Top 10 Ways to Tell if You are a Christian
Stole this from OZ on Huffington Post:
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

top five ways to know that you have a major athiest chip on your shoulder:
5) you're lazy enough to spend all of your time picking on Christianity because it's the majority religion in the country in which you live.
4) you excuse every medieval and maniacal tradition that Islam adheres to on the basis of things that Christians did over a thousand years ago.
3) you generalize the entire faith because you're just too intellectually deficient to actually get into a discussion with an intelligent Christian.
2) your religion is science and you have faith in it even when it doesn't have tell all the answers, much like Christians do in their God.
1) you somehow manage to single out Christianity in a post such as this as if EVERY other religion in the world and their followers are way more reasonable and logical.
Apparently I'm the lazy one, having not spent the time to come up with 10. Enjoyed your blog. Make it a great day!
