Atheism, intelligence don't mix
J
Comfort for 2009: Atheism, intelligence don't mix
New book takes on tough questions posed by skeptics
Just as atheists in America begin to develop unprecedented recognition, an
evangelist with a long history of engaging skeptics is gearing up to help
return them to obscurity.
"There are a lot of people who think atheism and the word intelligent are
synonymous, when they're not," Ray Comfort, author of "You Can Lead an
Atheist to Evidence but You Can't Make Him Think," told WND
Comfort - whose book is scheduled for release by WND Books Feb. 12 - is the
author of 60 titles and the co-host of "The Way of the Master," a weekly
television show about personal evangelism with actor Kirk Cameron, star of
the hit movie "Fireproof."
Comfort's new release takes readers into the heart of his lively and
stimulating dialogue with skeptics, with questions and answers from his
blog, Atheist Central. He's also created a website, Pull the Plug on
Atheism, where he says readers can find articles that "expose atheism for
the foolishness that it is."
Comfort has debated atheists in public forums and counts many among his
friends, including Darrin Rasberry, who challenges readers in the book's
preface to "prove Ray wrong."
Rasberry writes that with the advent of "New Atheism" - led by figures such
as evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and journalist Christopher
Hitchens - "hostility and ridicule have all but replaced open, honest
discussion."
"Scholarly and philosophical analysis have taken a back seat to pop
polemics, and the biggest names in the movement have subsequently banished
the art of philosophical study to make sure their diatribes sell," Rasberry
writes.
Comfort told WND he believes the rise of an aggressive "evangelistic"
atheistic movement is a "symptom of moral decline."
"The darker a nation gets, the more it hates the light," he said. "The more
a nation throws itself into sin, the more it's going to hate righteousness."
Comfort says the aim of his book isn't just to convince hardcore atheists
but to reach "people who sit on the fence, people who say, Oh I don't know
if God exists. I'm just not sure."
"It's very easy to prove that God exists," Comfort insists. "You cannot have
a creation without a creator. You cannot have things made without a maker.
So all it takes is a little bit of common sense on the part of thinking
people to realize atheism is a farce. It's intellectual suicide. It makes no
sense whatsoever."
But Comfort's book takes on all kinds of questions posed by skeptics, and
many aren't easily answered by the average believer.
Questions he tackles in "You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence but You Can't
Make Him Think" include:
"How do you know you have the right God?"
"Had any of you been born in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Syria, etc.,
there is nearly a 100 percent chance that you would be Muslim, and no amount
of free will given to you from Jesus would prevent that."
"So, a talking snake, a man living inside a whale's stomach for three days,
a virgin pregnancy, and a man walking on water don't contradict logic?"
"You just don't get it, Ray. Our God is so psychotic that I would worship
him if you could prove He was real, which thank God, you can't. Your own
Holy Book says that your God drowned 99.9999 percent of all air-breathing
life on the planet. Kittens, Ray. He drowned jillions of kittens - and you
worship Him. Are you crazy or what?"
When his book is released, Comfort plans to debate atheists on national
television and radio programs.
He's had friendly encounters with atheists, including an opportunity to
speak from the platform at a conference in Orlando of the group American
Atheists, founded by Madalyn Murray O'Hair, and at a dinner with 40 atheists
in Orange County, Calif.
But he meets many angry "teeth-gritted" atheists, he said, "whose agenda
isn't to push atheism but to take from you and I the freedom that we have in
this country to worship God."
"They want to get prayer out of the inauguration, they want to get 'In God
we trust' off our money, they want to stop Gideons from getting Bibles out
in schools," said Comfort.
These "zealots," he said, "want to stamp God out of schools and out of
American society because of the moral accountability that they're held to"
"And it's an absolute tragedy," he said, "because every atheist is going to
get the shock of his death. They've got everything to lose and nothing to
gain. If the atheist is right and there is no God he doesn't even get the
joy of saying to theists, I told you so. But if there is a God, and he's the
God revealed in Holy Scripture, then he's lost his very life of salvation,
because heaven and hell are realities."
Comfort said he's seen many atheists come to faith in Jesus Christ,
including a good friend.
"He saw no proof of God's existence whatsoever," Comfort said of his friend,
"but one day he was driving along in his car, he went to a church, because
he like a girl at the church, and he listened to the preacher and got
challenged. Stopped his car, and he said, God, I don't know if you exist,
but if you do, please reveal yourself to me. And he said it in earnestness,
and God just absolutely transformed his heart, and he went on to become my
ministry partner, Kirk Cameron."

Let's see what wisdom the Roamin' Catlicks intelligentsia have to share:

erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."
[Cardinal Bellarmine 1615, during the trial of Galileo]
Buzzzzzzzzz....Wrong answer!
"At the time of Galileo the Church remained much more faithful to reason
than Galileo himself. The process against Galileo was reasonable and just".

1993

I've seen his videos with Kirk Cameron. They're both of them ignorant,
stupid and crazy.
Much of the time they have to know they're lying so add dishonest to
the list.
And their gullible followers are even stupider.

If you count the old double negative thing, I suppose so.
Makes it even funnier when viewed in that light.

Lots of claims but yet again no evidence I notice!
In reality "Intelligent people 'less likely to believe in God'".
"Professor Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster
University, said many more members of the "intellectual elite" considered
themselves atheists than the national average.
A decline in religious observance over the last century was directly linked
to a rise in average intelligence, he claimed."
"A survey of Royal Society fellows found that only 3.3 per cent believed in
God - at a time when 68.5 per cent of the general UK population described
themselves as believers.
A separate poll in the 90s found only seven per cent of members of the
American National Academy of Sciences believed in God.
Professor Lynn said most primary school children believed in God, but as
they entered adolescence - and their intelligence increased - many started
to have doubts. "

What puzzles me is why these psychopaths have to be so deliberately
nasty about atheists.
He has to know they're button-pushing personal lies.
Nobody can be that stupid.
He's just a hate-driven bigot.

Yep. Writing books about debating atheists, putting up a website
with articles regarding atheism, giving newspapers interviews
describing his campaign against atheists...what a GREAT way
to relegate the topic of atheism to obscurity!

I'm not sure, but they were members of the National Academy of
Science.
These are the kind of religionist that partitions between Sunday mode
and real world mode. I've met some very intelligent people like this.
But they're not the kind of religionists who have caused such a major
reaction.
I would have thought it would be impossible to be theist and eg an
astrophysicist. Yet there is Polkinghorne (particle- not astro-) who
does origins level work and IMO dishonestly gets presented to
congregations as a scientist so they think he is talking science but
talks religion.
