Challenging Your Beliefs.

Brother read me something funny the other day and I want to share it with you now. I could just add a link here but I'd rather write it all out for you to read. Here it comes.

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.

There you have it. I find this piece very interesting, don't you ?

I'm watching the original Doctor Dolittle from 1967 on TV. With hubby on the couch under the covers.


Went to the estate agents today to check out our options for a new flat or a house and now we just need to decide where we'd like to live. Should really look for more options online.. With estate agents it takes such a long time to get anything done. But if there were any problems with the new place, we could get it sorted quickly through the estate agent. Anyway.

They found the Great Pink Snail or what ever they were after in this movie. And apparently it's 2000 years old. And guess who's cousin it is ? I'll give you a hint. She lives in Scotland..

You guessed right. The Loch Ness monster and the Great Pink Sea snail or what ever are cousins. Oh dear. Only an English movie could come up with these kind of stories.. To be perfectly honest, it's not a bad movie, it's quite entertaining.

Here's a picture of their 1967 Great Pink Sea Snail.

That's all for now. Need to pack all our stuff. Could do with some food first. We went to the pub for the quiz last night and we only got like 30 answers right. Hmm. Have a nice night everyone!
