Thunderf00t vs Comfort

25 July 2009  

A few weeks ago, after the news that Richard Dawkins (rightly, IMO) decided not to accept an offer to “debate” Ray “Tampon Case/Banana Man” Comfort, YouTube user Thunderf00t made a video offering to have a conversation with Comfort.

Comfort apparently accepted, and Thunderf00t and Comfort met up to discuss things.

The results can be seen on YouTube.

I’ve not seen the videos yet, so can’t offer any opinion on them. However, knowing Comfort’s style of FAIL argumentation and quality of “evidence”, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Thunderf00t kick Comforts arse. Intellectually speaking.

    If thunderf00t can't be bothered I have a potted plant that could win the argument too.

    ROTFLMAO.

    While funny I do think that any attempt to engage with nutcases just legitimatises their madness. No one will ever come out of a debate with a madman looking good and these things become nothing more than point scoring PR exercises – science can rarely convince the ignorant in this manner.

    Still, the bits I watched were quite funny – when I have time I will try to see it all.

    Indeed. However, I don't think either Thunderf00t himself nor his viewers think he's any kind of popular authority, so I'd doubt that anyone would come to the opinion that this is giving Comfort any credibility.

    In fact, Comforts own words in the 4 videos I've seen so far clearly dispell any notion in this direction.

    I guess several You tube commenters must have been watching a different video from the one I saw, as they thought that Comfort pwned. :-) because for instance, Thunderfoot freely admitted that he didn''t know everything about the creation of the universe whereas Comfort claimed certainty.
    Great demonstration of how you can get some people to believe anything as long as you just claim to KNOW something.

    Fair one – and to that extent there is no problem with Thunderf00t debating with retard^W Comfort.

    That said, it is already being semi-spun as an example of where Comfort has beaten down yet another "Clueless Atheist."

    The mind boggles.

There's probably no god.  Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.
