Hovind and Comfort Love You To Hell | Atheist Reaction

- Опубліковано 9 вер 2022
- Love in a theistic sense sometimes means convincing you that you're going to hell... it's mind blowing to think that some people are convinced of things that haven't been demonstrated. Ray Comfort joins Eric Hovind, and discusses loving people so far past death, they go to hell... or something like that, and I take a look.

Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool. -- Mark Twain
Did you hear of the monk who had spent much of his life helping the less fortunate, and was asked about going to heaven at the end of his life? He asked the inquisitor whether anyone ever suffers in heaven. He told the monk that everyone in heaven exists in a state of deep joy all of the time. The monk asked if there was suffering in hell. He was told that all those in hell underwent constant suffering. The monk then replied that he no longer wanted to go to heaven. When asked why, he said that he had always tried to help those that were suffering, so if hell is where people suffer, then that is where he needed to be to try and help them. He was obviously not needed in heaven.
I might believe that christians did really care about helping others if they were to say the above. Strangely they all wanted to have their one way ticket to heaven.
Heh, I like that story. Whether true or not it's a valid question to a christian... Do you like to see people suffer? (probably no) Then if you go to heaven and you know that people were suffering eternally in hell, mostly for trivial sins, people you loved all your life, how could you possibly be happy in heaven? (this is why the religious leaders have been spinning this scenario as 'they chose to be in hell, they are where they chose to be')
That’s such a good point!
@@avi8r66 - I think a lot of religious leaders and a smaller majority of plain old Abrahamic followers get a thrill from thinking of others being punished. That's one reason the US criminal justice system is so abusive and corrupt.
@@NotGoodAtNamingThings It's a sense of feeling superior to others as much as anything else. God likes us more than you and he is gonna whoop yer butt. It's a feeling of thinking that you are above them, and they are deserving of abuse, and you have the supreme authority behind you. It's a big part of why the abrahamic religions exist.
@@avi8r66 - Agreed
'I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to 'God' are all answered at about the same 50% rate.
George Carlin
That's why the movie Sunshine is so good. The sun is beautiful and there is something spiritual about it no doubt. Lots of civilizations have worshipped the sun. That's why my favourite Band is Empire Of The Sun, cool happy music.
My brain read this in his exact voice and cadence
Don't forget about praying to Joe Pesci. Carlin got a lot of things right. Shame all of it is utterly wasted on brainless sadists like Comfort.
He actually said he doesn't pray to the sun, he doesn't want to presume on their relationship.
Joe Peshi I think is who he said he prayed to.
God bless his soul, he was great man 😂😇😊 Georg Carlin was 💯 right. 😁
Imagine spending eternity with Ray Comfort or Eric Hovind. Yikes! 😨😰😫🤢🤮
If there is a heaven and a hell and they are in one of them I will want to be in the other place!!
@@vestafreyja likewise 🙋🏼♀️

Hard pass.
To quote zefrank: "Don't kink shame."
Their book told me I and 10 generations of my descendents are doomed to hell from the get go because I was born out of wedlock. Very loving
Some translations say none of their linage would be saved... so that would be everyone?
That’s the verse that made me instantly realize how fracked up their deity is. The fact that I and my descendants would be tortured for all eternity because of something I didn’t do and had zero control over.
@@darkscot1338 Adam and Eve weren't married, so we are all f***d
@@darkscot1338 yes: when did Adam and Eve marry? and who would be the priest to do that ceremony ? god himself who just had kicked them from paradise since they were sinners ?
Ray, THANK YOU! You have inspired me to get out and help people escape from religion. I have a moral duty to save people from wasting their lives with absurd beliefs.
I remember when Stephen Hawking passed away and the cheap sense of glee Christians demonstrated as they reveled in the fact that he was now in Hell. As with all these videos posing as a well meaning plea to the non believer, they are simply reinforcing a sense of superiority to other Christians. As always, preaching to the choir.- Rich
they did that to Hitchens as well.
“Look at them! Suffering for eternity! That’s my God!”
@@DeconvertedMan -Yup
There's no love like Christian hate...
Lot of killing in that "good book" of Christian morals and values!
God allowed my wife's first child to unlock three doors and get outside to the pool, and fall in...where she drowned...she was almost two years old...though I hadn't met my wife yet, it still sends shudders up my spine every day just knowing about it...we have both become atheists thankfully and are able to process emotions in a safe and healthy way, but I marvel at my wife's strength every day...we now have two boys...her 12 yr old and our 4 mo old and life is bearable
Yep! I also lost a child.
Sorry!
I've had many believers use the "I love you so I'm warning you about Hell" schtick. They often compare it to warning me that a train is coming down the tracks and about to hit me. Isn't it great that they're letting me know about it before it's too late? To which I respond: OK. But I can actually see train tracks. And see and hear an oncoming train to verify the warning is real and take appropriate action. I'll heed their warning about God and Hell if they can give me the same, concrete evidence as I would have for that train.
Also, no one is trying to convince me that the train loves me.
@@danielbustamante832 -- good point.
Last shit bit that gave me the I love you line wasn't honest enough to disclse what sect he belonged to.
@@danielbustamante832 I see you never heard of the love train ...
@@bladerunner3314 that sounds like slang for a lot of weed consumption, so count me in lol
From a former Christian, Ray saying he'd give his favorite daughter "a coat of many colors" was a reference to the story of Joseph. My jaw dropped when he said that.
Because he was his father's favorite, Joseph's brothers stole his coat, beat him, sold him into slavery, and delivered a destroyed bloody coat to their father to convince him Joseph died.
Watch DreamWorks' Joseph: King of Dreams instead of reading it in the bible; it's almost as good as King of Egypt.
Kind of a weird story to reference when talking about your own children though imo
Pretty much everything Ray says is very weird. He just keeps yammering until people agree with him to shut him up.
@@avi8r66 Even his voice grates my ears. He's so very annoying. If I saw him in the street I'd turn around and walk away very fast. lol
@@cherylw1958 I'd pull out my phone and start videoing... Excuse me Ray, you like to ambush people with questions, mind answering some of mine?
It’s because they don’t know the book that supposedly means everything to them all that well.
Perhaps he was thinking about the Dolly Parton song…
Your comment about fear of the dark going away when your belief did really hits home with me. It's something that I always mention when I talk about how my state of mind improved when my faith died.
It’s massively eye opening when you think about it
I am going through the same thing. It is so relieving to hear that I am not the only one.
Same ❤ SO many kinds of fear simply evaporated.
my fear of the dark also disappeared when my belief did!
"Without god what is sin, if not nearly an option." that's amazing and I'm using that later
Sin is just the length of the line opposite the angle, divided by the hypotenuse.
One question (among many others) that I would love Christians to answer is this: If God is so loving, why do you fear him and how are you able to love someone that you fear?
I was taught the Bible meant fear in the sense of respect - not being afraid of.
Edit: just got to the part where he was talking about that - he was obviously taught different things than I was (I’m an atheist, now, btw). Now that I think about it, what I was taught was probably just a Sunday school teacher answering yet another of my irritating questions the best way she could think of at the time.
@@DocBree13 That's actually the common explanation. I was raised Christian and am an atheist now too, but I lost count of how many pastors and teachers said the word fear in reference to god really meant respect, not to be afraid of him. Still, it's just apologetics at the end of the day.
@@DocBree13 : actual fear or respect, when you bring the concept of hell into the mix, I think genuine fear inevitably becomes a part of the equation.
@@DocBree13 is it always thus with religion?
Twisting words and changing meanings?
Fear means fear, not respect.
Respect means respect, not fear.
Fear is fear.
Respect is respect.
By convoluting those words.
Religion has lost my respect.
@@DocBree13 If you ever run into the fear vs respect debate again, you can use this bible verse against them.
1 Peter 2:17 "Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor."
Contains both Fear and Respect in the same verse. So they really can't conflate Fear and Respect together.
I never understood the whole "fear of god" thing. I can't think of a single person I'd consider good whom I fear. If they're someone to be afraid of then, at some level, they're not a good person.
I assume
Like with many old gawds, you hope and prey they leave fuck alone, you feared, if they see what you're doing and punish you for it - like Zeus did with Sisiphos or Poseidon with Ulysses.
If you read the OT, gawd is not to be loved, but to be feared. And he had no love for anybody - he had his chosen people, but they were as screwed with him as anybody. The whole love spiel came later.
@@bladerunner3314 yeah, god tried to rebrand himself in the NY. Or at least his groupies did.
Like abused spouses
@@kellydalstok8900 That's my line when they claim it's not a religion but a relationship.
"Yeah? An abusive one. You the beaten spouse with full on Stockholm!"
He may be from New Zealand, but he’s fully embraced the life-style of the Florida Man.
Born and raised Floridian here. No, he hasn't. He's nothing like us. If you mean other foreign trash who happen to live in Florida and continue doing their shit and somehow get the monicker of "Florida man" then sure.
And when I say foreign, I mean anywhere outside of Floridian borders not just outside of the US.
@@SonOfTheDawn515 if it will make you feel better, I will trade you an off-card Ken Ham complete with boomerang and dinosaur with saddle, he even has his Ark Park boat front, for your Ray Comfort.
He's living the American dream.
Edit: Florida is a good place to evade settlements.
My head is still spinning with the turns that Comfort does from love to fear to love to fear. I believe Comfort has one big fear: that people see his crap as the dung it is and stop following him.
Bovine dung in particular. If x'tns were not so selfish they would do good stuff because it is good; not to get a pass.
I think ray would accept wives being bashed if their husbands used the same method as his imaginary god.
If you don't love me - here is a knuckle sandwich - bitch!
Yes, dear, I love you, please pass a cup for the tooth fairy and another to rinse away the blood again. That is three teeth this week.
Comfort is from New Zealand, but the Kiwi's are (rightly!) a bit embarrassed about him.
Those poor birds don't deserve the mental stress. Neither do Taz & the rest of his friends.😂
Same with Australians when it comes to Ken Ham.
There are very few people we won’t claim if they appear on anything international. You lived here for a month? They’re a Kiwi, did you know that?
Comfort? I feel like he’s been away long enough that we don’t need to think of him as a Kiwi. We can let that one go, thanks.
Speaking of the coat of many colors, they always try to play it up that it's something fancy because of the how expensive dyes were. But if it's many colors it could also just be made of scraps and rags.
Another possible translation is that it was just longer than most robes or coats. Like priestly robes, which implied that Joseph had been given religious authority over his brothers.
@@Magekind I always assumed it showed he'd been designated the heir, as older son of the favorite wife.
@@robertmiller9735 Some kind of show of favoritism, to be sure.
@@Magekind Yeah.
it could have been woven with multicolored stripes, patches of color or some sort of design or pattern. 💁🏻♀️
Thanks for doing a video on Ray Comfort. Reminded me that I had to get some bananas from the supermarket.
"How loving are you if you don't warn people about that reality? (Of hell)"
I'd argue still much more loving than if I knowingly created that reality and subjected untold billions of people to it myself.
Ray sure lies a lot for someone that think lies are an abomination that will send you to hell. I am just talking about the times he was caught creatively editing his ambush videos.
Apparently lying for god doesn't fall under the umbrella of actually lying. Lies are fine if they're in the interest of converting heathens.
@@TheDeath138 Exactly, besides, technically you could call it manipulation, so it's a different category of lying, one that the perfect god uses all the time so it's all good.
Did I just hear Ray Comfort claim to be compassionate with non-believers... who he views as evil, dishonest, and dangerous?
Compassion is *not* the word I would use, no matter how afraid of God and death he might be.
"Perfect love casts out ALL fear."(1 John 4:17) It's about time evangelicals got it straight.Is it love,or is it fear(terror)? Anybody that obeys a person out of fear is being abused.
Isn’t their behaviour exactly like that of an abused spouse?
@@kellydalstok8900 Yeah,ain't it so. But sad,also.😔
I love Eric Hovind and Ray Comfort to Death, in so far as they love anyone who doesn't believe their garbage to Death. The expression, taken in isolation, has been misused and abused for millennia. It is such a terrible use of language.
That's not a misuse of language. You just made the wrong assumption about which language they're using. You think Ray and Eric are speaking in English? That's _Theistspeak._ "God loves you" in Theistspeak means "God considers you so far beneath Himself that he doesn't even consider you at all and he'll only grudgingly exempt you from eternal torture if you beg and cower sufficiently hard enough for him to overlook the fact that you're a disgusting wretched worm"
It's why people say "There's no Hate like Christian Love." _Christian Love_ isn't a type of love, it's a marker of which language the word is from so you can translate back into English: hate.
@@EdwardHowton Absolute perfection. Cheers.
One of Ray's big go-tos is, "if you see someone's house burning, wouldn't you warn them?" All he is doing is knocking on people's doors and telling them there is a fire, without knowing if it is true or not first, because he read an old fairy tale claiming that all houses are on fire.
Yeah, no matter how many times you point out, if you're telling someone their house is on fire, there's evid4nce it's happening, Ray can't fathom why you won't believe him, despite the fact he's been given a tour and there's not even a whisp of smoke in the place.
"What is sin?" Well Tick allow me: "Sins" are the social constructs of primitive, often insular religious society's taboos, irrational fears, phobias and hang ups so ancient and far removed as to be as ridiculous as they are irrelevant.
The funny thing is that whatever a particular gospel tells you is sin, you can be pretty sure that's what *that author* thinks is sin. It's all personal hangups.
Sin is just the length of the line opposite the angle, divided by the hypotenuse.
@@margaretbarrett6087 It's a ratio that can be calculated that way, eckshuallee, m'kay :p
It amazes me how small Comfort wants the community of believers to be. It’s not enough for you to believe, nor for you to be a member of a church. It’s not enough for you to be a member of his own church. It’s a matter of you believing within his church community exactly as he believes. And even with that, you might still be condemned to hell. Hard pass.
After all, the Bible was rather clear on that subject, "Many are called, few are chosen", and all that.
But that is basically a confession that all his grandstanding as wandering "conversion" preacher is just about money for his various useless courses or pamphlets and not really to save even one soul.
Did Ray literally use "If you don't have love enough to save a child from drowning" as an example of goodness WHILE believing his God drowned every child, toddler, infant, newborn and unborn child ON THE PLANET, and he considers him doing so not just a moral act but THE most moral act physically POSSIBLE at the time ?
Does....he not think about what he says, at all ?
No he doesn't think, he is a theist after all, they don't think, they just follow their immoral book.
I always thought the phrase love you to death meant that you would love a person all the way up till they died. Meaning you won't give up on them or stop loving them for any reason. But of course, Eric has to make it all about the Bible.
I guess it’s open to interpretation. 😅
@@TheSkepTick yes, but my interpretation is the right one. 🤪
What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me, no more.
What is love?
A chemical reaction inside a person's brain! 😉
If, as Ray claims, God will cause me to do what he wants without even telling me, then I should assume God wants me to not believe in him without evidence and not jam my beliefs down other people's throats like a nosy jerk. So then, I'm doing God wants me to do, so what's his problem?
Imagine if these two gentlemen spent half as much time trying to... I dunno, find out if hell is actually friggin real, before they went about, trying to "save people" from it.
They're like those people that watch a documentary, and uncritically believe it and then go out campaigning for whatever the documentary wanted them to. The documentary crew isn't interested in whether they left counter evidence on the cutting room floor, and Ray and Eric aren't interested in whether their book was written by uneducated men who weren't even aware that germs were a thing.
Always funny when they bring up the „If your eye causes you to sin rip it out“ line, because with all the scandals of sexual assault in the church i don‘t see a lot of blind priests… 🤔
Damn. If I didn't already think that God was the bad guy of the story, Ray certainly would have convinced me of that! He definitely doesn't get to use the "your just angry at God" line after that speech. If you believe what he just said and you're NOT angry at God there's something very wrong with you.
Sounds rather like a immoral monster at best to me, with a side of pointless sadistic acts randomly
In New Zealand, people ask North Americans if they're Canadian, because Americans don't mind being taken for Canadian while the opposite is not so. They are sensitive to this because of constantly being taken for Australians.

There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is no souls sorry not sorry. And even if there was a heaven I would think of that place as being very boring. I do not want to spend all of eternity in a golden Borg Cube. With my lips press permanently up against the invisible sky wizard's colon.

Been watching alot of your videos since I just found you, nice being able to watch the videos now as they come out... Love everything you do!
Appreciate that, Shadow!
...to death?
Ray was never “told” to listen to God in the same way child me was never “told” by the cartoons to ask my parents to buy the newest toy.
Ray, I have never once sinned in my entire life and neither have you or anyone.
But you at least got something real out of it.
Gotta love the hypocrisy… for example: my mother and father did allll the things, and my father is still very, very religious. My mum died, and everyone has a lot to say about what donations my father should make, where and how he should bury her, all this stuff… but when he says “she didn’t have life insurance, I can’t do any of that,” no sympathy. No one saying they’re gonna share his GoFund, nothing. Once they found out he didn’t have a payout he could donate to the church, radio silence. Pretty interesting lol
I cannot count how many times I've heard christians say something to the affect that they believe, or follow the church, do this, or don't do that, because they're afraid of hell. Any doubts are ignored because the prospect of hell is too great. They can also dismiss the suffering of non Christians because, well, they're gonna go to hell anyways🤷♀️ or worse, they deserve hell, so anything we do here on earth to make them suffer might push them to God in their desperation, so we're actually doing them a favor. And the arrogance and smug expressions when they talk about how they'll be sitting in heaven and all those non believers, or the ones that had been deceived by the devil and 'just wouldn't listen to the actual righteous ones like us, will finally see how wrong they were and they'll regret it, but it'll be too late!' how is that a righteous attitude?
I used to believe the argument that as a Christian, I wasn't missing out on anything and at least i wasn't risking hell. Now I see how much I was missing out on. And I don't mean all the sinful things I want to do 🙄 I mean even compassion and loving people that christianty made me hurtful or closed off towards. Even though I always tried to be loving, I still preached hurtful things to 'sinners' and deep down, I couldn't really feel comfortable having relationships with people I feared would go to hell, or worse, lead me there. I wish I could apologize to so many people, and wish I hadn't held back from truly knowing and loving them
I recently started watching atheist videos and I am already fed up with these christian nonsense, but it is always good to watch your videos as they make me laugh a few times.
I’m so glad to finally hear someone use initialisms and acronyms correctly, most people use the word acronym for both and they’re not. It’s been one of my pet peeves since 5 grade when my teacher, Miss Barber, brought it to our attention. What amazes me now is the number of intelligent people who get it wrong.
I’ll finish with love the show and I look forward to it every Saturday, keep the great content coming, thanks.
The only difference in their definitions is one is pronounced as a word, the other as individual letters. And many of the ones Tick referred to are used both ways, or seldom pronounced at all. The reason so many intelligent people don't bother with the distinction is that a) it's a pretty trivial distinction, and b) it doesn't necessarily apply anyway.
@@jursamaj Au contraire, it does matter and it does apply, it’s like you’re saying there’s an apple and an orange but I’m going to call them both apples because they’re both round. So calling acronyms and initialisms the same because they’re both a series of initials is crazy. I think the main reason people get it wrong is that they just don’t know the difference, I’ve discussed this difference with multitudes of people on UA-cam who haven’t even heard the term Initialism. But if you want to use the terms interchangeably that’s all on you, have fun with that.
@@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr. The problem here is that for most people, the distinction of 'pronounced as a word' vs. 'pronounced as individual letters' is a distinction they simple don't care about, and you want them to care. For them, they want to talk about apples, but you want them to be specific what variety of apple they mean. For their purposes, they simply don't care, nor do they need to.
The "doesn't apply" part is easy to demonstrate: LOL. Is is a word or 3 letters. I've heard people pronounce it both ways. But more often, it isn't pronounced at all. It's only meant to be read, not said. For a word that isn't pronounced at all, 'pronounced as a word' vs. 'pronounced as individual letters' simply doesn't apply.
@@jursamaj The bottom line is, if it’s an initialism don’t call it an acronym, just like you wouldn’t call an orange an apple, I can’t make it any simpler.
@@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr. The people you're talking about don't *care.* I can't make *that* any simpler. For them, all they care is it's 'fruit'. Since nobody provided them with such a word that covers both kinds of 'fruit', they picked one and went with it.
Plus you're ignoring the fact that the distinction between the 2 simply doesn't apply to purely written text, not meant to be pronounced. In that instance, neither word truly applies. Again, with no relevant word, they re-used the nearest existing word.
In both cases, this is how language evolves. Dictionaries are *descriptive,* no *prescriptive.*
All I make of this spiel so far is god will really really hurt you lots and lots if you don't really really love it lots and lots, because it really really loves you lots and lots..

Thanks! Ray Comfort gives me the creeps.
Great video, mate. Love your content style. Nice one!
This video is disturbing. It's bringing back so many memories of being a Christian. When I was a Christian, I was continuously scared of messing up and getting sent to hell. I knew the right answers to those fears. I went to Christian high school and college, and memorized all the right answer to all those questions, but in the end the god I read about in the bible was the terrifying god these people are describing and I was constantly afraid to slip up and get sent to hell.
I have found how to speak with every theist. Just say to them: "Look, I hear what you're saying, and I respect your right in saying it. In other words, I really appreciate you giving me your 'opinion'!"
11:37 Ray Comfort has a point, if you read the old testament God is an absolute monster.
14:02 he says lying is a sin but he sure does do it and awful lot.
The things written in the Bible are exactly that what was important for the people who wrote it ( betw. 300 and 1000 AC) or translated it and what they thought would sound good for a religion leader. Noone of the NT writers ever met that person called Jesus.
I mean, being an American, there are a lot of Canadian UA-camrs that I had no idea weren’t American until they mentioned it. Some are easier to tell than others.
Yeshua also allegedly stated that it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven, and commanded that his followers give away all their possessions to the poor, but I'm willing to bet that neither of these schmucks, or the prominent Christian family members of these schmucks, would be willing to zero out their bank accounts.
I sure as hell know that Daddy Hovind has strong feelings against giving unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.
Ray approached me in the street it would be oh just F&%K off.
Sin? Not only yes, but hell yes!
Poor dear Ray. He''ll join us all in infinite nothingness. Meantime, he doesnt' fool anyone...well, except himself and those few who buy into his co job. May it give him comfort (pun intended) while he lives. That's all the comfort it'll ever give him.

Not that I ever want to put myself on the same side as a Hovind on anything, but I have a different take on that verse than “kill myself.” I’ve always thought of brothers-in-arms or parents: a soldier throwing him/herself on a grenade to save their friends, or a parent running in front of a speeding car to save their child, for example.
What a sad indictment of the people Ray Comfort knows. If I knew I had two weeks to live and had to choose what to do, even with free prostitutes on offer, I would spend those two weeks creating as many happy memories for my friends and family as possible instead of freaking out about what may or may not happen to me when I'm gone. See, I love my family and friends, and I know they exist, so that's where my time would go.
Love your channel!
Funny, I always thought " I love you to death" simply meant that you would love someone until they died, or you did.
They offered some thoughts on what they would do if they were the devil, which sounded like a fun hypothetical, so here's mine.
If I were the devil, what I would do is start a religion that proclaimed me to be the good guy, and spread it to as many people as possible.
A religion that would support slavery, subjugate women and minorities, punish minor "sins" brutally, demand evil, oppose knowledge and education, teach that love between two men is evil and must be destroyed, was rife with contradictions to create schisms and internecine violence...
Actually, I'd start several such religions, so that they could have holy wars and crusades against each other.
You might be able to spot the followers of such religions by them being so fucked up that they can't decide whether they love or fear their god, can't distinguish between kindness and hatred, attack people for the heinous sin of loving, and do so all with the assurance that they're due a divine reward for all the harm they're causing.
Christians like this don't "love" people, they only say they do, because they are told loving random strangers they know nothing about makes them super virtuous. It's not actually a demonstration of their affinity for someone, it's just performative gesturing to prove to oneself how good and moral one is and stroking one's ego.
Since he seems to be so keen on teaching the nature of the old testament christian god, I'm surprised he didn't call out sins of eating shellfish, or wearing mixed fabrics, or taking too many steps on the Sabbath. I guess god wasn't serious about those sins, but watch out for those those sexual sins: they will land you straight in hell.
I wonder if I'm allowed to take to many steps on the Sabbath? Huh? 🤣😂
you missed using Blood and the often left-out part AND FAT as they can only be used as part of a sacrifice to god.
He seems to obsessed with pornography. And homosexuality.
No idea why…
Wowwwwww such craziness from grown ass adults!
2:40 self-sacrifice. Like a guy jumping on top of a grenade to save his buddies in the foxhole with him.
The only thing truly terrifying is grown men letting their lives be consumed by Iron Age fairy tales.
At ~ 7:50 Comfort mentions giving cancer treatment to those who need it. I have rarely known clergy to GIVE anything. Ambrose Bierce (Devil's Dictionary) says (not exact quotation) that a clergyman is a fellow who looks after our spiritual affairs as a means of bettering his temporal ones.
It is quite simple. God was created by mankind not the other way around. END OF STORY
yup
Question to Ray.. who created the cancer you talk about?
And why won't the creator of this disease, and all diseases click his fingers, remove it from our existence and end the misery and suffering?
Because he loves us 😉
Same. I stopped believing in supernatural beings and I am not scared of darkness anymore. 😄😄
I'm no body language expert, but did you notice how Ray gave a slight pause each time he mentioned pornography? Perhaps 'fixing the chicken coop' is a euphemism.
Ohhh. Like ‘choking a chicken’?
Perhaps
If the one who offer you the solution is the one that created the threat in the first places
Is called blackmail
A synopsis of Comfort's methodology.
"I love you so much that I'll scare the hell out of you."
And if you don't continue to be terrified of your "perfect" deity for the rest of your life, you aren't doing it right.
The picture he paints of his God, is not one I would wish on my worst enemy.
his version of God sounds like an abusive spouse.
6:23 she's definitely older than her 30s. She's been married for at least 25 years, has a kid in their mid-20s, and is a grandmother.
And she looks over 40 anyway.
Hell has all the great tunes and most interesting people. I'm looking forward to it.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!!
That is honestly all I hear when I hear when Ray talks about what do you have to do for this loving god.
God doesn't want u to love or fear him but rather fear him for how much he loves u to send u to a eternal burning pit for simple limited crimes against a infinite being with all power
"16 times 2? 34"
This sums up so beautifully why nobody should listen to creationists when it comes to science generally.
Having David's kid suffer for several days and die to punish David doesn't seem morally perfect
I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT! I FOUND THE IMAGINARY CURE TO THE MADE UP DISEASE!!!
I always thought Ray Comfort was Australian ( as am I ) to learn that he is actually a Kiwi fills me with joy and a great sense of relief . Phew! It's their fault not ours . How do you explain that Kiwis ? What have you got to say for yourselves . ( hehehe )
I imagine that they will say: ‘What about Ken Hamm then, eh?’
@@lidbass You beat me to it...
Jesus also said you can't follow him unless you hate your family and even yourself. True love that is.
Jesus sounds like he was making a lot of this stuff up as he went along
@@TheSkepTick Or the anonymous, educated Greek speaking and writing authors (not illiterate Aramaic speakers like the disciples would've been) writing decades after his death in omniscient 3rd person style, were putting words into his mouth. 😉

“I Love You To Death,” was a great Tracy Ullman movie.
Matt Powell has an inflatable banana in his backyard he calls Dr. Peel!
I have come face to face with "The Prince of Darkness ". Ozzfest, originally lineup! Belting! 🤟
I've never heard of someone texting love you to death as an acronym or not. Is that a popular thing?
As many people have said before, if believers think the only thing stopping them being evil, say raping and killing, then it's them that have a problem. I don't find myself wanting to hurt people despite the lack of theistic guidance.
Ray Comfort the discount laundry conditioner 😉
Gosh, I love TheSkepTick and his thick Scottish accent.
Pahahahaha.
I always thought that the determining factor in where you end up was whether you accept Jesus as your savior and fully/sincerely repent of your sins. Pretty sure there's something in the Bible that talks about not being saved by works alone; if that is true, then you also cannot be damned by works alone.
"Skeptizism is the first step to[ward] the trueth"…
