Found this list...It cracked me up

I think it is more in the nature of questioning the nature of the Bible not the nature of God. But we shall see what other responses we get.

Yes, despite my placement of the discussion I am assuming that I will reel a few of them in.

Ah well, such is the nature of the beast.

Sweet dreams.

Yo bear.


*thumps bible*

Hmmm it sounds hollow.


Hehehe

You have an empty one? Mine has all sorts of stuff in it, really it rattles.

Well since my poor little star took a beating I thought to myself, what the hell.

Someone attacked your star? Well, find out what kind of posting makes them mad and do it some more. That's what I do. That star is meaningless and attempts to squash free speech through star manipulation are despicable. Any myLotter can and should stand up for freedom and liberty by ignoring the star and writing what they believe to be true.

BTW: I believe myLot when they say an individual can not lower your star. However, a group of people or rogue myLot admins certainly can.

Oh I know exactly whom (group), when, and why.

Politics - attacks on Palin and her supports.

Oh well -

Now I know why my star went from a 6 to a 5, I was wondering about that. Oh well, who cares?

I specifically avoided saying you might be a Christian vs. you might be a Over the Top Evangelical

just sayin..............

good point Irish...........not all Christians are created equal.

I only choose to attempt to live what I know to be true. It's really all anyone can do.

I should have said to everyone that this is specifically focused on a particular type of Christian....those that it is focused on will not recognize themselves, I am certain.

The list is from one of my favorite web sites....

Evilbible.com

Heeeey:D

But your a cool christian, you have a star wars loving geek pagan as a friend:D:D Hehehe.

;hugs jedi;

EvilBible.com

One of my favorite research sites. Sometimes funny, but also has great research on a number of subjects, biblical that is.

Well I kept this out of the 'religion' interest so that there could be a discussion without attack.

I think there is a certain type of Christian that this list applies to. Most, no. Some absolutely.

As with all generalizations some not all. I have seen my fair share of those that the list does apply to.

As have I. But most of my friends profess themselves Christian and most are not this narrow or odd in their thinking.

ok, but why not?

The question is these are simply observations put in somewhat humorous terms about a certain type of Christian.

what isn't funny?

Out of the mouths of babes, those are cute!

A friend sent them to me, I have several more if anyone wants, I will post them.
Here's another cute one:

Dear God,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay? -- Neil

I especially liked:

Dear God,
In bible times did they really talk that fancy?
Jennifer

and:

Dear God,
I think about you even sometimes when I'm not praying.
Elliot

Thanks, I added those to my list keep em' coming. Here are two more:

Dear God,
Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house? -- Anita

Dear God,
Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident? -- Norma

Those are all great, I especially liked Elliot.

Are children not wonderful in their insightful minds. What happens to us, really. We certainly lose somethings in growing up don't we?

(actually I was going to do a thread about these very notes, but here is as good a place as any)
Here's some more:
(spelling left as original, haha)

Dear God,
If you watch in Church on Sunday I will show you my new shoes
Mickey D.

Dear God,
if we come back as something please dont let me be Jennifer Horton because I hate her.
Denise

Dear God
Maybe cain and Abel would not kill each so much if they had their own rooms.
It works with my brother
Larry

Dear God,
If you give me genie lamp like Alladin I will give you anything you want except my money or my chess set.
Raphael
(and genie lamp and Alladin was underlined, haha)

Dear God
We read Thos. Edison made light.
But in Sun. School they said you did it.
So I bet he stoled your idea.
Sincerely,
Donna

Dear God,
If you let The dinasor not extinct we would not have a country.
You did the right thing.
Jonathan

(hilarious, haha)

Dear God,
Please send Dennis Clark to a different camp this year.
Peter

Dear God,
Thank you for the baby brother but what I prayed for was a puppy
Joyce

Ok Joyce is running a close second with Elliot in my mind.

When I was a kid I prayed that my mothers dog would run away and my brother would stop talking.

LOL, those are all so cute!

hahaha aren't they though?
Ahhh, ya gotta love the honesty that kids communicate.
Of course, then they all grow up.. haha

There are so many good ones it's hard to pick one fav.
Even Jonathan's is right up there with the best I think.

Yes and this just goes to show how narrowminded some are toward Christians to believe this applies to us all.

I never care what people think. I respect everyone's right to their beliefs as long as they don't try to impose them on me.

Of course they are generalizations. They are intended to be. Similar to any other form of "ism" they can be insulting. I think that is why I find them terribly funny. Frankly I see many people I know in them. I see many public figures in them. I see may zealots in them, many evangelists in them.

Does this mean that I see all Christians in this light? Of course not. Frankly I think 97% of Christians in this world have good sense, good intentions, and are overall good people. It is those 3%'rs that ruin it for everyone else.

I intentionally left off the "You might be a Fanatic" from the Heading to see the reaction.

I intentionally did not preface my comments with anything other than a few comments about why I didn't put this in the Religion "interest". If you had been privy to some of the contentious discussions around religion, faith, and even faith based politics....well you would understand my purpose.

I have said over and over again - I don't believe this fits all. But those it does fit will never see themselves in it.

Sorry that you were insulted by the way.

You'll have to forgive me. I hadn't read your replies to people. Then got distracted and forgot to post that I saw that.
