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.

"On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong

And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy,

Why can't we have eternal life,

And never die?

In the place up above you grow feather wings and you fly round and round,

With a harp singing hymns.

And down in the ground you grow horns and a tail and you carry a fork,

And burn away."

(The Who)

Who are you and who am I

To say we know the reason why?

Some are born and some men die

Beneath one infinite sky.

There'll be war, there'll be peace

But everything one day will cease

All the iron turned to rust

All the proud men turned to dust

And so all things time will mend

So this song will end.

-Pink Floyd

I have seriously thought about having this played at my funereral if I bought it at work.

Mama, take this badge off of me

I can't use it anymore.

It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see

I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground

I can't shoot them anymore.

That long black cloud is comin' down

I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Already being in Purgatory , either up or down would be a pleasant change :P;) :

I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness

But all that thought you're giving me is conscience, I guess

If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none

While you and your friends are worrying 'bout me, I'm having lots of fun

Counting flowers on the wall

That don't bother me at all

Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo

So don't tell me I've nothing to do

Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town

As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down

So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doing fine

You can always find me here and having quite a time

Counting flowers on the wall

That don't bother me at all

Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo

So don't tell me I've nothing to do

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright

Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light

And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete

So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Counting flowers on the wall

That don't bother me at all

Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo

So don't tell me I've nothing to do

If I Were A Carpenter

by Leon Russell

[CHORUS]

If I was a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway?

Would you have my baby?

[VERSE 1]

If a tinker was my trade

Would you tinker with me?

Would you keep the vows we made

Followin' behind me?

And if I was Jesus

And I built some crosses

Could you see the future?

Could stand the losses

Of lovin' a carpenter

And being a lady

And takin' a chance on me

Just to be my baby?

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrow, yes

I'll give you my onliness

If you just give me tomorrow

If I was a rock star

Would you be my groupie?

Would you make sweet love to me?

Come to California?

Well, I might go crazy

I have to warn ya

Well, I get so mean sometimes

When the spirit's on me

That I think I'm Jesus

Out buildin' crosses

Could ya see the future?

Could ya stand the losses?

Of lovin' a carpenter

And being a lady

And takin' a chance on me

Just to be my baby?

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrow, yeah

I'll give you my onliness

If you'd only give me tomorrow

[bRIDGE]

[repeat CHORUS]

[repeat VERSE 1]

And if I was Jesus

And I built some crosses

Could you see the future?

Could stand the losses

Of lovin' a carpenter

And being a lady?

Would ya take a chance on me?

Would ya be my baby?

Come take a chance on me

Won't you come away with me

Come take a chance on me

Won't you be my baby?

Won't ya take a chance on me?

Won't ya be my baby?

Won't ya take a chance on me?

Won't ya be my... ohh, be my... ohhh

... Be my... ohhh...

Jesus, He knows Me ~ Genesis

You see the face on the TV screen

coming at you every Sunday

see that face on the billboard

that man is me

On the cover of the magazine

there's no question why I'm smiling

you buy a piece of paradise

you buy a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted

I'll get you everything you need

don't need to believe in hereafter

just believe in me

Cos Jesus he knows me

and he knows I'm right

I've been talking to Jesus all my life

oh yes he knows me

and he knows I'm right

and he's been telling me

everything is alright

I believe in the family

with my ever loving wife beside me

but she don't know about my girlfriend

or the man I met last night

Do you believe in God

cos that's what I'm selling

and if you wanna get to heaven

I'll see you right

You won't even have to leave your house

or get outta your chair

you don't even have to touch that dial

cos I'm everywhere

And Jesus he knows me

and he knows I'm right

I've been talking to Jesus all my life

oh yes he knows me

and he knows I'm right

well he's been telling me

everything's gonna be alright

Won't find me practising what I'm preaching

won't find me making no sacrifice

but I can get you a pocketful of miracles

if you promise to be good, try to be nice

God will take good care of you

just do as I say, don't do as I do

I'm counting my blessings,

I've found true happiness

cos I'm getting richer, day by day

you can find me in the phone book,

just call my toll free number

you can do it anyway you want

just do it right away

There'll be no doubt in your mind

you'll believe everything I'm saying

if you wanna get closer to him

get on your knees and start paying

Cos Jesus he knows me

and he knows I'm right

I've been talking to Jesus all my life

oh yes he knows me

and he knows I'm right

well he's been telling me

everything's gonna be alright, alright

Jesus he knows me

Jesus he knows me, you know...

Why Me, Lord

~written by Kris Kristofferson

Why me Lord what have I ever done

to deserve even one of the pleasures I've known

Tell me, Lord, what did I ever do

that was worth lovin' you or the kindness you've shown

Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it so

help me Jesus I know what I am

but now that I know that I've needed you so

help me, Jesus, my soul's in your hand

Try me, Lord, if you think there's a way

I can try to repay all I've taken from you

maybe Lord I can show someone else

what I've been through myself, on my way back to you

Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it so

help me Jesus I know what I am

but now that I know that I've needed you so

help me, Jesus, my soul's in your hand

Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it so

help me Jesus I know what I am

but now that I know that I've needed you so

help me Jesus my souls in your hand

Jesus, my soul's in your hand
