Create-Your-Own Christian Handbook
Fundie Mom is at it again.
This time she claims that Christianity is "just like any other secret society" - it has rules and regulations for its members, even 'secret' rites of initiation. If a member screws up (i.e. breaks a rule), tells a 'secret' or reveals a 'mystery' to the uninitiated, then he or she gets booted out of the ever-encompassing circle of Christ's love and is doomed to hell forever. So... If you were going to write up a handbook for Christians, what would you put in it? Or what WOULDN'T you put in it? |

Your "fundie mom" sounds more like some Gnostic sage from the first century.
And if I were to write a Christian handbook, I'd make it a requirement never to breed (and that goes for genes AND memes  )

I just want to know what the "secrets" are!
She makes Christianity sound like the Masons. |

Bree, I did a web search on "secrets of Christianity," and instead I found links about Christian magicians. Ah, well, they are amusing anyhow.
