10 questions that every intelligent Christian must answer

TheBlueRaja · 25-04-2007, 16:11

Now, even though this could be seen as Russ bait of the highest magnitude im not going to say anything other than this is worth a watch by all "us" non believers out there too!

Linky...

How can it be deemed as Russ bait?

Russ has an irrational phobia of answering direct questions with direct answers

Maybe that's why Chris T normally answers for him

Russ is obviously just a Christian apprentice, whereas Chris is clearly a seasoned master.

Much like the Sith.

Actually, he does sometimes answer direct questions with direct answers. That you don't necessarily like the answers is your business, but doesn't mean he hasn't answered them.

As to the video. Well, while I don't believe in a God, and am certainly not a Christian, I'd just like to point out a couple of things:

1) The video was a complete load of tripe, and a waste of nearly 11 minutes.
2) The guy that wrote it is a complete ****, and is, in my view, as bad as any fundamentalist religious person.

Oh, I dunno - seeking enlightenment by the guidance of a higher 'other' sounds more like Jedi to me

Christian Apprentice? Now that would be a good show. At the end of it you all go into the boardroom and if your bad deeds outweigh your good ones, a booming godlike voice says....."You're Fried"

Just listened to the recording. It was patronising, and the repetition of 'because God is imaginary' was grating, but his questions were valid and he does have a point imo.

Thanks for that update, rather glad I can't watch it from work now

Saved me 11 minutes.

Could someone list the questions?

Well, while I was a little blunt, the video almost did persuade me to convert to Christianity purely so I could say I didn't believe the same things as the writer..

Jules · 25-04-2007, 16:58

Made perfect sense to me but as a long term atheist it would

Afraid I was in serious danger of being sick over the monitor, his simpering nasally little voice was just to much, I only got to number 2

1. Why doesn't God answer amputee's prayers and make their limb's grow back?

2. Why does God allow children to starve to death but you expect him to answer your prayers and give you a raise?

Haven't watched the video (URL filtering at work) but I'd be interested to hear your reasons why, in your opinion

1) the video was a complete load of tripe; and
2) the guy that wrote it is a complete ****.

Will try to remember to watch it at home tonight, although there's a footy match on which is much more interesting than religious GooTube videos.
