Top Ten Signs You Are A Christian Fundy

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of other gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from lower 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 three gods (the "trinity") or four if you count Mary.

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/Yahweh 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 some spirit impregnated the "virgin" 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 (4.55 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 couple of 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 success 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 your god. So your god always gets the credit no matter what happens.

1 - You actually are more ignorant than many atheists and agnostics about your bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a devout Christian.

1. Thanks I enjoyed that.
They might seem mean but they do hit the nail on the head.

2. You're welcome. It doesn't seem mean to me to point out
the logical fallacies and inconsistencies in their beliefs. They don't like much but sometimes reality sucks.

3. We all see that already
Fundies will never recognize their own hypocrisy & contradictions. You're preaching to the choir (sorry for the metaphor), but well done anyway, nice summation. Copied & printing as I type.
