Ray Comfort’s new web site (as I read it)
Ray Comfort (the imbecile behind the ‘atheist’s nightmare’/banana argument (you must have seen this video, right?)) has a new web site. Another one. Because all of his others are incapable of convincing anyone with half a brain and a willingness to use it.
Anyway, it’s seriously crap. I mean, really, really, really stupid. Even the very first sentence is a glib (and ridiculous) straw man:
An atheist is someone who believes that nothing made everything.
and the rest of the site just builds on this lying for Jesus.
However, I wanted to see what the site would be like if it read as Comfort actually thinks. Here’s a sample:
Imagine if I said that my latest book came from nothing. The text fell together in a coherent order, the page numbers fell in numerical order, it bound itself, the cover designed itself, and then out of nowhere the title, You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence, But You Can’t Make Him Think appeared. There was no author, no printer, and no publisher. What sort of crazy person would you think I was if I said that nothing created the book? Why then would anyone give any credibility to an atheist? So the next time you hear the word “atheist†and the word “intelligent†in the same sentence, you will know better.
And now, the same text re-written as if someone was channelling Comfort directly:
Imagine if I said dat my latest book came from nodigg. De text fell togedeh in a cohehent ordeh, de page numbehehs fell in numehical ordeh, it bound itself, uh uh uh uh uh, the, errr, cobeh designid itself, uh uh uh uh uh, ‘n den out of nowhehe the, duh uhh, title, uh uh uh, You Can Lead an Adeist t’ Ebidess, But You Can’t Make Him Dink appeared. Uhhh….Dehe was no audor, no prinner, ‘n no publisheh. What sort of crazy pehson wudd you dink I was if I said dat nodigg cratid de book, duh…uh…? Uhhhhhhh, why den wudd anyone gibe any credibiltiby t’ an adeist, duh…uh…? So de next time you hear the, uh, the word “adeist†‘n the, uh, the word “intelligent†in the, ERRRR, same sentess, you will know betteh.
Somehow, it seems to make much more sense like that.
You can read the entire site this way, courtesy of The Dialectizer.
