Intellectually, Gastrich is about on Comfort's level. He gets pwned by Barker, but doesn't realize it.<BR/><BR/>If you look around online, you'll find his attempt to answer Barker's Easter challenge. IIRC he managed to reconcile all of the accounts of the resurrection, but only by making mincemeat of the Bible, e.g., by claiming that verse 17 in some chapter comes chronologically before verse 16.arensbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251547886605570242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-75394835875423436272008-12-10T12:53:00.000-06:002008-12-10T12:53:00.000-06:00Maddog, in my world religion's class I took a year...Maddog, in my world religion's class I took a year or so ago, this was brought up, and most of the class tried desperately to make it make sense, but for every "reason" they made up, I always asked why the order of creation was different.<BR/><BR/>All I got was either ignored outright, or ignored with an exasperated look. No one was able to explain it to me.

A couple of weeks ago, he was trying to explain how the first biblical contradictions you run across (if you read the bible from the beginning) "aren't really contradictions". He performed the same amazing mental gymnastics I've seen all literalists go through when confronted with what are clearly 2 creation stories, 2 flood stories, etc.<BR/><BR/>To have him try to twist this simple sentence is pretty standard.<BR/><BR/>What shouldn't surprise me is that your post didn't pass the moderation test. I've seen some pretty raucous things make it through his filter. I actually gave him some credit for that.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, this comment is probably much more dangerous to his preaching than most "show me evidence" posts. It actually takes him on in his home stadium, and thoroughly beats him. <BR/><BR/>Sigh.

When you can successfully demolish Ray's arguments 90% of the time, you're ready to graduate to Kent Hovind level.arensbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251547886605570242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-3309560760070140602008-12-09T02:11:00.000-06:002008-12-09T02:11:00.000-06:00[Phelps]God hates Ray Comfort!Ray Comfort is going...[Phelps]<BR/><BR/>God hates Ray Comfort!<BR/><BR/>Ray Comfort is going to burn in hell for all eternity!!<BR/><BR/>And so are all you Ray Comfort Enablers!!!<BR/><BR/>[/Phelps]v_quixotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068607586238616369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-12111338497214652712008-12-08T22:20:00.000-06:002008-12-08T22:20:00.000-06:00"1.

You really don't have any firm understanding of what you're talking about."<BR/><BR/>I concur.<BR/><BR/>Isn't reading Ray Comfort's blog just unnecessary self-inflicted torture? I guess you believe you can accomplish something arguing with him. Good luck with that. <BR/><BR/>I had my fill of Ray Comfort long ago--we only live for so long and the less time I waste thinking about Ray Comfort the better.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772934680218562238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-86220187795672775872008-12-08T22:04:00.000-06:002008-12-08T22:04:00.000-06:00Yeah, I read Ray's post today and had a similar re...Yeah, I read Ray's post today and had a similar reaction. When I got to that section you quoted, I had to find a drink to sip out of ... so I could spew it out.<BR/>I couldn't believe he actually said something like that with such a straight face (or whatever the cyber-equivalent of a "straight face" is).<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be Ray Comfort and see the world as he does... just for a minute. I envision his mind as being flooded with boxes he uses for his many compartmentalizations.<BR/><BR/>-<BR/>Oh, and I second the Dr. Price comment.
