Return of Ray Bashing! Yay!

Inspired by a new reader pointing out that Heretic's Altar is the #1 hit when you Google "Ray Comfort is retarded," I am bringing back my Ray-Bashing posts. I'll try to hit this place with at least one a week. The hard part is trying to figure out which is the worst of Ray's atrocities against reason and language each week. Seriously, this guy is that bad. Here you go, enjoy:

Dear Ray,

Thanks for telling all of us stupid atheists what we know...or what you think we know...or what you say we can't possibly know...or what you are pretty sure we aren't certain of...or...you see where this kind of "reasoning" is going right? It's all nonsense, Mr. Comfort. To refresh everyone's memories, here is what one of your recent posts says:
As a professing atheist, you can’t be "sure" of anything. You don’t know that there is no God. You don’t know if Hell is a reality. All you have is your beliefs (faith) that God and Hell don’t exist. You have faith in what you believe. You can’t be sure that the sky is blue (it’s not), or that the sun rises (it doesn’t). You don’t know for certain that the blue or the red that you see is actually the same colors that others see. You don’t know if evolution is true, or even if a rock is "hard," because you have no concrete definition of what "hard" is, other than what a dictionary tells you and what you have come to believe from the beliefs of others. For all you know, you might be insane and have twisted perceptions of what others see as reality. That’s why knowing God is such a wonderful thing. It’s because He knows the thoughts of everyone that has ever existed, and He is ever-present on every planet to determine if there are or are not green leprechauns.

First of all, genius, I don't know one single atheist worth his/her salt that takes anything for granted because that is what one out-dated book (with fifty+ different translations over millenia) has told them. You run around in circles trying to...hmm I don't want to use the word "prove" here because nothing you have ever said amounts to proof of anything but your own pathetic grasp of humanity...You run around in circles trying to convince people that an optical illusion is proof that nothing is true but your bible. You use some pre-school style philosophy to try and tell us that what we see may not be what we see. And you do all of this without ever considering your own glaring contradictions that everything you say applies to your OWN FUCKING BIBLE! Wow, someone show me a louder, more self-deluded and annoying street preacher...I just don't believe it's possible.

Please, Ray, put down the Kool-Aid and tell me how one self-contradictary book can be "true," while things like rocks being hard can be subject to interpretation. If I wouldn't get arrested for it, I would love to show you what the "concrete definition of 'hard' is," preferably with concrete.

Finally, Ray Comfort, aside from being the true definition of a religious nutcase (yeah "true definition," I said it), you have made one of the same tired old arguments that atheists are sick of hearing...For some reason (there I go using that "R" word around your name again), all your type seem to think that the burden of proof rests with us. *sigh* We are not trying to prove anything fantastic. We are not positing the existence of the supernatural. We learn. We ask questions. We never take the first or easiest answer as truth. We ask more questions of more sources and are never satisfied with "the gist of things."

Real atheists do not deal in absolutes when it comes to things outside of our understanding. I have written and read plenty of poetry and I can absolutely say that a sonnet is fourteen lines of prose. Wow...I do know something. Here is something I cannot absolutely say: Ray Comfort is a retarded monkey-man with half of a brain. I just don't have your IQ scores, MRIs or genetic sequence...but I can guess...I suppose that makes it something I can take on faith, right?

One more thing (I know I wrote "Finally" earlier, but I wasn't absolutely finished), "For all you know, you might be insane and have twisted perceptions of what others see as reality." If I could, I would pray to your god that this be the case and that you are just a psychotically induced delusion...But, I don't have much faith in that.
