Christians do believe a lot of bizarre things, don't they?
Here are the top 10 signs you know you're a conservative Christian:
10. You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods 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 directly from dirt.
8. You laugh at polytheists, but have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7. Your face turns purple when you hear 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 ascended into the sky.
5. You are willing to spend your life looking for 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 the Earth is a few generations old.
4. You believe the entire population of this planet with the exception of those that share your beliefs -- though excluding those in 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 and speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2. You define 0.1% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence prayer works. And you think the remaining 99.9% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1. You actually know alot less than atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Santa isn't a fairy tale. Fairy tales involve fairies. Santa is loosely based on Odin, the Creator-God of the Germanic and Scandanavian mythology.

Santa is a jolly old elf. Any 23rd level Dungeonmaster knows that Elves are Faery Folk and thus it is true. Santa is a faery. Oops.. was that not the question?

you're able to feel embarrassment approximately your self. what sort of occasion are you putting for the boy? right here you're married to Mr. Owl and you have a boy pal??? shame on you, god gets you for that. right this is what you do - you could play that bf or husband (which ever one you like), tell your toddler to ask "Santa" for a diamond neclace or new vehicle or notwithstanding present you like. Then while your bf tells you what the toddler needs, you could say he has to get it for him or the toddler won't think of that Santa is real. That way while the toddler gets the sturdy assets you could "carry" it for him. After some years it is beneficial to offload the bf or he could get sensible. you could constantly get yet another sugar daddy.

because santa clause tells kids to always want more possessions, to get exactly what they want
God tells kids to be kind to eachother, to want something more than just possessions
and that is your answer

You have an interesting title - Black Atheist. Wow. Why spend so much time touting your unbelief and challenging those who do believe, if you're so convinced He isn't really there?
That would be like me calling myself "Doesn't Believe In Fairies", to make sure everyone knew that I really, really, really don't believe in fairies! They don't exist, so I have to expend all my energy and MY existence to make sure everyone knows the little buggers aren't really out there.
Hmmmmmmmmm. How's that working for ya?
