Question

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. 1You 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.

Answer 1

Nicely done! Good list - you really nailed it. And I see you managed to attract the longest single piece of drivel I've seen so far here as one of the responses.

Answer 2

Hm where should I start.
No. 10 no problem if you say ours doesn't exist...I don't fell angry if someone tells me God doesn't exists
No. 9 I can't see anything negative or provocative in this....we believe the bible...that's all
No. 8 A triune God who is one with three aspects and froms...He still one God
No. 7 I don't...yes He did do things...but you should see they were punsihe dmos tof the time+ if the jews did sthg not according to what god said they got punished...and some of those slaughters were not from God...and the jews got punished for it ...
No. 6 Greek Gods are all human-like Gods they have human characteristics..they play with humans like toys...the Holy spirit impregnated Mary, true...that doesn't mean god had sex with her...it was like in modern times with those vial babies or what are they..you know when they impregnate the oocyte and then put it back into the mother..it's the same only the oocyte was not removed...
No. 5 Who would believe that the Earth isn't many billion years old? I mean the bible doesn't say a word aobut the age of the Earth.
No. 4 tolerant...yes we don't kill people jus tbecause they insult our god...like some do in some countries...
Love...we love people more than you can think...but you know God is love yes, but God is also judgement...and He's the perfect judge...and if someone doesn't got he right was he goes the wrong way which is sin which has a burden: death...yet we tolerate a nothe rman's thoughts and won't force him to follow God...well at least I wouldn't force..those who do aren't christians..we jus try to convince them
No. 3 That wouldn't be enough...science would have convinced me for example...but since it can't expalin things, which the
bible can...I chose the bible +the bible explains science too
No. 2 I personally see in my life 99.99% is the rate of prayers getting answered......the other 0.01% is the will of God or other things
No. 1 Yes because they learned about them because it was in school or they were just interested...but they never looked at it as the Truth...because they are atheists and I might know nothing about the Word but I still can get demons out of people in Jesus's name and heal people with tthe help of God...

Wel I guess that raps it up...these are really good points my friend...yet I think you see bad christians in your environment..
God Bless!

Answer 3

10: No outraged, sad because I know that they are sentencing themselves to an eternity of torment.
9: I also feel worried that they can call a theory as flawed as evolution good science and claim the only theory that fits completely with the evidence is not worthy of consideration.
8: A triune god is still only one god.
7: It's no worse than what pro-choice people say is the right thing to do. Besides, what more fitting a punishment could there be for a country that had done it once and was planning on doing it again.
6: Jesus was already God when Mary was impregnated. God impregnated her, he didn't have sex with her.
5: Little loopholes? There is one fundamentally flawed evidence of an old earth, there are many evidences of a young earth.
4: We come not to condemn you but to show the love of God that you do not have to suffer for eternity. How much more tolerant can you get?
3: Modern science, geology, physics, and biology do nothing but confirm my beliefs.
2: God always says yes when you ask for something according to his plan. If you ask for something purely for personal gain, he is much less likely to say yes. (If he did, lottery winnings would be awefully small)
1: I certainly know more than you about the Bible, and I am sure there are many who know more than me.

Answer 4

All societies throughout the existence of man has worshiped some form of God. Why is the need for spirituality so great in humans all over the world? I believe in God. Not sure who, if anyone has got the story right as far as creation, evolution, and the history of man but I do believe that there is a God. I'm thinking it's a combo of religions. But who knows?
So I guess my answer is
God - Yes
Religion - flawed because people make up the rules as they go along.
Evolution - absolutely there is huge amounts of science to prove it. But here's my theory.... I think God put the Cosmic Soup here to begin with. The first amoeba, the first plant, the first micro-organism, whatever then we evolved from there. What if we were just like God's own personal science experiment?

Answer 5

10-None of the other gods in this world can heal, save, protect, or provide for their followers.
9-Believing we were created from dirt is alot more sane then believing some big bang happened and sent out chemicals which combined together and created particals etc....
8-You can't believe in multiple gods otherwise you have just caved in your own faith. There can only be one God no matter how many parts there are to Him.
7-The slaughtering of the firstborn babies in Egypt was an act of satan and so is the terror brought on by the followers of Allah.
6-I think believing that God impregnated Mary is alot more believable then saying humans turn into objects or other humans after they die. And yes, Jesus was crucified just like He promised He would be. The people back then didn't just decide to hunt Him down and kill Him, He let it happen and yes, on the third day he resurrected and ascended into heaven after 40 days on earth just like the Bible said.
5-God created the earth in 7 days but "days" to him could be thousands of years to us. And it's a little hard to believe that everything you see started from a big bang in the universe.
4-Even some believers in Christ will burn in hell, it just depends on whether you have been saved through Jesus Christ and had your sins erased by Him.
3-Scientists, etc. have nothing to do with speaking in tongues.
2-God said "Ask and you shall receive" and if someone asked Him for something through prayer and their prayers weren't answered it wasn't that it wasn't the will of God it was because the person praying was obviously lacking faith that God would answer their prayers.
1-Atheists do know alot---they know alot of lies and mistaken facts of the Bible and Christianity. Some Christians are very well educated in the Bible and others aren't because you have to learn as you go along, you can't just become saved and know everything there is to know about God or Christianity.

Answer 6

This "question" (!?!) has been "asked" dozens of times here already. The "question" contains many outright lies and gross distortions about the bible and true Christianity. Here are a few Scriptural thoughts to consider:

(Romans 16:17) Keep your eye on those who cause divisions and occasions for stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them.

(2 Corinthians 4:4-6) The god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers

(Philippians 2:14-15) In among a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you are shining as illuminators in the world

(1 Timothy 6:3-5) If any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, he is puffed up with pride, not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words. From these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions, violent disputes about trifles on the part of men corrupted in mind and despoiled of the truth

Answer 7

10-yes
9-yes, because God created us out of the dust.
8-Trinity=three distinct Persons in one God-Father Son and Holy Spirit.
7-What and he was punishing Pharaoh and Pharaoh had killed countless Jews.
6-So? that doesn't mean he did it with her, he just put the baby in the womb.
5-What?
4- God is loving but he cannot have sin in his presence.
3-What research did you do here? The Bible has been proven to be true, and modern scientists, not evolutionists, believed in God the Creator.
2-What are you saying? God answers prayer to his will. Maybe he didn't want you to win that Hummer.
1-I know the truth.

Answer 8

10) I feel there is truth and beauty in all the world's major religious traditions.

9) Nope, neither one bothers me.

8) Nope, I think the Trinity is a bad idea.

7) Nope. I think if your face is turning purple that easily, you need some blood pressure medication.

6) Nope, I have no problem with Hindu, pagan Greek or Christian stories about divine births.

Sorry, Yahoo Answers truncated the list of your whines and accusations.

Answer 9

"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."

You're wrong, this is a theory, not fact. For someone who says they're dealing with facts, you seem to have a very small grasp of the difference between theory and fact.

Answer 10

From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.

Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused.

Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead.

Romans 1:20-22 (NLT)

Answer 11

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

* LIKEWISE ... JUST AS IF CHRISTIANS DISCUSS SOMETHING AMONG EACHOTHER, ATHEISTS ARE OUTRAGED BY THE "MENTION" OF OUR EXISTING GOD AS MADE PERFECTLY CLEAR ON Y ANSWERS, THEY CALL US FOOLISH.

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.

I BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME FORMS OF EVOLUTION BUT ACCORDING TO SCIENTISTS, THEY TRACED THE HUMAN RACE BACK TO ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.
EVOLUTION ITSELF ISN'T WHAT BOTHERS ME. IT'S THE FACT THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMETHING TO COME FROM NOTHING SUCH AS THIS BIG BANG THEORY. SOMETHING HAD TO CAUSE IT AND GASES AND MOLECULES COULD NOT HAVE JUST HAPPENED IN COMPLETE BLACKNESS OF A NON EXISTENCE.
MY THINKING IS, WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T EXIST, IT DOESN'T EXIST AND CAN'T EXIST UNLESS SOMETHING ALIVE CAUSED IT FIRST.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

Isaiah 46:9
Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.


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!

Genesis 19 (Sinful city of Sodom and Gomorrah)
12 The two men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."
Romans 2:5
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.

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.

JESUS WAS SPOKEN OF THROUGH PROPHECY.
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14)

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.

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? BECAUSE THEY HAD TO REWRITE THE WHO THEORY OF EVOLUTION A CUPPLE TIMES?

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."

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he GAVE his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall NOT PERISH but have eternal life.

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.

THAT WOULDN'T PROVE ANYTHING EITHER. ANYONE COULD SPEAKS IN TONGUES WEITHER IF THEY WERE DOING IT IN THEIR PRAYER OR DOING IT IN VEIN. I DON'T WATCH WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING CAUSE I DON'T NEED CONVINCED BY THEIR ACTIONS. WHAT I EXPERIENCE PERSONALLY IS ENOUGH THROUGH MY FAITH.


2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. 1You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of god

MAYBE THAT'S HOW IT WORKED FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU HAD NO FAITH . BUT WITH ME, I HAVE GOTTEN PLENTY OF RESULTS.

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.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T READ AT ALL BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN'T FOLLOW CHRIST. BEING INTELLEGENT ISN'T WHAT IS REQUIRED TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
SALVATION IS FOR ALL. BIG AND SMALL. SMART OR DUMB.
WHAT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO IS A CHOICE.
