Are you a:
1: piss weak theist? Funerals and weddings and straight to the nearest cafe bar?
2: weak theist? Not sure the whole god thing is really real, but meh, I've doing it my whole life and you know what they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
3: cherry picker extraordinare! I enjoy the churchy life because it allows me to conveniently hide my predudices behind the veil of religion. Plus, I look forward to some cab sav and a cracker every Sunday morning.
4: I'm a believer!: I believe with all my heart that God loves me and will allow me to live on in paradise when he's finished with me here. Life just doesn't end for me! Thank you so much sweet baby Jesus!
5: I'm a Fundy!: I will pass on God's word to everybody I see! Especially those that haven't seen the light!
They're rude sometimes, that's OK because that's the devil making them say that of course! Derrr!
6: Full on Xtard: I speak with God on a regular basis. I sm so blessed! Who would have thought that the creator of the universe would have the time to talk with me? I suppose I'm just special? What's not to love about his beautiful mysteriousness?
7: GC,LR,MK Category: God, I love you so much I am drunk on your beauty and know not what I am saying! Thank you!
8: Exclusive club, platinum membership only: The bible and the Qur'an IS the inerrant word of God and I follow it to the letter.
No cherry picking for me! Cherry pickers are just pretenders! Gotta go, the warden's coming!
9: I am one with God. You poor lost sheep! As soon as they release me from this stupid straight jacket, I will unleash hell on all you infidels! Don't blame me? It's exactly what he wants! I'm just the messenger fool!
I'm effectively a level 1. If that's important to family and friends, I will not disappoint! Plus I love my café latte!
ignoramus,
If number 8 on your list was an actuality, which maybe only .00001 percent of pseudo-christians might follow, then there wouldn't be
enough prisons throughout the world to house these inept pseudo-christian delusional fools because they would have to go upon a killing spree,
just like their Jesus, or their Yahweh/Jesus god. Uh, that is, if they actually read ALL of their primitive Bronze and Iron Age bible. *cough*
If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, BUT KILL HIM. Your hand shall be the first raised to SLAY HIM; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall STONE HIM TO DEATH, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12)
Religion, the bane of any society throughout history.
