Ray Comfort is not just an idiot, but a vicious idiot. On WorldNetDaily, they're pimping his book, a classic collection of apologetics without much else behind it. But Comfort is treading dangerous waters when he
contends atheists hate God because he does exist.

"Atheists don't hate fairies, leprechauns, or unicorns because they don't exist," writes Comfort. "It is impossible to hate something that doesn't exist. And that makes the point."
Dear Ray: Atheists don't hate god. Not at all. Our feelings towards him are the same as our feelings toward fairies, leprechauns, and unicorns.

On the other hand, our feelings towards you are loathing, revulsion, repugnance, and pity. How can it be otherwise when you won't leave us alone, when you perpetually broadcast your inanity to the world, and encourage your zombie followers to rebreathe your stupidity endlessly?

If I were subject to daily messages from Unicornists that my failure to believe in Unicorns was a sign of moral depravity, despite evidence to the contrary, I'd be a vehement aunicornist too.

What irks me most is that Comfort doesn't know his history. Romans 2:15, which Comfort cites as his "evidence" that everyone knows at birth that Christianity is true, is the exact same passage used throughout history to justify Christian atrocities against non-Christians. It's the Biblical equivalent of "Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out." It's the passage used to justify the Crusades.

I can only conclude that Ray Comfort hates, and as he gives, so he gets.

You know you're going to hell for your ununicorninan thoughts, don't you?

I am just always in amazement at how people put such faith in writings which have as much historical credibility as Grimm's tales.

A line - and a terribly written line at that - in a fable "proves" something?

Ray Comfort can h8 h8 h8 all he wants; it's not worth it to me to hate back. Ridicule if he becomes enough of a problem, maybe. WND will, Lady willing, become quickly marginalized....
