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.
Religious fundamentalism is a major source of todays problems. From creationism to Islam, they promote stupidity, ignorance , and violence. They are a scourge on our species and religions should be forgotten.
The Stupid Family
I’m teaching my daughters to get used to feeling stupid.
During a recent visit to the Griffith Observatory we engaged in a game called “Find the lie.” As we experienced the many wonderful displays revealing God’s creation in the cosmos we also read some of the theories that pass for “science.”
“Girls,” I said excitedly, as we looked at the Supernova display, “find the lie!”
They replied, “Hydrogen and helium are the two most abundant elements. They were made in the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago.”
“Very good!!” I affirmed. “Read the other lie, too.”
“Our bodies are made of elements that came from stars that died as supernovae.”
A mother with a teenaged daughter overheard our conversations and whispered something. The daughter gave a knowing smile toward the stupid family.
"Darwin’s idea × billions of years × 0 (chance of actually happening) = 0."
TRANSCRIPT:
"So your little son starts to act a little girlish when he is four years old and instead of squashing that like a cockroach and saying, "Man up, son, get that dress off you and get outside and dig a ditch, because that is what boys do," you get out the camera and you start taking pictures of Johnny acting like a female and then you upload it to YouTube and everybody laughs about it and the next thing you know, this dude, this kid is acting out childhood fantasies that should have been squashed.
Can I make it any clearer? Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male. And when your daughter starts acting to Butch you reign her in. And you say, "Oh, no, sweetheart. You can play sports. Play them to the glory of God. But sometimes you are going to act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl and that means you are going to be beautiful. You are going to be attractive. You are going to dress yourself up."You say, "Can I take charge like that as a parent?"Yeah, you can. You are authorized. I just gave you a special dispensation this morning to do that."
I completely wiped all mention of one particular unbeliever and all his comments because of his persistent surliness.That would be me. Wow. To resort to the drastic measure of deleting ALL of my replies to him? Talk about a blatant lie right there. That is the lie of omission.
Also, when there is a constant refrain that I’m lying, I will delete it. I don’t lie.
"...what is happening in the church today is exactly what the atheists want to see happen. The atheists know that if they can get Christians to compromise God’s Word in Genesis, eventually there will be a generational decline in the acceptance of the authority of all of God’s Word."Is this really a bad thing? Ken knows that evolution is a reality. He knows there was no global flood. he has been corrected countless times about the lies he spreads. But Ken doesn't really care. Why? Ken is not really a fundamentalist christian. The fundamentalist is his mark, his cash cow.
But here is the encouraging part:As you can see, these are all products that Ken sells or helps him sell his product. He closes his letter with several requests for donations as well. Clearly Ken is in this for the money and method of income is to spread the madness of young earth creationism.

What in the world is going on here??
Richard made an unsupported claim that was clearly BOGUS. When called out on it he ducked and dodged and spun to ignore the fact that he made a bogus claim. He even threw out a red herring that the NYT is not to be trusted because it made a mistake SIX decades ago!! Likely everyone who was a part of that screw up is dead by now!
I am going to say it. Richard, a person you call “Righteous” and whom you have allowed to moderate comments here, LIED. Because you preach with him and have allowed him to moderate here, his lie reflects on you, Steve. And now you are censoring the fact we have caught him in a lie??? You are now a willing part of his deception!
Is this the sort of face you want to present with your ministry? I have lost ALL respect for you, Steve. You are a dishonest coward.
I am sure you will not have the courage to allow this post, but it has been posted and preserved at Smrt.
"Steve, I watched this movie a few weeks ago. I am simply not convinced. The whole argument is based on the flawed premise that a clump of cells is a human being. By that rational, a finger when chopped off, is a human being. Cells does not a human make. Humans have a personality and consciousness. A fetus hasn't had and of those things. What does bother me the most in this video is how badly the education system has failed these people. Lack of historical knowledge and very very poor critical thinking skills."

"This will be my last comment on the blog until Steve posts my comment in its original, unedited form or deletes the hack job he did.
Unlike Ray and the others, I thought you might have been a better person, Steve. But I now see the frightened person you really are. Makes me sad, Steve."

"I feel sorry for all the mothers who were forced to make that decision. I do not understand why you would want to take that decision away, when by the same logic your deity kills far more than abortion through miscarriages."
