Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

• 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.

 

hahah good stuff. true!

 

Well the thousands of Gods you speak of do not have any prophecies that would back up their claim. Their are no less than 300 prophecies in the Old Testament that fortold Christ coming hundreds of years before He arrived. And it also fortold the rejection of His own people.

The Bible has strong evidence to support it's claims where the theory of evolution has no evidence. Only blind faith. Evolution has been around for over 100 years, and we are still waiting for the first fossile that would show trans-species.

The three in one God is much like the basic building block of the universe, the atom. Three parts, yet all making up one atom.

The prophecies of the Bible stated that until Christ returns the East gate in Jerusalem will remain sealed up until Christ returns and than He alone will enter that gate. It states that we are not to worry about it's fulfillment. The Bible clearly states that this prophecy will not fail. Twice the moslems tried to break the prophecy, and twice they failed. Go to Jerusalem, the East gate remains sealed just like the Bible said it would. The Bible also states that the generation of people that see the Jews return to Israel will not pass away until all of the Bible prophecies will be fulfiled. The world is going to become a very dangerous place in the years to come, and Jesus said if it were not for His return man would destroy himself. When Christ returns there will still be people alive on earth who were born in 1948. The year when Israel declared itself a nation again.

 

:sunglasse OK LOL Tell it like it is my brotha' Tell it like it is. That was great. I am going to send it to my freinds over the internet. I would love my siter to read that keep on keeping on dude. Peace

 

Ooga booga booga!

 

God made evolution too. It might be a joke that you don't get. Hopefully you will sometime.

People get so offended when they don't understand you are joking about something.

 

And God said, Let there be Light -- is not evidence. sorry. its a myth just like any other in history.

 

DUH, what more evidence do you need:

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/5001/5001_01.asp

If Jack Chick said it, it HAS to be true

(I agree, but be careful, last time I called it mythology I got a whole load of abuse)

 

Man came up with the theory of evolution, if you want the truth you have to read the Bibles Genesis account, and you will not find the theory of evolution there.

 

Evolution and scripture will never agree, and could only do so if you pervert what is clearly written in Genesis. And yes in my 54 years on the earth I have taken a little time to consider evolution, and can see why many scientist are now distancing themselves from the theory. Evolution was always vodoo science, and was embraced from the beginning only because it was a theory that countered the Bible. Yet as the years passed it became ever an increasing embarrassment to the scientific community because the evidence, the trans-species could never be found in the fossil record. Please show me the evidence. I can hardly wait. After one hundred years we should have mountains of it but the facts are every thing thay claim as evidence could be placed in a small coffin with room to spare.

 

I have attempted to do my own research, but the arguments both for and against evolution quickly jump into thinkgs like population genetics, organic chemistry, cellular genetics, and other very complex topics that I am just not very well versed in. However, good, professional, well-respected scientists have made arguments both ways. Also, both sides have questions which have not been answered by the opposition.

One of the problems that I have with evolution is that the concept of natural selection is a tautology.

 

You believe that Mahatma Gandhi, and His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, are hellbound for refusing to become Christians, and that ... you ... know something they don't and therefore you feel confident that God is on your side, not theirs.

And if they support your right to believe that, and they say it is good, and is your true path. You say they are misguided and have to do it your way, and their path is wrong, cuz it isn't Christianity.
To me, that is arrogance. The God that promotes such an unaccepting, exclusivist, superiority obsessed institution, isn't mine. And if that God is the real thing and doesn't like that Hindu Temple, that Synogogue, Mosque, Sweat Lodge, or Science Lab, then I am in big trouble, cuz I am.

Ain't scared tho, cuz God ain't like that. I bet on it. God personified is hard for me, but God the energy field, the sentient power. I love science. I love how it seems to validate a God with each new revelation. Good Christian folk, Sikhs, Buddhists, New Agers, etc. are a joy to be with. But fundies.....though a fun novelty to spar verbally with well, they get scary.

 

What you don't realise is that man (in fact 4 diffrent men) came up with the story of genesis... The diffrence between genesis and evolution is that there is evidence for evolution... I've yet failed to see any evidence for the garden of eden or anything else associated with the genesis story (yes, story, that's all it is).

 

All I have to say is Fossil Evidence, it doesnt get anymore concrete than that.

 

aahahahahahaahahahaha that sound exactly like my mom, damn that is my mom

 

How does the Fossil Evidence at all deal with the fact that "natural selection" is a tautology?

 

My mistake I didnt mean to quote you. It was more of general reply.

 

It is possible (and, in fact, probable). I do not, however, presume to know or determine their eternal state. I do believe that hell exists and that many people will go there.

I have my personal experience and evidence on which to lean. Our ideas (me and His Holiness) are incompatible. Ergo, I either agree with him and toss out experience and evidence, or I disagree and pretty much have to draw the conclusion that he is incorrect. God taking "sides" has nothing to do with it.

Right. So, if the God of the universe says "worship me" and you worship a god by the same name with completely different characteristics, then are you worshiping the God of the universe? I don't think so. My God came and died for me because human beings are completely incapable of bridging the gap created by sin. My God said that the only way to come to Him was by faith in Him. If you have faith in a different god (even if you use the same names) then you are NOT worshipping my god and, consequently, you will not be able to reach Him. Is this exclusive? Yes, in that only a few will choose to follow. However, the invitation to follow is open to everyone. That, by definition, is NOT exclusive. Does having a measure of exclusivity make it wrong? Not at all.

So you are betting on a sure thing? How do you know that God isn't like that?

 

Fair enough, it's all good

I would still like an answer to my question though (from anyone).

 

Well campbell34- if you really want the truth about the bible, you need to read it.

Genesis is a Jewish fable. The holy ghost inspired me to tell you this.

In addition about your claim that man created the theory of evolution, let me correct you with more passages from the bible:

The Lord created the theory of evolution. God created everything. Booyah...
