Heh, I think that would be a lot of fun. I don't see how we could possibly persuade him to visit, however; I'm sure he receives similar invitations all the time. But if he really is so confident about his beliefs, what does he have to lose? well, i'm currently posting jesusy stuff, with a bit of a scholarly edge. i'm gonna ease into scholarly criticism, i think... but he seems somewhat agreeable to my posts so far (see above), as they're only slight tweaks to his ideas using proper context. maybe... maybe i can convince him by telling him that we're in dire need of more creationists here. because, well, we are. and he seems like he'll be somewhat civil, right? and he was willing to publically debate the RRS (and get stomped all over by them). he seems to have a lot of free time from the massive number of posts he generates daily there, so he probably wouldn't mind a little laid back discussion here...

ray comfort writes: Now You Know Sinned34 (for some reason you haven’t given a profile. God knows your name). These are my words: “Pedophilia (molesting children), illegal. Abortion (killing children), legal.” This is your response: “Protecting children from predators is something most people can agree on. Preventing a collection of cells from being removed from a woman's body is not something most people can agree on.” This is a photo of a your “collection of cells.” It's a five-month baby in the womb. Now you can see what you are advocating killing. There's blood on your hands . . . Words of Comfort -- Ray Comfort's Blog: Now You Know quote: and now he quotes me:
ray comfort writes: Blood is on Your Hands << only first trimester abortions are deemed within the woman's rights to privacy. second trimester is left up to the state to regulate, and third trimester may be outright outlawed. and is, to my knowledge, in every state. in other words, ain't nobody aborting babies that look like that.>> You are gravely misinformed. Pictured is a 12 week child. Words of Comfort -- Ray Comfort's Blog: Blood is on Your Hands quote: Edited by arachnophilia, : No reason given.

ray comfort writes: << arachnophilia said... but this does not change the unconstitutionality of the government legislating medical procedures. emotional appeals can be very persuasive, but they do not change the fact that third trimester abortions are illegal -- and that posting a picture of a late term fetus as a representation of the "blood on someone's hands" is entirely disengenuous.>> That's the mentality of Nazi Germany: the State says it's okay. The picture is of a five-month child in the womb, not nine months. Go to some of the pro-life sites and look at photos of babies aborted in the latter stages of pregnancy. Shame on you, professing to be a Christian and advocating the right to kill a child, no matter at what stage. Your use of the word "fetus" speaks volumes my forthcoming reply:

how long until i'm banned, you think? Gosh, arach, I don't know; you're really stirring them up over there! You're making great points, though, especially when in the face of such zealous and numerous Christians. I tried to lend you a hand today, but they just ignore my posts; I feel like an annoying fly that buzzes around while people are trying to talk about politics (or shout, in this case). But yeah, you're doing really good. By the way, how do you use italics in the comments section? I can't figure that out.

But yeah, you're doing really good. don't feel bad, i've had lots of experience. and they've really only got two posts. they're not really doing so good against "i'm a christian, and i disagree." their responses are either "BABY KILLER!" or "you're not a christian [if you don't agree with ray comfort]!"
By the way, how do you use italics in the comments section? I can't figure that out. html tags. italics produces italics use "b" for bold and "u" for underline.

for some reason, i have one comment that i have posted repeatedly that's just not getting through:
"matthew 5:22." i'm really not sure why he's censoring bible references, except that it makes him look really bad for calling people fools.

So ask why it is being censored?
But his blog like Faith's is a classic example of the bankruptcy of Biblical Christianity. Ray, like Faith, simply cannot allow open discussion of their position. It is the avoidance syndrome; since you cannot support your position, retreat to a protected area where you cannot be challenged. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

That's the most threatening kind of challenge, and therefore the kind of challenge that most needs to be avoided. Let's end the political smears

After allowing no new posts for five days, on January 10 Ray promoted a Christian comment directed at atheists to the Wise Words From Richard Dawkins blog entry, so I reposted my earlier comment. It still hasn't appeared and I doubt it will.
Ray Comfort's biased manipulations are only obvious to those whose comments are never promoted, and this is annoying as all heck. If anyone is interested in starting up a "http://www.raycomfortisaliar.com" or "http://www.stopraycomfort.com" website, I'd be delighted to host it for free. I'm not offering website development help, I've already got my hands full, but I can certainly host the site. --Percy

it's then quite ironic that he's retreating to a place his position cannot be challenged by the bible. As nwr said, they are the most threatening challenges. People of weak faith, like Faith and Ray and so many others, cannot support their positions in an open market. In particular, they MUST at all costs prevent Christians from pointing out the flaws in their arguments. They can deal with Atheists by simply Damning them to Hell, but challenges from within the faith, that come from folk that support God and the Bible, that support Jesus, and do so using Jesus very message cannot be allowed. Their only resort is avoidance, running and hiding, "get out of public schools", censor what others can see and hear. Biblical Christianity as practiced by Ray and Faith and so many preachers these days is simply theologically bankrupt. However it STILL is a great way to get rich. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
