You might be a Practical Atheist if…

 

1.    You crave acceptance from people more than from God.

2.    You rarely share your faith in Christ.

3.    You do whatever it takes to alleviate your felt guilt.

4.    You think more about life on earth than eternity with God. (jobs, houses, cars, 401k’s, standard of living)

5.    You gauge your morality based on comparison with others not on the biblical standard.

6.    You want to be saved from the penalty of your sin without changing your life.

7.    You only turn to God when you are in a bind.

8.    You give whenever it does not hinder your standard of living.

9.    You really are no different than anybody else in your neighborhood, company, family, etc.

10.     You want the benefit of who Christ is without having to become like him.
