The Words "Ray Comfort" Mean ...


... nothing more than "moron."

The evidence:

One in four professors in U.S. colleges and universities is either atheist or agnostic, and they are corrupting our youth. When Richard Dawkins visited an Oklahoma University earlier this year, he told adoring students, 'Evolution is a scientific fact, as secularly established as any fact known in science.' But that's just not true. Evolution is a theory and the word 'theory' means nothing more than 'speculation' or 'conjecture.'

It's clearly only a "theory," in Comfort's sense, that he has a brain at all.

Dawkins wrote:

It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that).I would argue that you do not usually become wealthy and successful just by being "ignorant, stupid or insane", so when populist religious figures do just that, it only leaves...
 
There seems to be a problem with the formatting of these posts. I'm entering spaces between quoted text and my comments but they are disappearing when posted

Yeah, Blogger's done something stupid again. I've found that, if you leave the final punctuation mark outside the emphasis html marks, it will then keep the paragraph spacing.
 
I think "secularly" in your Dawkins quote should be "securely"

Definitely. But that's what it was in the original and another reason why it's so stupid.
 
I think the "Ray Comfort" in your title should be "monkey man". (He looks a lot like a monkey man from the photograph.)
 
My theory is that Comfort is a moron...
 
I love the quote in the "article" where they are quoting Atheists: "Hugs and big wet sloppy kisses in a manner completely out of character for an evil sinning atheist like me." Maybe the "Atheist" should have included some sort of <sarcasm> tagging on the quote? Just a thought.

Only a moron wouldn't be able to fill in the sarcasm tag. Since we are talking about Comfort here, I can only assume the commenter thought it would be funny if Comfort seized on and publicized the snark unwittingly (choice of term deliberate).

So, believers have a 3:1 advantage over unbelievers and the unbelievers are winning the battle for influence. Damn, the theists can't even win when they have a significant majority.
