1. That's way too many for me to read this evening

but I'll say, too many people use religion and and misdirected love of God to flog their fellow human beings.

If only 1/2 of the people who did this shit stuck to improving their own walk with the Creator, rather than bashing others, then this would be a much better world.

Thanks for taking the time to put all this together HH. It's evident you spent some time on it.

4. no problemo..

thanks for choosing a belief system which lends itself to ridicule.

5. You actually buy into

some of the shit these sites are espousing?

I don't. And why, yes, I am a christian. Thanks for asking.

6. Actually, I don't believe I did.

Christianity, as taught by Jesus, is a religion of love and respect. The Golden Rule, the practice of putting others before yourself, of helping those who need it and never mind about the details of who they are and what they believe, is, when practiced, the most beautiful of religions.
Too bad that Chick and Company are so busy preaching thier prejudice as 'Gawd's Word', and making Christianity look bad.

9. Isn't that the problem with Christianity

No one is too sure who's interpretation is the right one. And Jesus doesn't seem to be making any reapearences anytime soon to sort things out.

8. Barna surveys on evangelical Christians

I don't have a problem with most Christians, I feel most of them are good people. It's the born-again Christians type I don't like.

The American Family Association, a far right lobbying group in Washington, released results from a recent survey that shows mainstream Americans see evangelical Christians as one of the least likeable groups in the country.

Researchers from the Barna survey asked respondents how they felt about evangelicals, born-again Christians, ministers, and other groups of people in society. According to the survey, evangelicals came in tenth out of eleven, narrowly beating out prostitutes.

The Barna Research Firm is defending a recent survey which found some disturbing statistics regarding born-again Christians and divorce. The survey found that born-again Christians were just as likely as non-believers to divorce.

In fact, the survey found that the divorce rate is higher for Christians when compared with non-believers.

A new survey shows that adults with no connection to the Christian faith have low opinions of evangelicals. The researcher who conducted the study believes that may be one reason why churches are not growing.

The Barna survey asked respondents how they felt about evangelicals, born-again Christians, ministers, and other types of people. According to the survey, evangelicals came in tenth out of eleven, trailing lesbians and lawyers but beating out prostitutes.

A friend of mine just returned from a conference reporting disturbing results from a new survey. North Americans were asked to name the type of individual they would least like to have as a next door neighbor. The most feared and least liked next door neighbor -- a serial killer, a drug dealer or a terrorist? Not according to this survey!

The number one, least liked and most feared potential next-door neighbor (imagine a drumroll here) -- a conservative Christian!

A new survey shows that evangelicals less likely than other Americans to help children orphaned by AIDS.

The survey of more than 1,000 adults, sponsored by World Vision and conducted by the California-based Barna Research Group, found that 3 percent of evangelicals said they "definitely" would help children orphaned because of AIDS, compared with 5 percent of all respondents.

Americans have been called the most religious population on earth. But a new study shows that only a minority of adults strongly hold opinions that line up with scripture.

A recent Barna Research survey showed that 60% of all adults agree that the Bible is totally accurate in all it teaches. However, people's knowledge of the content actually taught in the Bible often falls short. For example, 53% of people believe the Bible teaches that God helps those who help themselves. Forty-one percent agreed that the Holy Spirit is not real, but a symbol of God's presence.

10. "narrowly beating out prostitutes"

I don't see how prostitutes lost that one. I mean, with a prostitute, you know you're getting <blank>ed. She's not going to lie and tell you she's not going to <blank> you...

[TreasonousBastard]

13. Being "born again" is not...

in itself a problem, and it's basic to much Christian thought.

The problem is that when one is born again one's sinful nature is changed, but one's asshole nature is left untouched.

12. Hey Hawk, thanks much

Chick tracks have always frightened this Christian.

I'm sure they'd frighten Jimmy Carter and (if he were still here) Dr. Martin Luther King too.
