When people point fingers to death and destruction in the name of religion it isn’t slamming another’s religion.

The religion is slamming itself.

Wow – from a digg question this has become a religous quasi-war. How amazing. with over 200 replies you should be able to take this to the digg boys and ask for an explanation.

Now I don’t care who’s religion but when someone is slamming another’s religion – it sucks. Man that suck real bad.

Let people believe what they want to believe. And when someone starts to point fingers to some general group as the source of all evil then start looking at who is point because that dude’s no good.

Now did anyone hear back from Digg about this issue? Cos while we’re all embroiled in the religion bashing the topic was Digg…

LGF sucks ass. Quit your bitchin the search for victimhood is pathetic. Maybe people bury it cos its crap. Comparing it to book burning just shows how sad the lizards are.

These attacks on LGF are spurious.

Webster’s Dictionary is not a “hate” publication because it includes the “N” word.

The Highway Patrol is not responsible that some people speed.

Charles is not responsible for the rare bigoted comment that appears on his blog. He clearly sets a higher standard and holds his members to it.

Either hold all blogs to the same standard (which puts LGF low for bigotry and inaccuracy), or acknowledge your bias; you have made the decision to oppose conservative thought and attack anyone that opposes your agenda.

This discussion reminds me of Orwell’s “Animal Farm”. All opinions are equal…except that some are more equal than others. If you haven’t read it yet, please do; then compare the characters’ behavior to your own, and perhaps you’ll learn something.

The longer digg allows this abuse of their system to persist, the more credibility they will lose.

The whole point of Digg would seem to be “let people read it and react to it” regardless of content. People can read a pro-Hitler paper and disagree with every point made. Taking it off their plate is paternalistic and weak. It kills dialogue before it even has a chance to start.

Digg frequently hides stories -- especially anti-Digg stories. For example, this one was on the front page briefly (see the Digg entry here, where it still has 164 diggs), then disappeared entirely off the popular pages. You get what you pay for. Digg is free. And it's about worth that much. Some interesting stuff there, yeah ... but it only has the illusion of being directed by users.
