That Atheist Blog

1. Why won't God heal amputees? - he does
2. Why are there so many starving people in our world? - because there are many more selfish greedy people in the world
3. Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the bible? - no one is innocent
4. Why does the bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? - the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of man. The world is upside down
5. Why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the bible? - We are enslaved only by our own foolish desires.
6. Why do bad things happen to good people? - the rain falls on the wicked and the just alike
7. Why didn't any of Jesus' miracles in the bible leave behind any evidence? wherever our focus is that is what we will see, often at the expense of being blinded to even obvious things.
8. How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? this is not a fact
9. Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? not literally but symbolically for oneness.
10. Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians? no one is perfect, not one, the only difference between a sinner and a saint is a saint (in faith) believes God will make them right with himself. Abraham's faith was accredited to him as righteousness.

eeesh retyping my comment - stupid auto correct! @TK you are the first person to be brave enough to voice your very well thought out opinion. I have gotten several emails though. Thank you for those excellent points. Well spoken as usual.

@Viv - I don't believe TK meant he really believed God regenerated the limbs of amputees. I'm not going to speak for him but let me stress, he's a very intelligent guy. If you have answers, send 'em on in - I'd love to see whatever you think.

INCREDIBLE DYNAMICS!!!
STimulaing,,,get's me going. Dear Jolynn, I have had the answers to these questions for so long but I could not get the dialogue....or rather the questions asked!
I just didn't have the questions and do you know how hard it is to maintain perspective and try on new ones at the same time and then do this consistently?
Hopefully you don't think I sound confused but the fact is THIS video is going to be played and played
because -chile - the dynamics, the between meanings in the asking of the questions, not even the answers holds the key to SO much of what I am working on right now.
I feel like I've discovered gold...but it's you Jolynn.....you got me golden babeh!

Thanks and thats forever. This is going to book.

PS Love JoLynn NOW!

@Chaos - we will have to have a long chat very soon - I have a lot to show you and want to hear more about what you're working on! Big lurve!

I got an email from someone that said the post comment function wasn't working for her - so here you go - from Carol -I have to chime in here. Not one Christian can answer these questions without "high speak" which is just avoiding the question and it is because it would entail a Christian look at their religious dogma with a critical eye and their fake faith won't pass the scrutiny.
I have to take on this first answer by "T K" because it proves my point.

God has never regenerated a limb for an amputee. This is sheer avoidance of the question. It will be interesting to see if one Christian can answer even one of these questions objectively.

@Douglas I truly admire your passion, I do. And you are a beautiful soul.
But I have done my research and religion isn't for me. I don't want it - I don't need it. How do you feel about other religions? What's your take on Islam or Buddhism for example?

@Douglas - take 10 minutes and watch this clip : http://youtu.be/ljRKhZ81aqY I'd be interested to know what you think.

@you know who you are - I really don't mind you writing me and voicing your opinions, however - if you're just going to complain that no Christians are addressing the 10 questions to your satisfaction, well you have complaining confused with conversation.

just came across this & im gonna give u my answers 1. Why won't God heal amputees? - he does but wont heal all he uses drs. god gave all of us a job to do he uses a drs hand also doesnt heal all because if he did people would take his miracle for granted come on when your kids want somin do you just give it to them? no god is our father also allows people to use their testomony as a story of god can heal 2. Why are there so many starving people in our world? - because people only see what they chose to what someone sees as a drunkard so he deseverves that he god sees a man that needs help people are so wrapped up in their own life they dont see it think bout it why does a child send teddy bears to hospitals for kids but adults over look it & never thought of it god says that kids will enhirit the kingdom so were supoose to be like kids in open eyes 3. Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the bible? - no one is innocent all have fallen short of the glory also he says innocent people who dont know are not held accountable so there is no progragotory for babies like some not all catholic believe its called age of innonces its not a certain age but when you know right from wrong and can make the choice to do wrong 4. Why does the bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? - because science doesnt have all the answers people learn by trial & error if science had all the answers there wouldnt be aids 5. Why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the bible? - We are enslaved only by our own foolish desires. also no no out of context if you owed a debit this is old testiment you did work for a certain amount of time plus every 7 years ur debit was whipped clean still goes on today u had a choice when it was up they couldnt collect no more you had a choice to stay in their home u got ur ears pierced which meant u belong to someone thats why certain christians dont get their ears piercerd also old testiment said no piercings or markings on your body 6. Why do bad things happen to good people? - builds character same reason you dont spoil kids so that one day when its time you can grow & do what needs to be done also allows them to know hes there most people go 2 him when things are bad they dont reach out for him hes our father you suppose to want to know him 7. Why didn't any of Jesus' miracles in the bible leave behind any evidence? not sure maybe people dont want to believe & prove it away by science 8. How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? this is not a fact you know it in your heart what causes me to fell him wont be someone else reason for feeling him also bible says all different religions will be in heaven so he sayin dont look at religion but me like people who see and fell spirits how they know thats what they felt they just know its called faith 9. Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? not literally but symbolically for oneness. no no thats a catholic belief the bible is this its a reminder of him dieng on the cross for our sins bc hes perfect we had sin he couldnt condome it so he sent his perfect son who chose bc in gethemicity he asked god father is there a different way but your will be done jesus was gods son in human form 10. Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians? no one is perfect, not one, god doesnt want that marriage was not made for that people are human make mistakes god allows divorce on the case of cheatin or a husband that is not a believer people dont always listen to god or the people he puts in their life that tell they it aint right like u tell ur kid odnt do something like dont date him they dont listen then the heartache comes later its the same reason were not perfect & we shouldnt act like that
also real christian should have no problem answering this because theyu would use you a none beliver to see their is a god im christian i believe whats right for me and acxcept other peoples belief

@Melissa - awesome answers!~ I love your take on the questions and I'm seeing things from yet another excellent point of view. Thank you. :)

i answered those questions but the one that kept me up thinkin bout was the ampteess i believe this a lot of christians will hate this answer but its what god told me he allowed cloning to be found it works heres what i believe on it i dont believe in making an exact clone of someone but clone of a persons body part and put it on them im like you i love hearing all points of views i love all religions i dont agree with everyones beliefs but i respect it and i ask questions lol im christian but was raised catholic i have a jewish aunt & cousin i have talked to muslims and asked about their beliefs i was lucky went to a very mixed high school and i fell a christians job is to be christ like which is what the term christian means if you know your bible jesus was a jew to many people over look that and he accepted all people religions he loves us just the way we are. plus were taught not to judge others. my uncle is athesist i believe is the word he believes in no god so im very understanding and open minded i have to be. i hope that helps a lil bit

For the record this isn't a riddle, no magic, no political bobbing and weaving, no rocket science, head on, and straight to the point - take it at face value or leave it. : )

@TK - people seem to forget in this arena - there are no wrong answers. Opinions from all sides are valued and wanted :)

@Melissa - I love your comment. You don't have to agree with my line of thinking which would be in line with your uncle's and that's the beauty of it. I love hearing from other people. I have a very committed Christian friend and I put the amputee question to her, she told me she thought deeply (it's like praying but not, she personally considers praying rude to God) and she said she received a vision that God will allow science to learn to regenerate amputees, much like what you've discussed with the cloning I'm assuming.

i think so see even christians see things differently because in the bible judas i believe i aint sure so dont no one get angry bout it lol but he asks god how do we pray he taught them our father prayer which teaches us how to pray its a mode meaning ur suppose to pray to god or talk to him and put yourself last to pray for others first then you hay you never know see that proves there is some kind of god lol ill take that as proff i dont know her she dont know me & we both saw or thought the same thing i believe this when its your time god will find you when u & him are ready i got a question do you have kids? if not maybe thats when god will find you who knows maybe youll never find him but as long as you have peace thats all that matters to me

@Melissa - yes I have 2 children - 1 is leaving for college - they are amazing and beautiful. I have had peace for a long time :)

do any of them practice a religion? i want this to come out right im not judgin but bc its on computer can come out sounding wrong god may use them to reach you when they find him see what i hate in religion i have a godson according to the catholic church i was honest that i was raised catholic but im christian now i had to prove to them i was good enough way more than someone who hasnt been in church a long time yes i havent been to church in a while but everything they asked my answers were scruniated looked at way more then the next person like because im not catholic im gonna go against the decision of what religion she was gonna bring her up. i support her & those decisions she makes im just blessed she found me to be good enough to be his godmother. what you should do a blog on is the condictions of the catholic church if you christian you suppose to follow the biblke not add or take away from it but they twist & turn it to fit their beliefs commiun is done wrong confession is done wrong prayin to saints i can go on all day not sayin hate catholics i believe this if you found god all good for you but tolerance needs to be taught & the right to state opions on what u believe without someone comin down on u the world would b a better place

@melissa - I would never accuse you of judging. My kids have been raised to know about the basics of the major sects of Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Paganism and more. All were taught as literature and not a "religion" because that's how I view the bible. I've raised my children to be open minded and tolerant and never judge another person by their beliefs.

see alot of people do this & i hate this they forget to think hay its ok to teach religion & different beliefs to their kids & let them make their own mind up. ill be honest only thing i cant accept is the black magic or anyone that believes a religion that teaches how to hurt somone else as a religion i hate people who say god told me to do.. if its hurtful to others how is it god? god teaches us how to be a better person & help others not tear em down. i wont judge em but id be weary of them.

What religion teaches how to hurt someone as a religion? I can't think of a single one.

the one where you put spells on people black magic lugie board amybe its how people uses it my friend used to talk how she could put spells on people to do what she wanted i couldnt understand it

I am thinking she probably meant Voodoo or a corrupted version actually. Sort of like Santaria. True Voodoo (Voudou) has a supreme being that does not intercede in human affairs and the celebrate the dead and protection against evil is a large part of it. Ouija boards aren't a tenant of any religion but rather something for the curious. There's an electronic version called the Ovulis that people use to supposedly communicate with spirits.

@Carol - I deleted your comment because as flaming bibles aren't allowed to be thrown on my blog- dissolving into calling a believer names is just as heinous. You don't have to agree with TK or anyone else but RESPECT is a must.

Hi Karasiwo - when your blogs show up in my news feed because we have a mutual interest I'll be happy to visit them. But don't go around spamming up peeps blogs with requests for visits - that's not how you make money on FanBox or good community behavior.
