"certified christian"...?

[ulysses]

They offer a certificate?

[Avalux]

1. and who exactly issues the certificate? How does one know it's valid and not a fake?

LOL! The idiocy is mind-numbing! :rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Do you think they certify viginity as well?

[ulysses]

6. and how do you get a job doing it?

The mind boggles...

[treestar]

3. What did they have to do to get it?

Was there a fee?

:rofl:

4. I got one when I was baptized, and another when I was confirmed

Then again, I am a confirmed non-believer nowadays, and no one has ever given me a certificate. I'm a "confirmed batchelor," too; I can't provide a certificate but I do have references. :toast:

5. What do you mean?

I know churches keep lists of their own members.

7. it's in that "christian singles" ad. n/t

[Deep13]

8. certified, huh?

My guess: he goes to a mainstream, conservative or fundy church and is not a Catholic, Mormon, Unitrian or a member of a mainstream liberal church.

9. Yes - if comes from the asme company that certifies gays

You know, the one that gives you a toaster oven if you convert 5 people.

10. I have often wondered

how you confirm when someone says they have been "born again"

I mean, shouldn't they have a placenta to show you?

Apparently they have a certification process though. I wonder if there is a test? Is it harder than, say, the driving test?

Do "born again" Christians consider those who don't make that claim to be inferior? Just wannabes?

But here is the real rub:

Call me silly, but I don't think there is such a thing. So that means that EVERY ONE of these fundie holier-than-thou hypocrites is faking it. They don't have a clue what "born again" means, but they claim it happened so they can be one of the gang. Their so-called "unquestioning faith" and slavish belief in the whole Noah myth etc. is bogus and they know it, because they know - every last one of them - that they are lying to the world about being "born again" and clearly thinking they are getting away with it, so they obviously don't buy the omnipotent-god thing either, or they'd fear going straight to hell for lying about such a critical fact. They don't believe that god is paying any attention to their lies, because they don't truly buy any of this mystical crap.

11. Shouldn't that be "certifiable" christists? nt
