It has a few trolls, though.

Are there any more modifications you'd like to make? Before I just flat out call you a troll?

I've seen this list before titled as "You know You're a Devout Christian When..."

Numbers 5,6 and 7 are my favorites. Good list overall. I believe the phrase is, "Hey, it's funny cause it's true!"

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.

Oh? Is is really that simple for you? I guess you had it all figured out. Like, couldn't you just say, "I don't find the idea of the existence of a supernatural deity a bit off" rather than act like you've studied judeo-christian theology in university for years and years to make an educated statement about it?

I hate these kind of statements, that it takes years of studying theology to really understand this crap. I heard it for years from my older brother who went to a Bible College, and still feels he is the one true expert on explaining God's mysteries. One should dare not question the crazy none sense in the bible, we should instead rely on the learned theologians.

Personally, I think the study of theology is a waste of time. There is merit in studying the bible as literature, and there is merit in studying the historical evolution of the world's religions, but to get a degree in theology to me is akin to a degrees in quackery.

Bart Ehrman studied the fucking thing for years and concluded it was a pile of shit.


Perhaps your brother should go back to class?
