		<description>Sorry for the length, but thought this was worth posting.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Top Ten Signs You&#039;re a Fundamentalist Christian&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed&lt;br /&gt;
by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the&lt;br /&gt;
existence of yours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 9 - You feel insulted and &quot;dehumanized&quot; when scientists say that&lt;br /&gt;
people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the&lt;br /&gt;
Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a&lt;br /&gt;
Triune God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the &quot;atrocities&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
attributed to Allah, but you don&#039;t even flinch when hearing about how&lt;br /&gt;
God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in &quot;Exodus&quot; and&lt;br /&gt;
ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in &quot;Joshua&quot; including&lt;br /&gt;
women, children, and trees!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims&lt;br /&gt;
about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that&lt;br /&gt;
the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who&lt;br /&gt;
got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes&lt;br /&gt;
in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years),&lt;br /&gt;
but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age&lt;br /&gt;
tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few&lt;br /&gt;
generations old.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the&lt;br /&gt;
exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in&lt;br /&gt;
all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of&lt;br /&gt;
Suffering.  And yet consider your religion the most &quot;tolerant&quot; and&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;loving.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have&lt;br /&gt;
failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the&lt;br /&gt;
floor speaking in &quot;tongues&quot; may be all the evidence you need to&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;prove&quot; Christianity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 2 - You define 0.01% as a &quot;high success rate&quot; when it comes to&lt;br /&gt;
answered prayers.  You consider that to be evidence that prayer works.&lt;br /&gt;
 And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will&lt;br /&gt;
of God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do&lt;br /&gt;
about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call&lt;br /&gt;
yourself a Christian. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>AOL,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;So, you&#039;re saying that your god is based on a real person, too?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jesus was a real person, so yes God did come in human form. I did not know you were a Christian. You had me fooled.</description>
