She's too busy praying for you to respond. Don't you feel the power of the lord coming down on you?

Hehe.. that just made me think of this: next time someone says they'll pray for you say "Please don't, it gives me diarrhea."

Isn't it funny that Christians pick and choose what parts of the Bible they believe in? Isn't it funny that Christians preach about loving God but have probably not read the entire bible?

When religion ruled the world they called it the dark ages.

The world is going to hell BECAUSE OF religion... not because there are people who do not follow it...

Check this site out for victims of the Christian faith:

Oh, and by the way, where in the Bible can I find that conversation between Jesus and Satan??

Well, if I'm not mistaken, it's in one of the gospels. I'm on my way to class, so I don't have time to look for it. Jesus wanders off to the mount of olives to meditate without his disciples and Satan tries to get Jesus to give up his ministry and worship the old boy himself. Jesus refused.

No no no, you have it all wrong. All those crimes were perpetrated by humans who didn't understand God. A True Christian (tm) would never do that. In fact, a True Christian (tm) never does anything wrong because he's got the HolySpiritThankYouJesusMmmHmmm. You should remember that all those people who perpetrate inhumane crimes embarassing to xtianity are Not True Christians (tm).

It�s interesting to note in this chain email the common Christian assumption that the world is, in fact, going to hell. It�s always astonshing to me that this group of people who center their lives around two thousand year old mythology fail to notice how awful the social situations described in �The Bible� were. What time period are they using as a reference point when they describe this supposed decay of civilization? A hundred years ago? Five hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand? Clearly the bad things (such as war, disease and starvation) have coexisted with the good for all of human civilization. This Christian notion that the world is going to hell only serves to demonstrate how inherently negative the foundations of this supposedly �positive� worldview really are.

If anything, I think we�re lucky to be living in the twenty-first century. At least we have antibiotics and toothbrushes.
