2. You don’t believe that Christ walked this earth, but you are living in the year 2011 Anno Domini (“in the year of our Lord”).

3. You don’t believe that Christ was born of a virgin, but you enjoy your Christmas presents.

4. You don’t believe in God, but you cry, “Oh my God!” when something happens.

5. You don’t believe in hell, but you don’t like it when someone tells you to go there.

10. You don’t believe you have a soul, but you don’t like to be called a soulless person.

11. You don’t believe in spiritual laws, but your conscience is bothering you.

12. You think that a person is just a living body without a soul, and yet this body (and not the soul) can hope, believe, love, dream, hate, envy, and grieve.

The love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10)

There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9)

Am I my brother’s keeper? (Genesis 4:9)

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth (Matthew 5:38)

As you sow, so shall you reap (Galatians 6:7)

For every thing there is a season (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

Spare the rod and spoil the child (Proverbs 13:24)

18. You don’t read the Bible, yet you refer to it every time you call somebody

An apple of your eye (Deuteronomy 32:10)

A lamb to the slaughter (Isaiah 53:7)

Doubting Thomas (John 20:24-28)

Your flesh and blood (Matthew 16:17)

Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)

19. You enjoy the beauty and harmony of this world – the ocean, mountains, stars, forests, meadows, rivers, birds and animals – but you believe that all of it appeared by itself.

20. You don’t believe in God, but you believe in science, even though the Probability Theory shows that the chance of this world having been created by an intelligent being is trillions of times higher than that of this world appearing on its own.
