Title: Some stupidity of Ray Comfort.

You have to see this (https://www.facebook.com/official.Ray.Comfort/posts/575792439107900) to believe it.

I expect he will try to argue that the Bible was using some other word that means exclusively "vertebrate" and "animal" is an imperfect translation.

Not that it matters, because there are vertebrates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepidodactylus_lugubris) that reproduce asexually (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnemidophorus_neomexicanus) and have all-female populations. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramphotyphlops_braminus)

Yes, yes he did.

I see Ray is practicing his usual mental gymnastics.  He's probably flexible enough to suck his own mind-dick.

And eat out his own ass. At the same time.

The saddest thing is that the original question from Cory Kent was not particularly special. Genesis manages to exclude a lot of things the reproductive processes of a minority of animals would just be one of those things. It also does not mention how plants reproduce because it is not relevant.

Then a true believer like Ray Comfort comes along and gets it all wrong and shows the world once again how much of an idiot he really is. Seriously how dumb do you have to be to choose that as an answer to that question.

Yes, I'm sure you'd come across that in Genesis.

In the beginning, God made them male and female, except thy Phylum Molluska.

Ray Comfort--the compulsive liar who doesn't know what words mean, or even how to look them up in a dictionary.  Believe me, this is par for the course for him.

For someone who's supposedly an expert on the bible, it's pretty embarrassing to be so ignorant of the meaning of simple Greek roots.

Oh wait, I forgot. The bible was written in English.

Oh god.  Ray though that bibliophile was a portmanteau of pedophile and Bible?  Now that's funny.

I nearly got banned from Ray's fb page yesterday just because I accused him of being a money grabbing fraud.

He said he was considering banning me for 'slander' Having told him that it would actually be libel, not slander, but he would have to prove that he was telling the truth, he went quiet.

Shame, that would be one hell of a court case!

That attitude is actually pretty widespread among fundies. They tend to claim that atheists are either A) just angry at God, or B) worship themselves.

Someone should do a goofy superhero satire of Comfort & Cameron.

BANANA MAN & HAS-BEEN BOY!

Unless someone can come up with a better name for Kirk.

Why not Soda Can Boy, since that's the second half of Ray's atheist nightmare thing?

If you look at Jean Altmeyer's findings (http://members.shaw.ca/jeanaltemeyer/drbob/TheAuthoritarians.pdf), the really delicious irony is that, unlike religious people who had freedom and questioned both sides of the issue as adolescents, the fundies themselves don't believe, on some level.
Case in point: if Oral Roberts really believed he would immediately go to a place of eternal ecstasy after death, why threaten that "the Lord will call me home" if his followers do not raise and give him eight million dollars?

I think most zealots are just control-freaks with massive egos who use religion as an excuse.

The relevant Altemeyer's name is Robert. Jean is his wife.
