• Are You "That Christian?"

  from theblackspiderman

  Since the dawn of "Revelife" (btw, Xanga's spellchecker does not recognize that as a word) I realized that there sure are a lot of Christians on here (xanga).

  But wait! Just how Christian are you? Are you a mini Joel Osteen? Or are you just trying to stay awake in church?

  Are you ready to rock with the Revelifers?

  WELL THEN DO THE TEST, YA JESUS FREAK

  Note: you do not actually have to be a Christian to take this test...you might be more Christian than you think!

  Alright soldiers, break out that built-in calculator with the "tithing" function that's inside your kevlar-wrapped ESV Bible.

  Let's get it cracking like eggs are on the menu.

  0: That Rebellious Kid in Youth Group
  

  
  "Ugh, what is it? Can't you see I'm trying to listen to SlipKnot? You know you're not allowed to talk to me."
  
  Move along, there's nothing to see here. Go back to listening to your Limp Bizkit and dying your hair black, ya heathen.

  1-100: Pastor's Kid
  
  
  Aw, I understand - being a pastor's kid is hard work! You wanna be anti-parents and anti-establishment like your other peers, but it's not so easy when everyone in the church expects you to be the second coming of C.S. Lewis.
  
  Cheer up PK, when you go off to college you can be whoever you want.
  
  101-200: Homeschooling Mom / Christian Athlete
  
  MOM JEANS FTW

  Homeschool Moms and Christian Athletes both appear to be pretty hardcore Christians when they're in the spotlight. No one can know they go to strip clubs with the team...

  ...and the moms watch Sex in the City while they drink wine after the kids go to bed. Shhhhh!

  201-300: Pastor-In-Training
  
  "And God said, 'THOU SHALT RAISE THINE CHILD'S ALLOWANCE!'"

  Oh snap, Holy Roller, you're almost to the ultimate status. You go with your minivan driving, bible-school attending, sound-team working, 15% tithing, Sonic Flood-listening self.

  I bet you even work in Children's ministry, too. You're gonna be a great mom or dad to those 6-12 kids. I'm sure of it.

  301-400: "That Christian"
  

  Wow. Many have tried to reach such heights, and many have failed.

  At this point, you have no problem standing on a table in Burger King with a megaphone, saying - "OH I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL KING!"

  You can sling Bible verses like David slung stones, watch PG-movies all summer long and love it, drink Starbucks coffee like its water, and wear multiple WWJD bracelets at the same time. You even made up your own WWTOTGD bracelets (What Would The Old Testament God Do?) for those days when you just feel like unleashing your own brand of Holy wrath.

  If being a Christian was like Pro Wrestling, you'd pretty much be Hulk Hogan in his prime.

  401+ Pat Robertson's Apprentice
  
  "You know I'm rockin like a Grandma's house chair! And these foos think I'm playin'!"

  Uh oh. Now you may have gone too far. I'm gonna have to get together some people and start praying for you, because you're starting to scare me.
  
  Add them scores up! And tell me...what did I leave off the list?
  
  p.s. This list is based off purely personal experience.

  p.p.s. My own score is probably over 100

  And props to Eadie for help with this list.
