Ray Comfort caught lying again???

It seems that Ray has been editing videos to to make people appear to be answering questions they were not really asked. 

This is really despicable behavior but really not unexpected. 

Helen Keller was born blind and deaf??

A great loss.... Christopher Hitchens dead at 62.

RIP Christopher Hitchens - greatest literary provocateur of my lifetime. Huge talent, huge loss

And to you christians, like Ray and Steve and Tony... 

Be respectful and not the ghouls you usually are. 

Brain failure and the Christian....

Ray Dumfort wrote the other day about how the human heart supposedly proves god because we can't yet duplicate it.

But once again Dumfort is a plagiarist and a LIAR. His entire post is stolen from a MUSLIM site. http://www.harunyahya.com/books/science/biomimetics/biomimetics07.php

So, Ray is now a muslim???

Ray, you are a fucking idiot. You can't prove your god with your own religion so you steal from someone else's?  Why doesn't that shock me?

Ray Comfort, about a year ago, was crowing about how great his god was when he "saved" the 33 miners trapped underground in Chile. 

It seems his god forgot about those poor miners. 60 Minutes did a show on them tonight and they are in BAD shape. All are suffering from mental illness, nightmares, insomnia, panic attacks, etc.

"Alex Vega can't explain why he's doing it, but he's building a wall around his house.

"Whenever I hear a noise, I get scared and look all around me. My heart beats faster. I can't go into small spaces. I'm taking five or six pills a day now. If I don't take them, I wouldn't even be able to sit with you," Vega said"

"I'm an underground mining mechanic. That's what I do and I won't be able to do it anymore," Vega replied.

Asked what he wants to do, Vega said, "I've tried to work fixing a car. But I lose my concentration very quickly. I forget things. Right now, I don't know what's gonna happen with my future."

And Victor Zamora? He walked with us to the mine. It was his first time back since the accident. He told us he feels he still hasn't been rescued.

"Before I went in here, I was a happy guy. But now, I'm having nightmares, I'm having problems. I'm not the same person," Zamora told Simon.

Asked what kind of nightmares he is having, Zamora said, "Being trapped, watching my friends around me die. Rocks falling. The other me is still in there."

"Do you miss him?" Simon asked.

Zamora nods. "I can't have a normal relationship with my family...I'm not as affectionate with my child as I was before. It's very difficult," he replied.

"What's it like just looking at this place now?" Simon asked.

"Sadness, lots of sadness. I'd prefer to be dead," he replied.

Where is your God now, Ray??

Something to watch for with some fundies....

Fundies like Dumbass Comfort and his ilk love to change the meaning of words. For instance, the word "good" in Comforteese is redefined as "perfect".  "Evolution" is redefined to include the big bang, abiogenesis, and proof requirements for evolution that if true, would actually disprove evolution.

Another favorite is "faith" = "trust". This is not so. Trust is earned and based on a track record. Faith is given blindly and in spite of evidence.

These word games can trip you up if you don't watch out for them.

Comfort the hypocrite.....

Ray offers this bit on Sunday.....

Atheists Cashing in on the Rapture

Regarding the stupidity of predicting the rapture, Richard Dawkins said, 

"An aspect of religion that intrigues me is its capacity to con money out of a seemingly endless supply of gullible idiots. Is there anything so stupid that, if you put it out there, you can't find thousands of people (and their money) to believe it." 

And those who believe what the professor says can buy his books, DVD's, trinkets, T-shirts, etc., from his website. There is an endless supply who do.

Ray Comfort, who's "ministry" pays him a very comfortable 6 figure salary each year.
Here is a sample of the shit Ray sells:


Now, who is out to make money?

Ray, is a first class fucking hypocrite. 

Ray's instructions on how to become an atheist....

How to Become an Atheist

"There are two main hard and fast rules for anyone who would like to become an "atheist." If you are tempted, beware. It's not an easy thing to do. 

The first rule is to ignore design in nature. You will see it everywhere; from the planets, to the atoms, to the birds and the bees, to the seasons, to the design of the human body, the design of fish, flowers, fruits, feet, and even fungus. And of course, the amazing-looking human eye. Everywhere you look and everywhere you can't look, you will see design. 

Now here's the hard part. Ignore your God-given common sense. Admit that everything man made is man-made, but be uncompromisingly adamant that everything in nature came from nothing, with no Designer. Once you have set aside your acumen to do this, crown yourself as being intelligent. Very. Then find other atheists and they will confirm to you that you are indeed, intelligent. 

The second rule is to "believe." This is very important, because if you let doubt in, it will let in fear, and that can be a scary thing when the issue at stake is a place called "Hell." 

Believe that you are right in your beliefs. Believe that evolution is indeed true. Believe that it's scientific. Believe that there are no missing links, and believe that Richard Dawkins knows what he is talking about. 

Believe that you are an ape, that you are not morally responsible because apes have no moral absolutes. Believe that your conscience was given to you by your parents and society, and not by God (always use a small "g" for God, if possible). 

To grow as an atheist, you will need to learn believers' language--phrases like "There is no creation," "Evolution is a proven fact," and the powerful "Flying Spaghetti Monster." Learn the fine art of cutting and pasting, and responding with "Straw man!" That means you won't have to respond to anything challenging. 

All this will give perceived intelligence. Never question evolution, and don't think for yourself. 

Do these things, and you will be able to call yourself an atheist, or even a "new" atheist. How cool is that! Well, I should say, as much of one as you can be called one. No one can be a true atheist because you need "absolute knowledge" to say that there is no God. So until you are omniscient (like God), you will just have to do with pretending to be one. "

Wow. To be an atheist, you have to "Admit that everything man made is man-made, but be uncompromisingly adamant that everything in nature came from nothing, with no Designer."


Seriously..  WTF? 

Ray Comfort thinks slavery is nifty

In todays offering of half-baked 'wisdom', Ray Comfort redefines Roman slavery to be gentle, kind, and loving. This is true in some cases, but certainly not the vast majority.

Romans considered slavery as a type of death and slaves were never considered as human. A roman slave was not allowed to have a family. His children were the property of his dominus. It was common for a slave's head to be forcibly shaved so their hair could be made into wigs for the upper class. They had no honor nor pride. They were not protected under law and had no right to sled defense. They were not entitled to trial if charged with a crime.

Rome always have a fresh supply of slaves from nations it conquered. The vanquished were frequently condemned to slavery. A popular form of birth control in Rome was for new parents to abandon their child on the street who would be taken in as a slave by another family. Pirates would attack ships and take passengers as slaves and sell them in Rome.

The life of most Roman slaves was a nightmare. Slaves were often whipped, branded and cruelly mistreated. Their owners would also kill them for any reason, and wouldn't face any charges. Misbehaving slaves could face crucifixion.

Slaves were minimally clothed if the situation allowed. House slaves had more clothing, farm slaves just a cloth and maybe wooden shoes.

Comfort nonsensical claims the movie Ben Hur, a completely fictional work of the late 1950's, is an accurate portrayal of how well Roman slaves were treated: with great love and respect. He simply couldn't be further from reality. If he was to have the courage to watch Star's Spartacus, he would have a much better idea of how loathsome the life of a slave was.

These fatuous claims of Comfort's just further undermines any pretext of credibility when he speaks to morality.  Ray Comfort is a despicable excuse for a human being.

Ray Comfort really can't learn....

Today Dumbdumb said this:

Monday, October 18, 2010

Some time ago I quoted Steven Hawking saying that gravity was a law. I guess you didn't see it. You may deny that gravity is a law that can be broken. But if you violate its precepts and jump from 10,000 feet without a parachute you will think you are right, until you hit the ground. It's the same with the Law of God. I'm sure you will stubbornly hold onto your belief that you haven't violated it until the moment you die, but then it will be too late. Posted by Ray Comfort on 10/18/2010 06:34:00 AM 

Wow. Yeah, this is stupidity at it's finest. But I recalled we hashed this over once before. 

On 2/24/10, just 8 short months ago, Dumbdumb said this:

If you hit the ground at 120 mph from 1,000 feet, you will suffer the consequences of violating what physics.about.com calls the law of gravity. If you will remember the context in which I called gravity a law--I said that if you break the law of gravity, you will suffer the consequences, and if you violate God’s Law you will suffer the consequences--"The soul that sins, it shall die." 

 He was ROASTED over this. Falling violates the law of gravity?? WTF? 

Ray Comfort (TweedleDumb) thinks he is smarter than Steven Hawking.... How sad.

In today's offering of stupidity, Ray "TweedleDumb" Comfort thinks he is smarter than Steven Hawking. Steven said in his new book The Grand Design,

"Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist."

Funny that. Comfort thinks that his god coming from nothing is acceptable, but the universe coming from nothing isn't. Let's see. Whom should we believe?

Ray Comfort, a high school educated former surf shop owner, turned jacket maker, turned liar for jeebus

OR

a Cambridge educated professor of physics, a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years, Distinguished Research Chair at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario., 12 honorary degrees and at least 1 degree of his own, his PhD from Cambridge awarded in 1965.

Yeah.  Only a moron like Comfort would even dream he could successfully match wits with Hawking. Hawking, even though a prisoner of his wheel chair and only having use of a single facial muscle, has done far more with his life than Comfort could do in 10.

Comfort should be ashamed.

Dumbdumb does it again….. Predictably.

I today's offering of mind-numbing stupidity, Comfort once again fails to do his research and posts the following:

An ex-atheist once wrote, "You will have noticed that most dogs cannot understand pointing. You point to a bit of food on the floor; the dog, instead of looking at the floor, sniffs at your finger. A finger is a finger to him, and that is all. His world is all fact and no meaning. And in a period when factual realism is dominant we shall find people deliberately inducing upon themselves this doglike mind."  

Who was this stupid ex-atheist whom Ray holds in such high esteem? They are the words of C.S. Lewis  from The Weight of Glory



Dog's don't understand pointing?

Let's see who disagrees.

So, once again, Dumbdumb gets caught red handed not doing his homework and taking the stupid statements of others as gospel truth.

Ray Comfort is an asshole.

In today's post at the Swamp, DumbDumb (Ray Comfort) really showed his true colors. When responding to Debunkey Monkey's post of "Among biologists, paleontologists, and other professional scientists in related biological fields, over 99.5% of them said they support the theory of evolution. If you don't believe in evolution, then I suggest you read a book such as 'Evolution For Dummies' or 'The Greatest Show on Earth.' The evidence for evolution is overwhelming and unambiguous." 

Dumbdumb replied with

"Ms. Monkey, could you please give the source for your 99.5% of professional scientists in biological fields supporting evolution? That's an amazing statistic. No offense, but I think you are making it up. I will humbly apologize if you come back with a credible source. 

The reason I suspect that you made it up is because you don't seem to be familiar with the rules of evolution. You are not supposed to use the word "believe" in the same sentence as the word "evolution." This is because believe is what "believers" do. That means that they have some sort of faith. That means they are believing in something that is unseen. Which you do. Evolution is unobservable. "

Wow. Ray instantly sees something he can't see as possible so he accuses the person of LYING.

But this isn't the first time Dumbdumb opened mouth and chewed on his foot till knee this week.  In last Thursday's post A slip of the tongue… Dumbdumb responded to Mintz's comments about Giraffe's drinking methods with this rude comment:

"Mintz...There's no nice way to say this. You have no idea what you are talking about. I'm embarrassed for you."

Well, Ray, after your week of stupidity and complete lack of apologies to those you offended, I officially crown you as this weeks ASSHOLE OF THE WEEK.
