. I could go on for hours here, but I think you get the point...
