Ray Comfort's bullshit is discussed
here. These are some of the article's quotes of Comfort.
Something radically wrong is happening to our nation and I think the Bible puts its finger on it very clearly. As a nation we've lost the fear of God. And America in 1950 was called a God-fearing nation. But nowadays, if you talk about the fear of God, you're a fundamentalist Bible-bashing, narrow minded bigot full of hate speech, but the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, that's all it is, the beginning of wisdom. And someone who fears God looks upon God for their moral guidance. They don't go out and commit adultery, they don't lie, they don't steal, and they definitely don't go around killing people.
Uh? Susan Smith? Thirty Years' War? The
Albigensian Heresy?
The fact that religious fundies of whatever stripe seem to have no problem advocating violence themselves? Or the so-called
Textbook War? (scroll down to it)
Hell, just do a search or two on the main site and you'll find examples of believers endorsing violence.
When we interviewed those 15 people in "Genius," the whole 15 of them had no fear of God before their eyes. And what's happened is that we've had British redcoats invading our nation and shoot our youth through the heart. Men like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, who now went to meet his maker, have come in with their smooth English accents, have convinced millions of young people that they're nothing but primates. There's no ultimate right. There's no ultimate wrong.
Oh? Is baby-killing an "ultimate wrong" Comfort? You people say it is, but then you same people have no problem when "god" orders it done...the ultimate in moral hypocrisy.
And no...those people did not fucking advocating doing whatever the hell one wants like what you are implying.
Fortunately, this article that quoted Comfort goes on to refute him:
Professor Phil Zuckerman's research has revealed that to equate faith in God with morality is a false notion.
