Ten signs you are an unquestioning Christian

10. You vigourously deny the existence of thousands of gods named 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 defy 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 you life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of the earth ( 4.55 billion years ago) but you find nothin wrong with believing dates recorded by pre-historic tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that the earth is a couple of geerations old.

4. You beleive that the entire population of this planet with the exception of tose in all ribal sects will spend eternity in anj infinity hell of suffering. Yet you consider your religion the mose "tolerant" and "loving"

3. While modern science , history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise some idiot rolling around 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 prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer. And you think that the remaining 99.99 % failure rate simply is gods will.

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.

religion rant

Not really being in the ranting mood I would liek to state some good ideas to think about. If christianity is "the" religion to believe in, why are there so many sub-divisions as I call it. With-in christianity there are anglican/catholic/pentecost/etc. I mean do you think, hypothetically speaking if God cares whether or not you wear a skirt? Do you think he cares if you eat meat on friday? If there truly is a all powerful force watching over us, I'm sure he would be worrying about the countless children being abused/raped/murdered/tortured/enslaved rather then if you wear a skirt or not. I find it amazing how people roll on the floor whilst having convulsions at the pentecost church, I find this completely absurb to hear. God does not talk to humans, humans talk to god- then fill in the gap themselves by thinking its God but it's just them. So in conclusion, a church divided is no church at all.
