Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian (Evil Bible)

Post Reply New Topic

The list left out the most obvious sign. It is either made of cardboard and hoisted in a stick or is a sandwich sign with the carrier walking the street. It usually reads "The World Will End In (some number) Days.

I suddenly feel like subverting that by using the data of the sun going Nova in a Sci-Fi... Nothing like saying that the world will end in more than thousand years...

Whoever wrote that up is just plain sick and needs prayer.

well, it was kinda surprising for me to see that considering he defends freedom of speech, I mean, it happens that sometimes someone is accused of being a troll for being unPC, and it appeared to me that that would have been one of those cases. Not to mention that I never took it as something being aimed to members from this site, hence my reply of printing it and showing to few christians I know.

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 don't have an issue with people being "unPC." This was just obvious trolling. I don't see how I am contradicting my stance on free speech by pointing out that in this case MrMark was acting like a troll. He can post what he wants, I can criticize it. Free speech all around!

8. You recognize that the human brain has gotten smaller over the last forty thousand years, but you're certain that everybody who lived in the human past is dumber than you.

No, falsifiable means that it can be shown to be false. There is no reason to expect that the potential evidence will be physical.

"7 is prime" is falsifiable.
"8 is prime" is falsifiable.
"9 is prime" is falsifiable.

There is no physical evidence possible for these.

Ummm.... you'll have to explain what exactly you mean, and explain to me what "bully gang" there is, how this bullying works, and how it is unnatural and not right, and explain to me what would actually be natural and right.

Well, there isn't "policing", but popularity is hard to deny in social behavior. I mean, if you disagree with a person's ideas, you'll criticize these ideas. If a lot of people criticize an idea, then they will feel like there is a hostile audience. If this happens, then they are more likely to post less on these matters. This is all completely natural, and hard to avoid when dealing with people. So, I don't see how your criticism fits in, if you want to explain it, go ahead.

In other words, this forum is a snapshot of society where the Mob Rules. That is a slippery slope I think I will have to pass up.

Not only are you trolling, but you're flaming a group that is essentially nonexistent here after they were (mostly) chased away last year.

I label this thread "epic fail."

Extremely accurate stuff.

Are there any specific points with which the local Christians would disagree?

This local Christian finds the original list mostly funny. An extreme exaggeration like most top ten lists are, that sadly might accurately describe a very small percentage of all the Christians ... thank God for the very small percentage part.

I've long seen the inconsistencies in my own religion, but they don't seem like a big deal when you consider the Bible to be God inspired stories, not a completely accurate recorded history; and consider certain constructs to be unknowable mysteries, and not absolutes. The majority of Christians are not literalists.

That said, it looks like there was some ugliness in this old thread and I'd rather lock it, if there are no objections (giving some time for those objections to appear).
