10 New Commandments for Fundamentalists, Evangelicals & Creationists
- Thou shalt promise heaven for believers at the beginning of arguments, and hell for non-believers at the end of arguments.
- Thou shalt put thy fingers in thy ears and repeat “I’m not listening, I’m not listening” when confronted with evidence against your faith.
- Thou shall make no attempt to understand scientific or rational explanations of things when they conflict with the word of God.
- Thou shalt condemn evils committed by non-believers, and ignore or praise evils committed by believers
- Thou shalt explain all of the world’s seemingly needless suffering as “necessary but unknowable due to the mystery of the Lord”.
- Thou shalt look forward to, and even encourage, the destruction of the world.
- Thou shalt love thy neighbor as long as he attendith thy church.
- Thou shalt cherry-pick the Bible to suit thy purpose.
- Thou shalt memorize the circular argument that “God exists because the Bible tells us he exists, and the Bible was written by God, therefore it must be true”.
- Thou shalt blame all the evils of the world - as found in the Bible and interpreted by you - on homosexuals and atheists.
- Bonus Commandment (follow this one and get an eternal supply of salt-water taffy and Nike Air Sandals when you arrive in heaven): Thou shalt take all atheist quotes about God out of context to make it appear the source is/was a believer.
