I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Attack you master kebot? Why are you the DEMON? I understand. You are opposite of The Christ.

The only reliable product of an organized religion is a flock of hypocrites who feel that only their hypocrisy is divinely sanctioned.

I love these questions that every Intelligent Christian must answer!

I hope Intelligent Chrsitians like kebot, bungot 25 and rcruman can answer these 10 SIMPLE QUESTIONS!

Who wants to answer these 10 SIMPLE QUESTIONS?

No Guy in the Sky: 10 questions that every intelligent Christian must answer

The questions are as follows:

1. Why won’t god heal amputees? There are cases where people claim to have been healed by miracles. One can’t help but to notice that these are in almost every case things that might just have got better anyway.

BTW, I don't believe in the Anthropomorphic GOD of the Literalist Christians but I know there is a GOD which is UNKNOWABLE that is beyond belief in the BIBLE!

I'm not an intelligent christian.
Still, I want to answer this question from my own point of view.

Because He made them that way at the first place--
as punishment for being a thief or a snatcher (or any other reasons).
They abused the use of their arms and legs (in their previous life)
or the used it for doing bad things,
that is why it is taken away from them in this life.

I'm reminded of the sight of an amputee in San Nicholas, Pasil who sits on an eskenita there.
His job is, actually, to stop any person who chase snatchers escaping in his direction.

This is a clear sign that he never learned his lesson.
His sons are snatchers too.
He was shot dead in that corner.

and those born with missing limbs?

No Guy in the Sky: 10 questions that every intelligent Christian must answer

The questions are as follows:

1. Why won’t god heal amputees? There are cases where people claim to have been healed by miracles. One can’t help but to notice that these are in almost every case things that might just have got better anyway.
2. Why are there so many starving people in our world? If you propound that God listens to you and answers your prayers, how can you believe that he answered your prayers for a raise and yet allows millions to die from starvation and disease?
3. Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the bible? There are probably more than you realize - the demands listed in the post (to kill anyone who works on the sabbath day, homosexuals, girls that are not virgins when they marry etc.) just scratch the surface. And ‘the bible corrects itself elsewhere’ isn’t a defence; how can you full heartedly trust something that contradicts itself?
4. Why does the bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? Such as the idea that the universe is only a couple of thousand years old, that Jonah lived inside a whale for 3 days etc.
5. Why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the bible? The post includes examples of how ’slaves should obey their masters as they would obey Christ’, amongst others. Personally I would substitute this one for something else. Perhaps ‘why is God so jealous and unforgiving in the old testament?’
6. Why do bad things happen to good people? Such as their deaths in painful ways. If they are going to meet God anyway, why deprive them of their lives?
7. Why didn’t any of Jesus’ miracles in the bible leave behind any evidence? It’s quite strange. All we really have is a book compiled 200 years after his death, written mostly by people who never met him.
8. How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? If he’s all-powerful and timeless, why wait for a second-coming?
9. Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? If you actually consider this for a second, it sounds more Satanic than Christian. And no, if you are Catholic as opposed to a derivative such as an Anglican, you believe that you are really consuming Jesus’ flesh and blood.
10. Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians? “What God has put together, let no man put asunder”. But it happens regardless.

This Answer is to address the bible issues:
Consider this, if you pour Sterile/Pure Water into a garbage can. do you still consider the water clean? the same is true for the word of God. The Message is pure but the vessel is tainted, thus the message gets twisted up by these less than perfect humans that have received it.
It is said that God often talk to his prophets in the form of dreams, and dreams as we perceive it can be interpreted differently.


To address "Why do Christians divorce at the same rate as Non-Christians?"

Its Simple, because people are people.

How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you?

What!? he's never appeared to you? OMG! I see him everyday! he's the patient I take care of when I'm at work. The beggar in the streets that I ignore. The parent who calls me up to say "stop playing dota and come home" he's even the one that stares right back at me when I look in the mirror. I dont believe you haven't met him before. LIAR!

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Why do good things happen to bad people? why is the sky blue? why are leaves green? Because Shit happens! get over it.

what about the accidental amputees?
and those born with missing limbs?

Sometimes we need others to see how lucky we are.

We all have our roles to play, you(we) may have complete set of limbs but you(we) are an amputee
in one form or another. Seeing Each others incompleteness makes us appreciate what we have.
