Comment on Eric Hovind’s Christian Arrogance by Nathaniel

What makes you think I “hate” Christians? I absolutely think a lot of them are ignorant and sometimes downright stupid, but as far as I’m concerned, Christians are the only ones who “hate” other people (even Jesus spoke of “hating your parents”). And as for gays… I neither like nor dislike them. They are people, just like you and me. They’d have to do something particular for me to have an opinion on them as a group, but they haven’t. Read my lips: they. are. just. people.

There’s nothing wrong with my “comprehension”, but your grammar and spelling leaves much to be desired.

I’m quite satisfied with my way of life, thank you, it’s the way of life Christians choose that conflict with my way of life that I’m dissatisfied with. Again, no hate involved. I leave such extreme emotions to you.

Why does it bother you ?
Im sure you would have somthing better

If you were satisfied with your way of life,

The problem is that Christians like Ray both compare God’s law to that of man’s, and at the same time highlight the differences. The fact, in this case, is that man’s law does not punish thought crimes. It is no illegal to simply be a pedophile. Why is he making an analogy with courts of law? He’s trying to argue that pedophilia is bad enough to be punished as a criminal offense, but ignoring the fact that this does NOT apply to homosexuality. Which is correct? Should we not punish pedophilia, or SHOULD we punish homosexuality?

Simply put, Ray makes no sense at all. Not even the arguments based on the Bible make any sense. Again, why is homosexuality such a horrible sin, but pedophilia doesn’t even get a single mention? It’s all a thin veil to unsuccessfully hide his own bigotry and homophobia.

“Is Ray suggesting that civil law start punishing thought crimes?”

God punishes thought crime. Coveting is a thought based process and yet it is included in the 10 Commandments. Same with lust. It is not only the actions that condemn, but the thought.

There is a strong precedent for Christians to feel they can punish thought.

Comment on Ray Comfort’s Homophobia by Nathaniel

Well, my “friend”, you’ve got a few things backwards. First, I tolerate Ray’s beliefs, so far as to allow him to express them. I wouldn’t censor his blog even if I could, and I freely and openly defend anyone’s right to say whatever they want on the internet. That is why I don’t moderate my comments (which Ray does). So yes, I do tolerate his beliefs. I just won’t sit quiet and listen. It’s not intolerant to be critical of someone or their beliefs.

Second, I’m not “hating” anything. Ok, maybe I do hate organized religion for all the hurt and evil they represent, both in modern times and throughout history. It is due to religion, and religious beliefs alone, that people are being burned and tortured as “witches” in Africa right now. That’s just ONE example of the horrors for which I hate religion. Oh, and guess what: those people in Africa are Christians. Wouldn’t you know…

Your turn, my “friend”.

What Ray sees as a decline in moral integrity is the fact that homosexuality is more and more tolerated (and, as we all know, tolerance has no place in Christianity!).

Interesting statement. Will YOU tolerate Ray’s beliefs? I thought not (as evidence of your entire blog dedicated to him). Nice try though. You could believe or not believe and go on your way but you find it necessary to unknowingly PROVE the very bible and ideas you hate by hating them and making it your point to be actively against them. Interesting indeed my friend.

Comment on Steel machines with wings that fly? Crazy! by Nathaniel

@Bruce
If that’s what you think atheists believe, then I can’t possibly have an intelligent, rational discussion about this with you, now can I? If instead of telling other people what they believe, you simply ask them, you might actually learn something in the process as well.

Also, atheist =/= evolutionist. The two have nothing whatsoever to do with eachother, and to conflate them is to draw a cheap straw man to attack; a cowardly practice.

Wow, it sure sounds like Bill O’Reilly, just spinning the Hell out of what bwinwright actually said. Can he give ANY example of ORDERLINESS that DID NOT require intelligent direction? Of course not. Why? Because he is an atheist, therefore insane. He believes a tornado can blow through a junkyard and leave behind a newly assembled automobile. This IS the insanity bwinwright speaks about.

Comment on Book Review: “You Can Lead An Atheist To Evidence, But You Can’t make Him Think” by Ray Comfort by Matt

Matt — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:23:32 +0000

Theists make me laugh so hard. Mr. Comfort has the word “evidence” on the title of his book, but claims to rely on faith. This is an abuse of the very logic of the law of non-contradiction, because faith means belief WITHOUT evidence, so he undermines his own position. Mr. Comfort also ASSUMES a God exists without evidence. By doing this, he also commits another logical fallacy of “begging the question,” in which the premise of the author’s arguments are ASSUMED to be true without adequate proof of the author’s statements.
So, what have I proven here? Ray Comfort, and every other theist out there,
IS IRRATIONAL.
Looks like the banana man failed once more…..
Wack….- “Honey, where is the hammer to open this fucking Coconut???”

I expected as much that this book was rubbish, knowing who the author is. I have read so many apologetics books, and I just can’t bring myself to read another. They all have the same arguments that are refuted time and time again. If someone wants to write a book with new evidence, then I’ll read, but for the time being, these books will stay off my library list. Thank you for the review; I won’t even bother with this one.
