1 - You vigorously deny the existence of
thousands of Gods claimed by other
religions, but feel outraged when someone
denies the existence of yours.
2 - 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.
3 - You laugh at polytheists (those who
believe in many Gods), but you have no
problem believing in a Triune God.
4 - You feel disgust 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!
5 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that worships
humans as avatars, 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.
6 - You are willing to spend your life looking
for little loopholes in the scientifically
established facts, e.g. 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.
7 - 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."
8 - While modern science, history, geology,
biology, and physics have failed to
convince you otherwise, some crazy people
rolling around on the floor speaking in
"tongues" may be all the evidence you
need to "prove"Christianity.
9 - 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.
10 - 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.

wow... too funny

1. you love god
2. obdient goes along with loving god
3. love thy self with positive thought and respect process
4. love others as you would thy self
5.love thy enemys
6.bearer of love on the sleeve and light of the world
7. knowledgable and wise and very understanding and sees the big picture
8.fears nothing but god
9.fights fire with water and hate with love and anger with mercy and turns the other cheek
10. darkness into light just and right as bright as owl as loving as a dove as courageous as a lion as strong as a eagle

huh... i understood everything in the OP, but yours is a little vague... can you explain 8-10 please?

9. meaning a real christian is a peacemaker not a vengance seeker and knows how to walk away
10. darkness into light meaning they come out of the dark and shine
and the animals are symboles of what a christian man really is owl is knowledge and wise dove is loving lion is brave and courageous and eagle flys and soars very strong and confident and high

I like #8
We have 2800 gods to choose from that mankind has worshiped since recorded history began.
So why not choose a god that demands we "fear nothing but god", ohh I forgot, this is the loving god ??????

*sigh* Whether you believe in a religion or not, you ought to do more research before claiming to know about it. You demonstrate a very shallow understanding. I suggest picking any saint or religious philosopher you care to and read. I'm fond of Augustine myself, as well as the Greek and Russian Orthodox saints. The various Protestant denominations have some interesting insights, but they lack the complex and learned worldview of Orthodox and Catholic traditions. (I find John Calvin depressing and generally avoid his stuff)
ETA: to the OP, Augustine dealt with the difference between polytheism and the triune God in "Confessions" at length.

funny how the default when one cannot dispute my point is... to attack the messenger ...me.. and throw the ignorant card at me.."you ought to do more research before claiming to know about it. You demonstrate a very shallow understanding."

I spent 12 years at St John's School and one of my degrees is from Baylor University(owned by the Southern Baptists)... it is because of my exposure and knowledge of religions that I realize they are all imaginary, delusional belief systems....

this,,,In my experience, is the 'sign' of a christian

love

this is not to say that non christians are not also loving, but generally, I find that when we come across people who have an aura of 'positivity' and 'love' for others,,,,its pretty safe to figure they are christian,,

Well geez whiz, guess I'm not a christian.


No loss to either side.

but there is loss on both sides....
you don't have fear and guilt
and the church doesn't have your money !!

Well according to the original post I am not a christian. I don't know how I can live with myself.

if you don't want to do christianity......
there are 2799 other gods to choose from
or just go godless lol

So long as there is spaghetti, this will be a god. As Pastafarians would say, it's just a question of whether or not you believe in meatballs.

Ahhhh, but you must accept the meatballs, eat of the meatballs and drink of the sauce or you won't get desert...

2. Don't take what he is saying personally, Gaea. You know I love you, baby. Forgive him, honey. There, there. Its going to be alright. ((Gaea)).

now,under #9,what are you going to do when you run out of Cheeks?
