Top ten signs you're a Christian fundie
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 (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 "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.

1. Can I add another?
You have no idea who Ron Reagan Jr. was talking about when he said that his dad didn't wear religion on his sleave, and, after coming to think that God had spared him to do good, viewed that as a responsibility, and NOT A MANDATE.

3. I think I'll print this out...
...and keep several copies in my purse, just in case. Being down south, I'm liable to come across someone attempting to convert me any second now.
