11 They also claim that odious things in the Old Testament were done away with by the New Testament even as they continue to use the OT to prove some of their beliefs.
12 They don't have a problem with crediting their god for finding them a parking space while a child in another country starves
13 They believe that their feelings are proof of god's existence.

That one really ticks me off. They pounce on the weak and on people who have fallen on bad times and take full advantage. A person in need is often very malleable and they know it. Missionaries are the worst example of this.
Anyone who helps another person out of the goodness of their heart and expects nothing in return has got my respect and admiration. Doing it for an opportunity to advance an agenda is contemptible. It's like a boss giving a raise to an underling because it will make it more difficult for her to reject sexual advances. It's a particularly dirty tactic.
It ticks me off also.
