Atheists obviously exist. Additionally, evangelical Christianity is hardly the only faith. God, if there is such a being, would be absolutely aware of persons of other persuasions. The title is nonsensical, insulting and degrading not just to atheists, but to persons of other faiths and denominations. It is especially so expressed in the form of a bumper sticker on a car parked on my street every day. The Pope recently proclaimed that God disapproves of evangelicals, and evangelicals objected to that, but at least the Pope did not suggest that God questions evangelicals' right to exist.
The Gods Don't Believe in Monotheists Aug 1, 2007
By Ray Comfort's logic, everyone should be an agnostic who believes in an infinite number of gods. If the atheism requires omniscience (not that I personally accept Ray's definition of atheism) then doesn't monotheism require the same omniscience? "There is no Baal" or "there is no Flying Spaghetti Monster" are also absolute statements. By Ray's logic, there are no monotheists.
Knowing that a lack of belief is harder to argue against than an outright denial of God, Ray decided to ignore the former and attack the latter. He would have at least been able to knock down his own straw man if he had just claimed that atheism is unjustifiable. Instead, he had to say that atheism is *impossible* and hence, he fails on yet another logical level. He basically says "You cannot justify that belief, therefore you must not truly believe it." Holding a belief and justifying a belief don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. Having met people of many different religions, I know this very well.
Great book that proves God Jun 28, 2007
This book is incredible. I take that back, Comfort just lays the truth out in the best way that it can be laid out, because athiests will always have excuses. Comfort tackles many excuses atheists use and proves them wrong.
Great book
Gotta love this guy May 1, 2007
Whatever else you might say about Ray Comfort, he's clearly got an ego on 'im. Whatever reason Ron Barrier may have had to decide not to debate Comfort, it's hard for me to believe that fear of the arguments contained here was one of them.
More likely, Ron felt that it was better to let Comfort's book stand without comment.
I suspect that a lot of Christians believe that atheists' numbers are rising because people like Richard Dawkins are putting out books that hit the bestseller lists and change a lot of minds. Frankly, I doubt that. I'd be willing to bet that almost everyone who read 'The God Delusion' was either already an atheist, or would NEVER be one. No, the reason that atheists' numbers are rising is because smart people hear the things Christians habitually say, and think "Wow, Christianity just seems ridiculous/dishonest."
So a book like this probably creates more atheists than a book like Dawkins'. After all, Ray Comfort is the man who brought us the infamous Banana Argument, an argument so completely idiotic that there's really not much point in refuting it -- if you've got any common sense at all, you can see for yourself what's wrong with it. If there's any trap that atheists tend to fall into, it's this: we feel compelled to respond to stupid arguments and explain exactly why they're stupid. We shouldn't. We don't need to. Smart people can recognize stupidity for themselves. And stupid people? Well, Christianity is welcome to them.
So, to readers of this book, you're in for a treat. The debate over God's existence has raged for thousands of years, but Ray Comfort says he has the answer. No ego there...
Oh, and Mr. Comfort? I just want to say thanks for the Banana Argument. We had a lot of fun with it.
Good Proof for Christians Dec 28, 2006
I would say that this book is a better "faith-building" book for people who are already christians. Ray Comfort presents his logical arguements in a way that would appeal and make sense to a Christian, and it has greatly helped me. however, I doubt that an atheist would buy into his arguements. this book would be more for beginners.
