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.
This is fucking awesome! It was out of sheer nostalgia & curiosity that I decided to check out Megadeth’s brand new album United Abominations. The band in question have been known for an ever rotating list of band members with the sole exception of guitarist & lead vocalist Dave Mustaine. Truth be told, it is , in every aspect, Mustaine’s band. And I was a huge fan of the classic line up of Mustaine, Dave Ellefson (bass), Nick Menza (drums) & Marty Friedman (guitars) that was stable from 1990 onwards till 1999. That line up produced some great albums, so anyone who comes as replacements for any of the other three members is gonna have to prove themselves big time. So I got the album and now I can say that I really did enjoy it! Megadeth is back to singing about corrupt politics, war & hatred. This is a great return to form for the band, even though 3 of the quartet are new members. The band’s current lineup is a good one, with guitarist Glen Drover, bassist James LoMenzo and drummer Shawn Drover.
