Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
http://www.evilbible.com/Top_Ten_List.htm


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.

Täytyy jättää vastaus tähän, kun näin hyökitään. Tosin aika nopsasti kirjoitin ja siitä en tiedä kuinka paljon aikaa tuohon kirjoitukseen kuka sen nyt on kirjoittanutkin, on käytetty.

Ten signs that debunking fundamentalists is not as clever as it may sound
10. If there is truth, it must be vigorously defended. People who have found the truth, must defend it. If Jesus is the son of God, other "gods" are not.
9. Human body contains actually (in real life) the contents of dirt. That is scientific fact and can be verified in the laboratory. The story about life evolving itself has not been verified in the laboratory. I believe preferably things that can be verified. Faith can be as well, but that is other story.
8. Fundamentalist are not laughing at polytheists - at least should. Only thing that living God laughs (in Bible), is the people who say that there is no God. And if you can imagine yourself to the place of God, you can easily believe that.
7. That baby slaughter is small picture what God will do to his enemies in the end. No is mainly time for mercy, so that people could turn to His side to avoid penalty of being His enemy. It is said that leave the judgment to the God, no not you judge. Love your enemies. That is totally different message that Allah is saying to the followers: kill the enemies that do not suppress themself under authority of Allah. In the end, the kingdom of Jesus is in heaven, not in earth, and therefore the ruling of earth is not Bible believers task.
6. Once more I can not see why fundamentalist are laughing at those beliefs. At least I have/and will study thoroughly those beliefs and decide after that what they are. What is said in the Bible is that the arehly man will laugh at heavenly wisdom, and that is what I see how people are treating Bible and Jesus believers.
5. Actually there are not so many scientific measurements to have many billion year earth age. There are many more measurements that give considerably shorter lifespan of earth and moon. For me, it seems that scientific community is not very truthfull in this, but they don't want to publish too much information which could be harmfull to their wonderfull story.
4. God is not tolerant to His enemies. Do you see what happens to the enemies of mankind - they will get the outmost penalty. What happens to the enemies of God - they will have just that penalty which is said in Bible. You see, enemies of the god will have much greater penalty, than the enemies of mankind, as much as God is greater that mankind.
3. This is not true. Actually speaking in tongues is not a mark at all. There are many marks but to keep it short, when dealing with death, I prefer to hear the man who has won the death and come back to tell us about things waiting us after death.
2. I understand that not all people are getting answers to their prayers. There are many things why God is not hearing those. I haven't found that God has not answerd to any (100%) of my prayers. Of course God is not wanting give somebody may in their loose moments want. The key is our eternal wellbeing, not all things are good for that. And when people pray, they should first know that.
1. Show me one agnostic who knows more about Bible that me. And I am just average "fundamentalist" if you want to say it so.
0. In the end those so called "fundamentalist" go to heaven and not because they are fundamentalists, but because they are believing in Jesus who can only pay the sins of those "fundamentalists". But all those who want to have the same faith, can have the same wellbeing in the end, be it former atheist or whoever.
