It'll never happen.

Instead of categorizing, in a box, Christians.....
personally I always ask...what sort of Christian are you?
I then receive an answer like Methodist, Catholic, Mormon, etc....

More important to me are the core values of someone who calls themselves a Christian.

It's kind of like the labels we want no one to use in BDSM

While I think this is a nice gesture...one should prolly take the time to find out who the Marin Foundation is and what they actually stand for.

Here's a link:

I found te parody site God Hates Shrimp and I have loved it.

I'll likely be carrying my own God Hates Shrip posters for the next "Christian protesters" that come to the Pride PArades to rail against the abomonations. LOL

While we're on humour, this made me snigger:

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

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.

It probably would have been better to post a source that wasn't an editorial by a Baptist seminarian.

ā€œI used to be a Bible-banging homophobe. I’m sorry.ā€

The article they refer to is from 2006, and the most recent reference is from 2008. That isn't yesterday.

I understand your wariness,

And

People do learn, change and evolve.
