Does this sound like a Christian? ?

Question

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 h**l 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.

Answer 5

If you are going to cut Christians down try telling the truth.

Answer 6

10. I can think of another religion that KILLS people for denial of their god.  My God tells us that we can believe what we want, but there are consequences to the actions.

9.  I don't feel dehumanized when people do that.  I feel dehumanized when I hear about live birth abortions.

8.  I've never laughed at a polytheist.  I feel sorry for them.

7.  God didn't murder babies

6.  That is the absolute truth.  I believe what the Bible says about that one.  Others, however, are free to believe what they want about it.  

5.  Archaeologists have proven every single view of what you deny.  Also, there are prophecies contained in the Bible and not ONE of them has been wrong.  

4.  Yup.  Read and educate yourself with the Bible instead of using assumptions.

3.  I don't believe in speaking in tongues.  That's a specific denomination that you refer to.

2.  My prayers have been answered every time I've prayed.  That puts it at 100% for me, and I'm sure you used a very accurate scientific method dealing with percentages.

1.  Your comments show a LOT of Christians that you don't have a clue what the Bible says.

I hope you don't really feel the way you posted. My answers are for the person who made the list. The person who wrote the list has a very self-serving, weak minded argument against Christianity.  Besides, if they are so enlightened, why criticize it when they complain about Christians criticizing other religions?  Hmmmmm, guess I'm not the only hypocrite around......  

Answer 7

Not at all.

True Christians anyway.

Thoose arn't true Christians at all.

But I see what you mean.

I don't laugh at anyone. =)

Answer 8

Meanwhile, what is an Atheist? Could this be one?

10 - You deny the existence of gods or any beings including the great Flying Spaghetti Monster ~ but it's fun to use the FSM to bait others tho.

9 - You agree with scientists (no matter from which religion) that say people evolved from other life forms. You believe it with a religious fervour.

8 - You laugh at polytheists and theists, and sometimes even agnostics.

7 - Your face never turns purple, you don't flinch, you get only slightly upset when people talk "religion".  

6 - You laugh at all religion-type beliefs. You love to create wise-crack jokes about their beliefs.

5 - You believe in the age of Earth (few billion years), because it's scientifically proven and approved by your Grand Atheist.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet who are like you not only know it all, but are the most "tolerant" and "loving" as well.

3 - You have faith that modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have proven that only idiots believe in god(s).

2 - You don't need to pray ~ unless you desperately require a little divine intervention  ~ like being mugged and praying you don't get killed as well. But you know that's 0.0000001% chance of it happening so it does not matter.

1 - You actually know a lot, lot more than many Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus do about their religions. But, of course, you do not believe that sort of stuff. You studied them in order to better ridicule them. Or else you won't be a "true" Atheist.

0 - You ate s h i t. So you think, believe you are truly and mightily an ateshit. And it feels good.

00 - Whatever it is, you feel you are beyond any unseen, greater "being" above or below the heavens.

Answer 9

Honestly?  My personal opinion of what it sounds like...

With a list like that and so meticulously mapped out... Sounds like you've got "issues."

Every person in the world won't fit the mold that you decide is "okay."  Deal with it; the rest of the world does.

You asked and I gave my most honest answer.  On the flip side:  I'm a Christian--a real one and we do think so I'll elaborate by saying that you may have run into a few folks and gotten some first impressions that weren't so favorable; you may have misinterpreted some things or taken some things out of context; you may have met some folks that say that they are Christians but aren't really living a Christlike life--possibly haven't even been saved; then again you may just be taking what you've heard others say and lumping all folks that believe in God into one bundle--that's not a good idea when forming an opinion about any group of people.

At any rate, doesn't upset me to see that you and millions of other people have a low or distorted opinion of Christians.  After all, some may not agree with my opinion of you (based on what you've written above).

_______________

PS   There are over 2.1 billion Christians worldwide.  You've made some strong generalizations.

Answer 10

Congratulations. You are officially a whiner.

Sounds like complaining to me. I mean, you did take the time to make a question and post a list of ten statements starting with "you", as if you're frustrated.

Answer 11

You have just described the perfect atheist !

Answer 12

I love it! You are dead on..here is a shinny star for you.

Answer 13

Edit: Deleted cause after all it was a waste of time.

@seebob: Arguments? There were none. I say 'black people are lazy' or 'christians think they're better than anyone else' and you consider that an argument? Where's the study interviewing 1000 Christians that proves that they think like that? So basically the poster is speculating, how do you go by debunking that?

@seebob: Hmm, so if I said the atheists I know 100% like preaching and crushing peoples hopes for no good reason would it mean anything? I see no point in attacking people with a specific set of beliefs.

Aha! You read up a bit on the old times. Gory stuff I must say and those aren't the hardcore ones either. Yup, have read it. Instructed the prophet to kick the 'false' priests of a cliff, tampered in battles, encouraged adultery, killed the first borns in Egypt. Covered you there? :P -doesn't change the fact that your Herod example was off -

Answer 14

Some, but not all.

Answer 15

if you make your question detail little smaller, we will waste no time reading it.

Answer 16

you got a lot of them wrong but it does take a special individual to believe in God, his word and his laws.

We were made of earth, Adam was created as a full grown man.

Satan tempted Eve, Adam sinned willfully and lost eternal life.

God's plan to get eternal life back was for his son to exchange his life for the life Adam threw away. Thus redeeming us.

So he had to come into the world the way we do...by being born.....

Herod wanted to kill the Messiah so he wickedly demanded all the children 2 years and younger die.

Jesus escaped.

God has rules to live by...if we honor and worship him , his way, we live forever......if we do what we want we will die.

Learn the correct way to worship God. Study with JW's .

Answer 17

First of all, we all don't believe in a Triune God. Secondly, cut it out and quit the whining, k?

Answer 18

I hope you feel better after spending time into making this list.  Though one wonders what else you could of accomplished with that time...

EDIT:

Oh you copied someone else's wasted time and posted it as your own... how odd...

Answer 19

I think that is an unfair generalization. I am a Christian, and I don't exhibit any of these behaviors.

10 I believe there is a possibility of other gods. The bible even achkowledges this.

9 I have no problem considering sciences theories, and am perfectly willing to update my own in light of new facts.

8 Don't believe in the trinity, at least not in a typical way. But I don't laugh at polytheists either.

7 I don't believe any loving god would commit atrocities maliciously, therefore I throw out the parts of the bible that make God look angry, envious or otherwise sinful and can only assume those parts were inserted by men making a point.

6 again, not laughing at anyone. And I don't know if Mary was a virgin.

5 the earth could be a trillion years old for all I care. In fact, I find that interesting.

4 I don't believe in a God of suffering

3 That's just scary!

2 I don't think about success rates of prayers. I believe God helps those who helps themselves. I think he gives us the tools to answer our prayers, but we are sometimes too blind/lazy to see/use those tools. So I guess looking at it that way, my success rate is darn near 100%. People thinking their's is less are likely overlooking the answers.

1 I do my best to study and learn, not just from the bible but books of various world religions and from science as well. They all have something to offer.

My beliefs often conflict with the beliefs of others, even other Christians. But I respect everyone's right to an opinion.

Your list tries to show that Christians are intolerant and are bigots, but all that list (and your apparent agreement with it ) does is promote unfair stereotypes, intolerence and bigotry.

Answer 20

Just try reading a small sample of Christian postings on here!!!

Intolerant, egotistical, hate filled and bigoted!! Eschewing education, science, evolution works of fiction and much, much more. Christians are the only religion opposing human rights and persecuting g**s, pro choice and so much more - but far worse whilst they demand freedom of religion they deny it to all non Christians and persecute them!!!

The simplest definition nowadays is a group that has lost all idea about a loving god!!

Answer 21

Make assumptions much. You are wrong on them all.

Answer 22

I am a Christian with ADD, so I couldn't finish your whiny list.  I'm sorry you feel so angry that you have to put down Christians in the same way you claim Christians put down others.  By the way, your "facts" are flawed.  You should watch "The Truth Project."  It is a logic-based defense of Christian beliefs.  I think it would help you understand our faith, and correct some of the inaccuracies you have perpetuated above.

Surprise me.  Tell me you'll be open-minded enough to do it.

Answer 23

All nonsense

Answer 24

A bit of generalization, but yes, quite a few christians are just like that.

Answer 25

Well done Lee...spot on !!!!!

I noticed that the Christians did not put any effort into debunking your assertions.

Simple retorts such as...nonsense...not true...highlight the fact that they cannot refute your arguments.

As usual, they are like ostriches sticking their heads in the sand when confronted with something they don't like.

@ eremin...those 10 points strike a chord with everything i know about

christians...and to the other poster who said God did not kill babies...have you even read the Bible....Just 2 of many examples..God killed all the innocent babies as a result of the Noah Ark flood and all innocent babies were killed when God destroyed Sodom & Gommorah.

And your assertion that 100% of your prayers have been answered is unbelieveable at best. Have you prayed for terminally ill people and they have been miraculously cured??

Did you pray that no one would be harmed when Hurricane Katrina hit?? Did you pray for rain for the farmers still experiencing drought and committing suicide because those rains never come???? Or do you pray that you have "a happy day" and ohh..I'm always happy so he has listened to me
