- Anliz, on 11/28/2007, -57/+154I see a pic of a church spending all of its time trying to help people, and then trying to spread a message of hope. This is the best criticism of the church you can come up with?
- sanotaan, on 11/28/2007, -5/+95seems america's joyous future also includes surprisingly good typesetting where you least expect it
- inactive, on 11/28/2007, -3/+79I go to all 7
- ashlocke, on 11/28/2007, -7/+69Criticism of the country, not the church.
Nice try though. Look, Read, Post. - solesoul, on 11/28/2007, -4/+66No
- mwalker05, on 11/28/2007, -6/+63whats ironic about a church doing good deeds and wanting to help people? isnt that sort of the point?
- tastybrains, on 11/28/2007, -0/+50This is actually a work of art. I remember seeing it on display at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art about ten years ago.
- spiritditch, on 11/28/2007, -5/+53Nothing in the picture implies criticism of the church.
- econojon, on 11/28/2007, -4/+52I immediately thought of Fight Club
- BenKenobi88, on 11/28/2007, -4/+48What the hell was that.
- ChuckIT, on 11/28/2007, -5/+42fail

- lensman00, on 11/28/2007, -3/+28I wondered for awhile why I seem to be a reasonably popular commenter (averaging maybe 9 diggs per comment), yet none of my story submissions take off. I did some research and I believe I've figured it out. You have the same problem I do.
Here's the deal in a nutshell. We have no Digg friends. It's a social networking site and a network of friends is essential to getting a story jump started with a reasonable base number of diggs. A person with an extensive friend network might see your story when they go to submit, but will be saying "no way this will ever hit the front page - he doesn't have any friends, I'm not wasting a digg on that", so instead of digging your submission they just submit their own.
Comments are more egalitarian. A little strategy about timing them helps, but an early comment on a popular story will go in front of a lot of eyes and you don't need a bunch of friends to have them dugg up (yours being a case in point).
/science - BryanJK, on 11/28/2007, -1/+24Welcome to Digg :(
- radink360, on 11/28/2007, -16/+36WTF did this make the front page? Oh i know. the poster is a hot girl who has a ton of friends.. marked as lame.
- eyelessprimate, on 11/28/2007, -5/+25Fight Club?
Evolve and let the chips fall where they may... - mwalker05, on 11/28/2007, -5/+24you are right, lets all just blame 1 man for everything thats wrong in this country. nevermind that its in fact our own fault for not taking action, for being apathetic, and for being lazy and ignorant.
- psg188, on 11/28/2007, -2/+20Yeah, this church is helping people 7 days a week. What *****.
You are the reason I hate most atheists. You intolerant jackass.
Being atheist is fine, my best friend is atheist. What you believe will happen what you die matters little to me we are all entitled to our opinion. When you are intolerant of people that are doing nothing but helping people, then it becomes asshattery. - Jeffler, on 11/28/2007, -2/+19Its like ray-ee-ayyynnn....
- bmc31190, on 11/28/2007, -1/+18How would George W. Bush be responsible for alcoholics, abused spouses, teen suicide, drug addiction, or eating disorders? We've had all that years before he came in. I agree that he's a ***** president, but these things aren't his fault.
- inactive, on 11/28/2007, -6/+20So a church spends seven days a week trying to help people with problems, and.....well.....what's exactly the problem with that?
Would it not result in a joyous future?
These people have decided to do something positive for others, and many of you here (who've never lifted a finger to help anyone) are going to ridicule them simply because you like to point and name-call. Nice. It's easy for me to see why the problems listed on that board exist when I read some of these comments. Guess who's causing problems and look at who's trying to fix them.
Buried. - Urusai, on 11/28/2007, -2/+15An atheist organization is like having a Society for Not Birdwatching. You know, where people get together and don't birdwatch; not to bash birdwatchers, or bitch about birdwatching, but to do other things.
- inactive, on 11/28/2007, -3/+15Really? The poster is a hot girl? Ok thanks for letting me know I could've made a big mistake by not digging this. Ok it's dugg now.
- heartcoldfusion, on 11/28/2007, -2/+12Prepare to be dugg down to oblivion for stating what people pretend wasn't true.
- Neuz89, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10Try starting a fight club instead
- Zetsubou, on 11/28/2007, -0/+10"Teen Suicide Watch"?! I'M THERE!
- einsteinx2, on 11/29/2007, -1/+10Dugg because my OCD demands that your comment have a +9 next to it
- ChicagoThor, on 11/29/2007, -0/+9It is still there, I saw it a few weeks ago.
- Gillfactor, on 11/28/2007, -1/+9Fridays help me a lot, but the soup on Saturdays makes me wanna kill myself all over again.
- RidiculousHat, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8Yup, it's by Erika Rothenberg.
- LopsidedZebra, on 11/29/2007, -0/+8My only...regret...is having...Bone-itis! *Gasps*
- ElMoustache, on 11/29/2007, -0/+8so you are an alcoholic, drug addicted, married and abused teenaged who needs help for suicide prevention and has an empty stomach and an eating disorder?
thats pretty rough man. good luck with that. - shaun1018, on 11/29/2007, -1/+9I'm going to start a Non-birdwatching club.
"Is that a bluejay?"
"You're out of the group." - ttamshadbolt, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7Not knocking the sign... Knocking that there has to be such a sign
- kluivertus, on 11/28/2007, -3/+10The work of art is still there. This is not a serious gesture by a church, people.
This is a work of art that does not criticize any church, but rather reflects on how America's in a ***** place. The use of a church announcement placard makes it seem like a piece of the common-place, and also how the church often has to be optimistic in a place of pain. Everyone needs to get off their high horses - davidlitts, on 11/28/2007, -2/+8I'm glad you judge us with unchristian ethics
- inactive, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6It's not real. It's art. http://erikarothenberg.com/ptgsetc/ptgs.shtml
- luckykpolice, on 11/29/2007, -1/+7You forgot "Think."
- Komgol, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6Wanna be friends?
- BlackStrain, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6... I gotta wear shades.
- mikesbaker, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6learn what irony is please
- bmc31190, on 11/28/2007, -7/+12Right up there with the christians, as long as we're making blanket statements.
- chubbstar, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5it went up to 10 but i fixed that. heh.
- enakra, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5Nothing. But then again theres nothing ironic in that song either. So he's technically right.
- adidax, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5Really? ***** man, we used to go to government forming parties all the time back in the day.
- KingGorilla, on 11/28/2007, -1/+6Jesus wouldn't say that
- inactive, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5It's all pink inside?
