I regret "laying out" in the hot midday sun of the midwest, lathered in baby oil on top of someone's roof.

What was I thinking?!

I've heard every excuse in the book given: Please give me a star, I'm depressed! Please give me a star, my boyfriend broke up with me! Please give me a star, my cow has rabies! The only person who went about it in a clever manner was Avatard, and yes, I gave him a star because his question about it was clever, if a little obvious, but no one else.

Isn't it obvious that they are just trying to rack up stars? For the record, I have no stars left to give to people who so blatantly beg for them. I'll give stars for good questions, that's it.

If anyone begs for one, my answer is I have no stars left. They all got raptured!

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian




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 Hell 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

i found this article showing how christians are actully sun worshippers....http://www.seiyaku.com/customs/crosses/sun.html
heres a section of what it says - "The Sun is clearly seen on the banner of the evangelical Christian organisation, the Salvation Army. It repeats itself in the construction of church buildings, and images of the Virgin Mary often show her heart, or baby Jesus, radiating like the Sun. For the Roman Catholic 'Society of Jesus' (Order of Jesuits), the Sun is central to their symbol"
"And to 'prove' Christians are really Sun-worshippers, let's remember what day of the week Christians reserve for their Lord Of course, we are not supporting this Sun-worshipping view. But if it's not Sun worship, then why do Christians use the Sun symbol so much?
so are christians sun worshippers unknowningly?

1 Cor. 8:5, 6, RS: “Although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords’—yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.” (This presents the Father as the “one God” of Christians and as being in a class distinct from Jesus Christ.)
1 Pet. 1:3, RS: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!” (Repeatedly, even following Jesus’ ascension to heaven, the Scriptures refer to the Father as “the God” of Jesus Christ. At John 20:17, following Jesus’ resurrection, he himself spoke of the Father as “my God.” Later, when in heaven, as recorded at Revelation 3:12, he again used the same expression. But never in the Bible is the Father reported to refer to the Son as “my God,” nor does either the Father or the Son refer to the holy spirit as “my God.”).

Those who are Christians, you know what saved means. Those who are a little confused, that is to be devoted to the teachings of Jesus and to give your life completely to God. Also it is to believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and to be risen on the third day. I want to know which is it that you must DO and what part of Christianity do you practice (Baptist, Methodist, Pentacostal, etc)?

Look, I try to stay out of the business of other faiths and denominations, but this really got to me.

Why do you make your people go around in dress slacks and long-sleeve dress shirts when the heat index is 100+?

I spend a lot of time outside in the heat of summer. I know what it’s like. It’s no fun even in shorts and barefoot.

What would be so terrible about nice shorts and a nice short-sleeve shirt?

As far as I know, Christ and his followers dressed in the custom of their day. They didn’t go out of their way to look different.

Yes, I felt sympathy for this poor guy who came to my door, and maybe that’s what you want? I don’t know. It just doesn’t seem right when it’s so hot out.
