 So... are we supposed to

 So... are we supposed to be shamed that a college kid stupid enough to want to screw up a church service is also stupid enough to be convinced of anything by Ray Comfort?

Stupid is as stupid does, I say.

You'll excuse me if I don't

You'll excuse me if I don't immediately believe your story. It's the context, really.

 So, like... seriously,

 So, like... seriously, Will... I heard that there was this guy once who was eating baby kittens and raping women for breakfast, and he was in this hotel room, and he opened the Gideon's Bible, and it opened right up to a verse that said, "Thou shalt not rape women and eat kittens before lunch."  The thing is, there's no verse in the Bible like that.  God put it there, just so he could see it.  So you know what he did?

He switched to dog.

LOL, that's sounds like some

LOL, that's sounds like some of the bullshit stories the gideons would tell us when they would visit our church back in the day.

If god can do anything, can he make a hot dog so big even he can't eat all of it?

Ooooohhhh!

 

Um, wait, couldn't he have just waited until after noon?

 

My favourite story of someone following biblical instructions is "The Year of Living Biblically" by A.J. Jacobs. An amazing read. The part where he tries to "stone" people with tiny pebbles so they won't notice is hilarious.

Yeah. Atheists "lost" one. I

Yeah. Atheists "lost" one. I can't help thinking about dodgeball, back in primary school. We used to send the kid who couldn't play over to the other side. I think atheists "lost" one in the same way. The average intelligence of atheists went up a smidgin. Strangely enough, so did the average intelligence of Ray Comfort fans.

That sounds like a variation

That sounds like a variation of the Darwin deathbed conversion story. Complete bullshit until proven otherwise. All Jesus stories follow this same heart tugging format.

"So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence." - Bertrand Russell

Stewie: Yay and God said to Abraham, "you will kill your son, Issak", and Abraham said, I can't hear you, you'll have to speak into the microphone." "Oh I'm sorry, Is this better? Check, check, check... Jerry, pull the high end out, I'm still getting some hiss back here."

Our bets are similar. You're betting that it's bullshit and I'm betting that it's dishonest bullshit.

Oh, fuck all this rational

Oh, fuck all this rational thinking and antitheistic shenanigans, I'm now convinced that there MUST be a god.

How else could that story have bought a tear to my eye?

Please make it stop!

He gave his life to sodomy that day.

 

 

 

Who knew another religious leader could go down faster than Ted Haggard in a hotel. I suppose since it was a perfect fit, it was perfectly designed for it!

This one time I used to be

This one time I used to be an atheist and I really hated god and stuff. I used to yell at the top of my lungs how much I hated him (you know, so he could hear all the way up in heaven). So one day I was standing out side a church handing out flyers for free abortion lessons and telling people about my belief in darwinism when I suddenly succumbed to a heart attack. All I remember was seeing a man who was about 30 years old with long brown hair and a beard. This man touched me and I was healed. I then knew it was jesus saving me. He saved me from the heart attack because of the special plan he had for me and all of you and he knew that I needed to live my life so that I could fulfil his plan. Then I felt god's grace and became a christian. From that day onward I have loved god and accepted jesus everyday.

 

Sorry atheists looks like you lost another one.

I saw the housekeeper come and go, I saw the minibar guy come and go, I’ve never laid eyes on a fucking Gideon! What are they, ninjas? Where are they? Where are they from? Gidea? Who the fuck are these people?!

I’m gonna capture a Gideon. Yeah, I’m gonna make that my hobby. I’ll call up the front desk one day and say, “Uh, I don’t seem to have a Bible in my room.

Theophobia is NOT atheism

Atheists don't believe in god (and hence heaven).  God hating and screaming at said god isn't what a rational athiest does.  Theophobia (meaning hatred or fear of god) is not atheism.

Remember how you figured out there is no Santa? Well, their god is just like Santa. They just haven’t figured out he’s not real yet.
