Religious Top 10

[Mule]

Ten Signs That You Are An Unquestioning Christian:


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

9- You feel insulted and ‘dehumanized’ when scientists say that people evolved from lesser 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 Trinity 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 animals!

6- You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about god 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 loop-holes in the scientifically established age of the Earth (4.55 billion years), but you find
nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by pre-historic tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that the Earth is a couple of generations
old!

4- You believe that the entire population of this planet wi th 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 you 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.

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.”

[Paul K]

There's another one I saw on a bumper sticker the other day.

"April 1st, atheists day".

Sheesh.

[TheMentat]

that's some funny stuff!

[Nathans_Dad]

Yay another religion bashing thread!! A few more and the quota for the week will be met.

Second, those points are stupid. They might apply to far extreme religious folks but not to the majority.

Thats the whole point... Most people I know only poke fun at religious extremists. I think most people would agree that there's nothing wrong with religion in moderation

Should get Letterman to belt these points out,...wait, the unquestioning Christians are asleep at that hour,..damn.

...good points,..never to be "seen" with blinders on.

[livi]

Seems like a good life. Maybe I should turn hard core religious.

Oh you mean the bull s-h-i-t top 10? You should have just said it!

[Sorry folks, this is a secular country. And getting more secular every day. Just wait until November!

N!

[Lil Black Car]

This should help us find out who belongs to the ACLU. Now go tear down the crusifixes that are outside the city limits. Oh wait, that is not allowed in America is it? When are we going to take "In God we trust" off our money?
Christians= bad.
Securlists= good.

Go figure...

Shush. You obviously didn't get the "Christians are the root of all evil" memo...

Dont be precious, Rick.

Religion is the root of all evil.

Some say.

[Nathans_Dad]

Oh, it seems the ire is directed at Christians. Somehow, I never see the "Buddhists suck!" or "Hindu are idiots" threads...

[drew1]

Come on now Mule, you sound like you are "bitter" because some people "cling" to their rights provided by the Constitution of The United States.

Are you a presidential canidate?

We live in a "Christian Nation", remember? I'm sure the "Hindus are idiots" thread is popular on "www.mahindraparts.com"...

[Porsche-O-Phile]

The founding fathers were deists, not Christians. Try again.

Keep your religion out of my government, keep the government out of religion and we won't have any problems. Government should be secular, churches should be religious. Seems simple enough to me.
