Know Your Christian.

     It's time for a round of "Know Your Christian" -- a game where I give a word and some possible definitions and you try to determine which definition best fits the way the word is used by christians. Today's word is "humble."

HUMBLE:

A> thinking little of oneself

B> being able to dance

C> afraid of the dark

D> actively seeking praise and recognition from fellow christians while paying lip service to definition A

The correct answer is D. This answer was determined by visiting christian sites, in which the christians claim to be humble. It is quite common to watch them give one another praise. Strange that they do this if they think the others only care about the praise of their god. Thanks for playing everyone!

I'm sorry you're seeing so much of the 'D' crowd. :-\

Can you say "Straw-man?" :-)

     Pointing out that someone's actions are not consistent with the beliefs they claim to hold is no straw man. Do you deny my observation that christians commonly give one another praise on these blogs? Or do you have a reason why they would do this if they are only concerned with the praise of their god?
