While the rest of human kind evolved from “slime”, Ray Comfort apparently stayed behind
Ray Comfort links to this video, with the headline “Who Says God Doesn’t do Miracles for Amputees?”
I… I barely have words for what I feel about people like him. Not to mention that he’s completely ignoring all the men and women who’ve worked hard, and dedicated their lives, to create the mere possibility for this man to even walk again, least of all run in the paralympics, but he’s actively giving praise to the very same God that took his leg away in the first place! That’s right, if man doesn’t deserve the credit for making the prosthetic leg that will allow an amputated person to walk again, then God sure as hell won’t escape responsibility for allowing that man to lose his leg in the first place! Jesus didn’t save his life, he and his fellow soldiers did that. Jesus couldn’t even care enough to stop the exploding IED from ripping his leg off.
It’s not that someone praises God for supposedly performing what they call a “miracle” that irks me, it’s their contempt for other human beings to the point that they will gladly deny them any recognition whatsoever for the good deeds that they do. In their twisted heads and minds, since good deeds doesn’t get you into heaven, doing good is a disgusting act and a waste of time that could instead be spent praying. These are the people that will thank the “lord” for the dinner that the people working minimum wage in the back prepared for them. These are the people that will thank Jesus for the medicines that scientists and doctors helped create. These are the people that will call it a “miracle” that one person survived a plane crash where 200 other people died, children included.
These people are, to me, the lowest possible form of humanity – and I use the term “humanity” very loosely here, because I have my doubts that they are, in fact, part of it at all.
Now, realizing that I’m very angry and emotional at this point, I want to send out an apology to the many, the majority, of Christians that don’t share this view with Ray Comfort and his perverted followers. I am not blaming this on you, nor the religion of Christianity. This is personal. This is the result of demented, sick individuals that desperately need expert help in order to continue living with the rest of society. While you and I might disagree on a lot of things, rest assured that I reserve these amounts of hatred and disgust for those that truly deserve it.
