I'm intimately familiar with this guy's "work" and I'm convinced he's just a con artist who doesn't believe a word of what he says

maybe he believes all the jesus stuff, but he's also conflated an inordinate amount of science denial with his preaching and irt that he knowingly and deliberately lies to his audiences with amazing regularity, so I just kind of have to think, if he really believes the religious angle of his act, why would he feel the need to bolster it with dishonesty? if you have to lie to propagate a truth then it can't really have been truth to begin with.

anyway he makes millions of dollars a year and last I checked he doesn't pay taxes on any of it, so I expect he'll be in Kent Hovind's now vacant cell any year now

And not a word was said about it. More stupid poo poo atheists actually believe, that the logic of man is actually worthwhile in deducing the expanse of the known universe while not a single one of them has been on the moon. In fact, only 12 have walked the moon, none of them atheists, and it wasn't the 12 apostles of Jesus. I'm still trying to find out the pinnacle of atheist science but I have yet to see it. btw angels exist.

It's good that the technology to put people on the Moon was developed entirely through prayer, angelic revelations and other good Christian science.

There are so many things about ol' Ray that make him one of the sketchiest dudes in the contemporary religious game. The one with the least amount of redemptive humorous value is the fact that he's a presuppositionalist. ("All knowledge stems from God" --> "Without God, you literally can't know anything" --> "There is no point in continuing this conversation, because after every statement you make, I will just say 'How do you know that?' until you want to smash my face into the pavement.")

about as dishonest as an argument can be, imo. it's really just another form of a child going "I know you are but what am I" when being called on something they know they are doing.

it's especially dishonest considering that Comfort will frequently abandon the presuppositionalist mindset entirely if he thinks his audience is gullible enough to fall for drivel like the banana and crocoduck shticks. the fact that it isn't possible to present those arguments without being dishonest aside, if he was sincere in his presupposionalism, he wouldn't do that.

I realize that atheists think they're so clever and intelligent in their responses to the bible. But they are no different than they've been since the creation of man. In fact, they are so predictable that even the bible addresses them in Romans 1:18-31, 1 Peter 4:3-5, and Psalms 36:1, which describes atheists perfectly. So as Solomon says in Ecclesiastes, there is nothing new under the sun.

So since atheists have zero facts to present to defend their position that Jesus is not the Son of God, but only attacks, denials, and ignorance of history, then they have nothing new to teach us. Absolutely nothing. So all that's left in their responses are schoolyard attacks and denials that don't belong in any debate, much less an intelligent debate.

So if you want to be taken seriously, atheists, then you need to get educated about history and elementary principles of right and wrong because verbal volleyball doesn't prove anything except one's maturity level. So that's the first elementary principle you need to understand before even thinking you can refute the bible.

Lol I looked all 3 of those up, one of them is explicitly bitching about pagans, one of them just mentioning someone who doesn't "fear God" (typically interpreted as believing in and actively trying to serve), and one mention of the "ungodly" (giant catchall which probably was written more in mind of the insufficiently devout and pagans than actual atheists)

There's also no prediction of atheist argument or sick burns of any kind but I guess you gotta give them a 1/3 for actually quoting a scripture that might, but probably not, actually reference atheists existing and being bad

A woman told police she shot another woman because she didn't believe in God and kept her body for three days as a shrine in her Phoenix apartment, according to arrest records.

Phoenix officers arrested Anitra Braxton, 39, on suspicion of first-degree murder Saturday after finding an unidentified body in her apartment in the 1500 block of West Missouri Avenue.

Police reported they were called to the scene and discovered the woman covered with a towel on Braxton's couch, dead of a gunshot wound to the head.

Braxton told investigators that the body was a "shrine from God" and that she had shot the woman in the eye for not believing in God, the records said. The murder weapon has not been recovered.

She also reportedly told investigators that the body had been at her home for two to three days. Braxton maintained that the corpse on the sofa was actually her own body, the records added.

Braxton was cooperative with investigators but made statements that were "somewhat delusional" during interviews, Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump said.

"She will not tell us who the victim is. When we ask for the victim's name, she gives her own name," Crump said. "At this point, we're not sure what her thought process is or what type of mental illness she may be suffering from."

He added that that investigators have not been able to identify the victim, whom they described as a heavyset Black woman in her 30s or 40s.

Police reported the crime scene had been partially cleaned up and that the victim may have been pregnant. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday and the case may be classified as a double homicide if the victim was pregnant, Crump said.

Braxton was booked into a Maricopa County jail and is expected to face a charge of first-degree murder. She was being held in lieu of $750,000 bail, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 6.

Ripped crime scene tape is all that remains outside of Braxton's empty central Phoenix apartment, located at the end of a ground floor hallway.

Fred Sorensen, who has lived at the complex for about two years, said he was not surprised to hear about the murder. He described it as being "not the safest neighborhood."

"I don't feel that it's that safe, but it's a place to live," Sorensen said. "It makes me wonder what kind of sick people are out here, but the world is full of sick people."

Feeling Ill? Do you not know that Jesus heals of all sicknesses no matter what it is?! Diabetes, AIDS, Asthma, ALLERGIES, whatever!!!

Jesus can knock it down, and it won't return.

Don't believe that the Lord has placed an illness on you because you done something wrong in your life. The Lord is not the author of confusion.

My Pastor said that the Lord hates sickness just as much as he hates sin because they are both weapons from the enemy Satan.

Yes, take your medicine, but know who the REAL healer is!

The left is always stealing Christianity's symbols, concepts, and language and reinventing them under their own banner--for example, the rainbow, stolen by the homosexuals.

Case in point: The phrase "politically correct." Yes, ironically, it too was stolen from us.

The alleged politically correct are neither biblically nor politically correct. One cannot be truly politically correct without being biblically correct. Politics cannot be severed from religion anymore than morality can be severed from legislation. One's political persuasion is a reflection of his morality (or, more often than not, his immorality) and one's morals determines his religion. Thus, applied politics is applied religion and applied religion is applied politics.

It is therefore imperative that we get our religion correct that we might get our politics correct

Like those people who would go on talk shows after 9/11 and say "The plane was coming straight for my floor, but in the split second before it hit, I prayed to God, and the plane jerked away and hit a different part of the building"

Guess God was powerless to make the plane miss the building or stop the terrorists from getting on the planes to begin with or whatever. 3000 deaths is fine as long as that one dude who prayed is OK.

FIRST EBOLA GOON AVOID ALL POSTS SPEWING EBLOA SHIT POSTS EVERWHERE
I'm literally retarded
From time to time, some religious nosy-parker will say to me "Have you considered taking Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?"

As an intelligent rational being with functional bull-poo poo filters and little patience with fools, I find this most annoying.

Typically, my first urge is to shout "You pathetic non-reasoning jackwagon, die and get off my planet" and walk away. But I am polite and civil so I don't do this.

Then- I found the perfect response: courtesy of the great philosopher Gilbert Gottfried.

The next time I encountered such a fool-

"Have you taken the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?"
"Why yes Madam, I speak to Jesus every day."
"You do? Wonderful!"

"Yes, just the other day I was talking to Our Lord and he said "I got a hot date tonight!"
"Cool, Savior! Yah think you'll get lucky?"
"Sure, no problem, she'll gently caress anything that's not nailed down!"

But I actually did pull it on one of my viler room-mates- an ex-elementary school teacher turned meth-addicted gerontophile bag-whore who had seriously gotten religion, as junkies often do.
She was loving an eighty-year old man ala Anna Nicole-Smith. Ick. Her plan apparently was to marry him and get title to his house when he died.

She threw a glass ashtray at my head and later stole my favorite cat, took him to the pound and had him gassed.
