Um . . . non-Christians do know that there are more types of Christians out there than just Bible belt fundamentalists, yes?

You can't fault non-Christians for failing to keep up with the thousands of conflicting beliefs that professed Christians might hold.

I can if they're going to make pretentious lame-ass attempts at lampooning my beliefs on the Internet.

I mean, honestly:

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. Yet, you consider your religion the most 'tolerant' and 'loving'.

What kind of a rock was this person living under that s/he hasn't heard of denominationalism? Was this written in the 15th century or something? So much for point number 1 (Atheists and agnostics know more about the Bible & church history than Christians! Oh, but not the person who made what you're reading.).

This looks like it was written by someone who had seen some of those skeptical graphics making fun of Christianity (some of which are admittedly rather clever) and had a "me too!" moment, but didn't have the knowledge of Christianity to make it effective or half the wit to make it funny.

Msjack,

Do you believe that you have to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior to go to heaven?

You can hardly fault atheists for assuming that Christians believe what is written in their own bibles.

Regarding #8: What is up with people's aversion to many gods? I mean, sure it might be false but why the aversion and disgust with such an idea as if it is dirty?
Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)
