Ray Comfort cytaty

Ray Comfort – amerykański pastor, ewangelista i apologeta pochodzenia nowozelandzkiego. Założyciel organizacji Living Waters Publications i The Way of the Master .

Napisał kilkadziesiąt książek na tematy ateizmu, kreacjonizmu, ewangelizacji i zbawienia, m.in.: „God Doesn't Believe in Atheists” i „Evolution: A Fairy Tale for Grownups” . Szczególnego rodzaju popularność przyniosło mu nagranie zamieszczone w serwisie YouTube, wyśmiewane później przez jego krytyków. Występujący u boku Kirka Camerona Comfort zaprezentował w nim banana jako dowód na istnienie inteligentnego projektu: jego „dopasowanie” do ludzkiej ręki i łatwość zdejmowania skórki miałyby być dowodem na zaprojektowanie przez Boga.

W 2009 roku rozesłał jako prezent do amerykańskich szkół przygotowaną przez siebie edycję dzieła Charlesa Darwina O powstawaniu gatunków z usuniętymi czterema rozdziałami zawierającymi prezentację dowodów na teorię ewolucji, poprzedzoną za to obszernym wstępem swojego autorstwa z prezentacją poglądów kreacjonistów.

W 2011 roku Comfort napisał i wyprodukował film dokumentalny o nazwie „180: Changing the Heart of a Nation”. Film był krytykowany przez The Huffington Post za porównanie aborcji do holocaustu. Wikipedia

Ray Comfort: Cytaty po angielsku

“Atheists don't hate fairies, leprechauns, or unicorns because they don't exist. It is impossible to hate something that doesn't exist. Atheists — like the painting experts hated the painter — hate God because He does exist.”

“Interestingly, Islam acknowledges the reality of sin and hell, and the justice of God, but the hope it offers is that sinners can escape God’s justice if they do religious works. God will see these, and because of them, hopefully he will show mercy—but they won’t know for sure. Each person’s works will be weighed on the Day of Judgment and it will then be decided who is saved and who is not—based on whether they followed Islam, were sincere in repentance, and performed enough righteous deeds to outweigh their bad ones. So Islam believes you can earn God’s mercy by your own efforts. That’s like jumping out of the plane and believing that flapping your arms is going to counter the law of gravity and save you from a 10,000-foot drop. And there’s something else to consider. The Law of God shows us that the best of us is nothing but a wicked criminal, standing guilty and condemned before the throne of a perfect and holy Judge. When that is understood, then our “righteous deeds” are actually seen as an attempt to bribe the Judge of the Universe. The Bible says that because of our guilt, anything we offer God for our justification (our acquittal from His courtroom) is an abomination to Him, and only adds to our crimes. Islam, like the other religions, doesn’t solve your problem of having sinned against God and the reality of hell.”

“The Bible says that the earth is immovable. It cannot be moved. So now is your chance to prove your point. Run outside and move the earth. Perhaps you and your friends could jump on it, or find a rocky outcrop and push it together. Maybe after that little experiment you will concede that the earth is immovable.”
