Ray Comfort is Amazingly Stupid

In a recent blog post on Ray Comfort's Atheist blog, a found this tidbit:

An insightful scientist once said that evolution has done nothing for humanity. Time has proven him wrong. Evolution has become a massive money-making business. The faithful flock to buy books, bones (do a search on the massive fake fossil industry), DVD’s, magazines, made-for TV documentaries, and it all evolved from nothing but the molehill of one man’s imagination. The whole-hearted embracing of the Theory of Evolution without empirical proof, is a sad testimony to the gullibility of the human mind.

Now let me replace a few words in that...

An insightful scientist once said that religion has done nothing for humanity. Time has proven him wrong. Religion has become a massive money-making business. The faithful flock to buy books, paraphernalia (do a search on the year sales of crosses), DVD’s, magazines, made-for TV documentaries, and it all evolved from nothing but the molehill of ancient people's imagination. The whole-hearted embracing of Christianity without empirical proof, is a sad testimony to the gullibility of the human mind.

Seriously, did he realize he's leveling the same claim against science that is leveled against religion? Can he really be that dense?

Besides, evolution is purely based off of empirical proof of experimentation and observation of the natural world, so I can't figure out how he defines people as "embracing of the Theory of Evolution without empirical proof."

If Ray Comfort revealed tomorrow that his Christian demeanor was just a big hoax used to point out the stupidity of religion and believing things without any substantial evidence, I would slap my forehead and laugh at myself for falling for his deception. I just don't understand how people can believe an ancient book instead of reality.

Cover Yourself in Gold for god

Raised as a Mormon, there was often LDS paraphernalia on the walls.

One I remember was a map of the world showing the location of all the Mormon temples in the world.

According to their own page there is 129 operating temples. Then there's also thousands of churches, over 50,000 missionaries across the world, and over 300,000 high school students enrolled in seminary (the special Mormon way of sneaking church into school).

Now, I do know that, as is with most churches, they do donate money toward good things but...imagine if they had not spent all that money on 129 of these:
And instead spent that money on helping the world. Why do we need 129 of these across the world for them to do their archaic rituals of magical marriages and post-death baptisms. That's a lot of money for such useless actions.

Of course, I'm not saying they're the only church that spends money wrong (and they're not even the worst), but they're the one I'm familiar with. Being that they're newer then most of the other big ones, they're perfect proof that we won't be seeing a religion that works toward helping people. They will always work toward helping themselves.

god is Evil

My aunt, who's a facebook friend of mine just posted in relation to her daughter, Shiloh:

"Shiloh and Orlan just got hit by a 4 wheeler in Orlan's car. Glass shattered all over the kids. Everyone is ok. So blessed to watched over by angels."

It took all my strength to stop from posting a reply such as "If angels were watching over them, why did the accident happen at all?".

Whether religious people like it or not, god is either evil or not omnipotent. If he can stop something from happening, such as an accident, 9/11, slavery, or the Holocaust, but doesn't, he is evil. It doesn't matter his reason for letting those things happen, letting them happen is evil.

Edit: She just posted today that "Orlan ended up with a broken rib from the accident yesterday." I guess those angels didn't try hard enough.

Is god a Believer?

Does he believe someone created him? If he is an atheist, wouldn't that be foolish to believe in him? I mean, he probably isn't religious, right?

Why would Christians believe an atheist created them?

Pathetic creationist comics

Remember, with Jesus, modern day wonders are evil. Well, unless you can make profit from it.

That comic is from http://www.Answersingenesis.org

If you've never visited the site, do. It's a website for young earth creationists who think dinosaurs were alive just 5000 years ago.

Here's another good one:



Of course, the irony they miss is that they pick and choose which sciences to agree with. It gets even funnier when you consider they're biblical literalists who mock people who don't take the bible as complete truth. Oddly, at the same time, they only take the science they want.

Here's one of their comics making fun of people that don't follow the bible completely:


Anywho, one last comic:


Don't forget, you're a worthless evil being who needs the power of the great sky daddy and his son to be worth anything.
