Are You A Christian Fundamentalist ?
1 - Do you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours ?
2- Do 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 ?
3 - Do you laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God ?
4 - Does 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 ?
5 - Do 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 ?
6 - Are 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 ?
7 - Do 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."?
8 - 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.
9 - Do 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 ?
10 - Do 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 ?

Some of the most hateful things have been said to me by a Christian.
That is because most Christians in America, probably 90% (no joke), are pelagian or semi-pelagian. It was started by a man name Pelagius, and his ideas are what form the "holier than thou" Christians. He proposed ideas that went against the Bible, and at the time, it was said that anybody who takes part in the "semi-pelagian error", let them be anathema, or accursed. What Pelagius had to say went against some of the fundamental ideas of Christianity.
But his teachings gained popularity, especially though James Arminius, a semi-pelagian, who is the namesake of the denomination Arminianism.
Most Christians in America would fall under the category of Arminian.
The differences between Arminians and Calvinists (Calvinists being the people who rejected Pelagius's and Arminius's ideas) are subtle in a way, yet huge.
If that makes any sense.
Also, I know what he said. I was making a smart retort to what he said.
