2. Your church recently removed any reference to God, Christ, or denomination from its name in order not to offend anyone who may be driving past who may have had a bad experience with God, Christ, or said denomination.
3. When your neighbor mentions they just read the first chapter of Genesis, you are quick to make an excuse for God and point out that this is the one place God didn't quite write it down correctly.
4. When someone mentions Christians and history, you immediately start apologizing about the crusades even though you never had anything to do with them, they happened over 700 years ago, and you still have never met anyone who had the slightest desire to emigrate to Iraq, Jordan, or Syria.
5. When someone accuses you of being a member of the Religious Right, you vehemently deny it even though you have Psalms 139:15, Ephesians 5:22-33, and Exodus 20:15 underlined in your Bible back at home.
7. You tape on a Coexist bumper sticker over your Jesus fish when driving into San Francisco, Seattle, or Washington D.C. scared of what may happen to you if your car breaks down.
8. You will wear any contemporary fashion making only the occasional minor adjustment to modesty, but you quickly point out to your friends that those silly women in long dresses and head coverings are all legalists.
9. When the BBC compares Muslim fundamentalists with devoted Christians in the United States, you are quick to point out that you love all people. That is you love all people but over zealous Christians who hand out tracts on the street and make you look bad by implying there actually may be a hell.
10. When your neighbors walk up to your house at Christmas time, they notice an apology note on the outdoor nativity set saying you are extremely sorry for taking over the season and diminishing the importance of Winter Solstice.
Feel free to add your comments, complaints, and your own "You may be embarrassed to be a Christian if..." to the list in the comments.
