Ray Comfort is yet another Christian evangelist and Apologist .

Ray as an intellectual powerhouse Edit

How can we estimate Ray's intelligence?

On the one hand Ray Comfort looks very brainy when he’s persuading Christian fundamentalists to believe his way, evangelize his way, buy his products from Living Waters Publications and perhaps donate as well. Ray Comfort also looks very brainy when he works out just how to goad atheists into attacking his way of doing things. Then we suspect the Christian fundamentalists feel they need to donate still more to support Ray Comfort in his stalwart battle against evolutionists, atheists etc.
On the other hand Ray Comfort doesn’t look very brainy at all when anyone with half an education reads the material that he writes. Indeed the intellectual content of material by Ray Comfort is one reason so many intelligent atheists are goaded into attacking him. ^[1]

Has Ray miscalculated goading atheists? Attacking Ray Comfort has become an Internet Meme and memes take on a life of their own. Memes grow, reproduce and adapt to their environment, Natural selection shapes memes to survive. Ray's renamed his own blog and promised to focus less on atheism but it may be too late for him to correct things. If Ray's blog becomes less favourable for the anti-Ray meme that meme will survive in better websites, like this one where Ray’s delete button and banhammer don’t reach. Thus the anti-Ray meme will adapt to thrive on atheist websites.

How Ray brings ComfortEdit

Ray Comfort scares the sh*t out of people over hell like so many others.
Ray Comfort encourages his followers to accept trials and tribulations in this life, warns them they will be damned otherwise. ^[2]

PZ and Ray ComfortEdit

PZ Myers thinks Ray Comfort is a fraud and an idiot, further a dishonest loon and doesn’t mind saying so. PZ has repeatedly demonstrated that Ray Comfort doesn’t understand the basics of evolutionary biology but Ray Comfort does understand how to get his hands on vast sums of money, for example for free printings of his propaganda. PZ thinks publishers who reprint Ray Comfort’s drivel are irresponsible.
