- gregsmamma, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3digg is getting so boring! we get it already, the people on digg don't believe in God. please lets move on and get some variety in the articles submitted on here!
- Renork, on 01/02/2008, -2/+5You are obviously not an intelligent Christian so no, you do not have to answer them.
- inactive, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2you better be kidding, youre awful
- IHaveIssues, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2I'd like to see a good christian give his/her rebuttal answer to these.
- Xerces, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2This should be 10 Questions that every Intellegent non-athiest must answer.
- JustAGamer, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2Okay so if it was just god and only god then where the hell did Satan come from? Why doesn't god just kill Satan if he is all powerful? And what u said... i quote "To prove that his way is better" so you're saying that god is just wanting you to say "ya god you're kick ass and what u say is right is right you're the most badass mother ***** around" then he's happy with you. Ya god is a ***** joke you wants to be cool and is pushing around the little guys to promote that image of himself. It's all *****.
- Wiini, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2It's not like "Ditto" is the most intelligent answer I've ever seen.
- IHaveIssues, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2You would rather he copy/paste the previous answer?
- austenw, on 01/02/2008, -2/+3Answers to those 10 questions
amputees and prayers?
The answer to this question is actually the answer to quite a few of the questions he's asked. But the answer requires a bit of history. So God created the universe. (Note, not in 6 literal days, 6 days is more than likely a symbolic way of saying era. They were 6 creative "eras", or stages of creation) When God created the universe, initially there was only God, then he created his son, Jesus. After that, the angels were created. It was clear to the angels and Jesus who had created them and to whom they owed their alleigance, God. There would be no question because they would have witnessed him do it.
Enter the creation of Adam and Eve. They were the first humans. They were given two instructions from God himself; (1) Be fruitful and become many, (2) Do not eat from the tree. Easy. They were given two instructions, both of which were given for their protection and as a way for them to show their acknowledgement of God's right to rule over them. When Satan tricked Eve into eating of the tree and she in turn went to Adam and he ate of it, they, in effect, challenged God's right to rule. They, by eating of the tree, showed by action that they wanted to their own thing and not follow orders. Also, Satan, more directly, claimed that he could do a better job at ruling over the Earth than God. He also claimed (SEE THE BOOK OF JOB) that no human would ever serve God out of love, but would only do so out of selfish gain.
So, God devised a way to prove Satan a liar, to vindicate his rightful place as Sovreign of the Universe, and to find those few humans who truly would serve God out of love and not selfish desire.
Fast forward to modern day. The plan is still in place and is still be accomplished. The fact that Satan rules over this world is clearer than could've ever been seen before and it's clear that he can't do a good job. The fact is, the majority of self professed christians are not christians at all. They claim to be and do hedge service by going to church every so often when it's convenient or their conscience needs a boost from all the sinful things they've been doing.
So why doesn't God answer amputees? Because that's not how God works. Answering prayers isn't some magical things that just makes bad things go away. God is allowing his sovreignty to be proven, to prove that his way is better and those who actually follow the teachings found in the Bible really do live good, honest lives. Unforunately, they too live in this horrible Satan controlled world, and statistically, yes bad things happen to everyone.
I'd answer the rest of the questions but most of them fall into place if you think about it. Also, my fingers hurt. Maybe later. - Taorluath, on 01/05/2008, -0/+1In my opinion, Satan is more of the "dark side" of freewill
- stilesja, on 01/17/2008, -0/+1Oh yeah, here's the recipe

Forgot to mention, ITS FRIED! LOL - Taorluath, on 01/02/2008, -2/+3Here's another question: why do wave-functions collapse?
"So you invent your excuse, whatever it is, and then stop thinking about it, because it's uncomfortable." I think God has a plan for the amputees. Yeah. That's not any more of an excuse than whatever answer you have for the collapsing of wave-functions.
This slideshow is really biased - Taorluath, on 01/02/2008, -3/+4This slide show has been put together by an atheist who obviously doesn't understand some elements of Christianity. The thing about drinking blood is a clear example; though to Protestants the blood thing is just symbolism, even to Catholics, it's just a reminder, not a "satanic ritual" like the author of the slideshow would purport.
- thestevo, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2I find it very interesting how digg has come to only support certain concepts these days. Some I agree with, some I do not. The two big popular concepts of the community are Ron Paul and atheism, and it seems like only supporting articles make it to the front page, I bet this one will.
Even the vehement atheists among the community must admit that it didn't use to be this way. Its fine that it changes, its rather like a form of free-market news and nobody forces me to read digg. I just wonder why these trends so much resemble crusades.
Oh well. The digg down button is the red one on the upper right. - floridiot2, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Elvis ate peanut butter and banana sandwiches?
- fotomatt, on 02/23/2009, -0/+0Austen, at the outset, you accept that the Bible should NOT be taken literally. And yet, you then proceed to provide a *detailed* account of various creations, the order in which they happened, the specific knowledge that these creations would've had, and finally, God's crafty strategy to try to show humans (his own creation, right?) that Satan (also his own creation, right?). That is certainly a lot of VERY specific detail which you offer up to us as Truth, taken from a book that you think should not be taken literally.
Are you familiar with the phrase "glaring contradiction"? - Xerces, on 01/02/2008, -1/+1Let's take a look at why. Ron Paul is the only man with something new and helpful to offer. Atheism causes no wars or prejudices. So if you would like to run the earth into a ditch while reading about adam and eve please continue on this path.
- fotomatt, on 02/23/2009, -0/+0"...that Satan (also his own creation, right?)."
Ummm... I forgot to finish that sentence. Please insert at end of line: "...is a liar."
Not that it /really/ matters, of course. ;-p - Xerces, on 01/02/2008, -2/+2It really amazes me to see how many people still believe in their religions as the reasoning behind everything. It's almost the same as still believing the earth is flat.
- stilesja, on 01/02/2008, -3/+2Everyone knows god doesn't exist. They just play along for the tiny tiny chance that they are wrong.... oh and to not scare their moms into thinking they are going to hell... Mom's eat that religion stuff up like Elvis ate peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
- Xerces, on 01/02/2008, -2/+1The video isn't 100 percent accurate, but it's much better than the -3 percent accuracy of the bible.
- Xerces, on 01/03/2008, -2/+1Ok so by that rational you are considered to be the people who still believe the earth is flat.
- IHaveIssues, on 01/02/2008, -3/+1You wrote a lot but said nothing to add to the discussion. Here's an example: why do believers get together and hold prayer groups for someone who has cancer but not for someone who has had a leg blown off?
- cr4ft, on 01/02/2008, -5/+2I was about to bury this for the paradox in the title (intelligent Christian), but then I realized that would be too harsh.
And besides, how intelligent do you have to be to believe that a space-man ascended to Heaven or sticks can turn into snakes or that an angry God would plague an entire nation with frogs...? - Wiini, on 01/02/2008, -7/+2(yawn)
- inactive, on 01/02/2008, -10/+5God won't heal amputees because they're all a bunch of homosexual *****-loving American haters. Damn liberal pussies.
- Wiini, on 01/02/2008, -9/+2Really? Must I answer these?
Nope.
