- h4sh1sh, on 11/21/2008, -4/+45You capitalize G in God because it is a proper noun dumbass. Needless to say when writing fiction authors capitalize 'Hercules' and 'Moby Dick' as well even though they don't exist.

- CoreyTamas, on 11/21/2008, -9/+21This was the first Onion article I ever read... and that was more than just a few years ago, let me assure you.
I'm not usually one to digg down an Onion article, but I don't think one should just pluck ancient articles up and make like you found something with his Super Awesome Article Hunting Skills. - Laughto, on 11/21/2008, -0/+11Digg is not news. It's a collection of things from the internet that entertain or interest people who submit or digg them. Know this and be at peace.
- synergye, on 11/21/2008, -2/+12what the ***** does "their father of lies" mean?
- B3000, on 11/21/2008, -0/+9Something above your comprehension level apparently.
- MakiMaki, on 11/21/2008, -9/+17I ONLY just read this YESTERDAY while browsing the Onion. Thought it cool and submitted it. That's all. Your sarcasm is unnecessary.
I don't give a damn about the date but apparently some people are so hung up on hating it no matter what instead of actually looking at the content... which is 'timeless' most of the time anyway. Hell I'm sure some people might not have seen it too, not everyone is a hardcore Onion news expert or print subscriber. Some only started reading the Onion last year for ***** sake.
Bury all you want, I don't care. It is your right and editorial vote. Just wanted to share my POV. - TMTurtle, on 11/21/2008, -2/+9Satan.
Apparently atheists are satanists. I didn't know this. - rpelayo, on 11/21/2008, -1/+8Oh my god Stevanoski, you are so right about God. You have healed my heathen atheist ways. Thanks to you I have seen the light.
Oh, and I dugg you down. - groo68, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6When they use lowercase it means that they don't know grammar, there is no deeper meaning.
- DarkBlueAnt, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6Wow. I haven't seen this in forever. I'm happy to see it again though.
- donkevin, on 11/21/2008, -1/+7Who cares? Just enjoy it.
- donkevin, on 11/21/2008, -1/+7No, because your dog's name isn't dog. If it were, you would call him Dog.
- groo68, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5When they were able to use that 8th cell on the cell processor that is supposed to be turned off.
- weebs, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5Sounds like God hit "no" on your sense of humor.
- TMTurtle, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5Why would someone submit an article over seven years old? Christ.
- superterrorizer, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4So what you're saying is: We should build a space helicopter.
- DragonForce4, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4god is 18 now
- coyote1284, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4When people stopped recognizing satire.
- mercury4k, on 11/21/2008, -2/+6God is just a n00b.
- B3000, on 11/21/2008, -1/+5Yeah, I was going to say something about how this is eight years old, but it looks like that might get me buried, so I guess I won't.
- CrushThemTorg, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4I woke up with a clown's hands in my pants. That's what I did today.
- MikeXpop, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3If I recall correctly, this was published after the Tanker Demo was released in ZOE. Nobody knew at that time that Raiden would be introduced.
- volacide, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3I've read this many times before but it can have a very different connotation now versus then. Particularly with this comment, "Why will the Lord not grant me my final rest?" You could almost look at it as if God if Kojima and how he just won't let Snake die. Although it's also kind of funny since this one uses a picture from Metal Gear Solid 2 where Kojima took us away from Snake. Either way, I think I'm reading too much into it but it's still interesting and hilarious.
- Fishn2, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3Pft, you'll never get that Big Boss medallion using continues.
- Knowltey, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3It took that long to get here.
- santiago1, on 11/21/2008, -4/+7 Somebody needs a hug
- santiago1, on 11/21/2008, -1/+4 Some serious PMS around here today.....
- volacide, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2Even more interesting wouldn't you say?
- FredFredrickson, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Because it's funny.
- ergobliss, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2you people are cracking me up more than the onion article. yes it's old but so what? it's kinda nostalgic. get over it.
oh and no one gives a ***** if you're atheist, at least i don't. - inactive, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2Dugg for MGS and Onion.
- PennFarmer, on 11/21/2008, -5/+7I'm with Maki. I'm also not a Digg super user, so even things that have been on Digg before (and recently) are frequently new for me. If enough people like it to get it to the front page, then who cares when it was originally done.
- captainanndor, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3Depends on the context.
In a polytheistic setting, it's a regular noun. Like the Roman gods. I dunno, maybe it's still supposed to be capitalized there. Zeus is a god. I feel fine with a lower case G.
In a monotheistic context, though, it's a proper noun, like h4sh1sh said. So if I'm talking about Christianity, it's just the one guy, God. That and I was raised Catholic for a large chunk of my childhood, and even when I'm being pissy and feeling anti-religion, I still feel awkward not capitalizing the G, even though I've drifted away from organized religion (though not into atheism).
Or possibly because you touch yourself at night. One of the two. - inactive, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3Why does Stevanoski have to ruin our fun by making idiotic comments that have nothing, whatsoever to do with the article at hand?
- CoreyTamas, on 11/21/2008, -3/+4Ok. Good to hear a differing opinion on that. I'll give it some thought. Thanks.
- ry4nsm1th, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1Big Boss wasn't a little bitch about it.
- TheOneTrueGod, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1Yeah, but I'm getting the hang on this. Soon to Minus it up a bit.
- EarlOfLade, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2I don't read The Onion on a regular basis, so the article was very welcome and very funny! Thanks!
Just because something was not published within the last hour, doesn't mean it can't be submitted and enjoyed by us regular Joe's. I am sure I'm not alone in not having read it before. - OriginalPinkDog, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Old as hell, but still funny.
- UndeadZmobie, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1"What?! You young whippersnappers!"
"I snapped plenty of whips in MY time!" - styx31989, on 11/22/2008, -1/+2you just failed so hard, Stevanoski.
- TheOneTrueGod, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1But I do, damned.
- captainanndor, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2Anyone who does not follow "God" in the exact same way Stevanoski follows "God" is a god-less heathen which means they worship the devil.
So even if you're not an atheist, you're still a satanist if you're not the same specialized branch of religion. - Laughto, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1One must imagine Siphysus happy
- AEnkryption, on 11/22/2008, -0/+0Can I have some of whatever you have?
