An atheist vs. Ray Comfort at the HB pier

Post by wautd »

Just to share

Link to youtube

Offcourse, Ray Comfort crashes and burns like always, but I also learned some good arguments from the atheist (eg. about washing hands) so it's quite an enjoyable watch.

May I have some snake oil with my salvation, Mr. Comfort?

God, what a pathetic individual.

I'd take his money. I'd just lie about everything till he conceded I was good and handed over the money.

Typical fundy. Just repeat the preaching in response to questions, even though it doesn't address the question.

Ray Comfort: The King of Circular Reasoning!

He always does this, every answer he gave had the underlying assumption that the Bible is correct about everything. He gave no independent answers that do not rely on the Bible being divinely inspired. It is easily one of the most blatant examples of circular reasoning I've ever seen.

He also did this with Kirk Cameron in their "Bibleless" debate with two atheists. They claimed to be able to argue God's existence without needing the Bible, and then structured their whole argument around the 10 commandments. :roll:

Damn. After all these years he's still using the "you are not a good person" ad-hominem argument.

Does anyone else find it difficult to watch these atheist vs. theist videos? It's so fucking frustrating that I rarely watch through to the end. I mean, people actually cheered when Comfort said "look around at the blue sky and grass, etc", as if that proves the supernatural... New Zealand is a better place without him.

Someone on this forum once said that the worst part of been smart is realizing just how stupid general population really is.

The very tought that the Bible is wrong is totally unconceivable for this kind of peple, so when you ask for an explanation they will simply start quoting the Bible as if it was the absolute thruth because for them it really is... They are programmed from childhodd not to question anything the Bible says and to believe in it as an absolute thruth. That is why this moron keeps quoting the Bible as if it proves anything. Pretty anoying, but you start to ignore it after a while.

By the way, if you want to see this guy seriously screw up look in Youtube for the Banana Argument.

"So why should I believe in your god instead of the thousand, million others out there?"

"Ok look, the first commandment says thou shall have no god but me!..."

It all comes back to that, doesn't it? :roll:

Yes, Zablorg, fundies invariably engage in circular logic. In other news, they're complete morons as well.
