IT"S FUNNY HOW WE ASSSOCIATE THE WORD ATHEIST WITH ITELLECTUAL CAUSE IT"S REALLY THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

When it gets to the banana part, I dare you not to laugh.

I have seen it before, but it is classic. All the blatant sexual innuendo aside, I think Ray just made a case for evolution, not God. I mean, isn't the monkey's mouth perfectly sized for the banana as well? I suppose that since bananas are so perfect for both the human and the monkey, there must be a link! Of course, I am simply trying to show the ludicrous nature of Ray's logic to begin with, for it is easy for these kinds of Christians to say anything they wish, then tack on "and that proves God's existence" to the end of it.

Well yeah. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense. He just throws any modicum of reason to the winds.

DoubleFacedJanus, you keep saying we're making it sound like the Christian argument is so EASY to just say, it's not like we're just saying stuff, we do have an actual document we go by even if you do spit on it. You can say that for any argument. Anybody can say there is no God and say not being able to see him is proof. See? Two can play that one. I do have to admit though, that banana thing was funny. Even Kirk had to keep his composure.

I spent my entire childhood growing up. What a waste.

reply

Your document is rather malleable, always being stretched in a thousand different directions by it's followers so that it always proves without any doubt this variation or that.

"You can say that for any argument. Anybody can say there is no God and say not being able to see him is proof. See? Two can play that on"

Not really. There are lots of things we cannot see, yet are still measurable and therefore provable by scientific method. It's funny how all things "god" transcend explanation. In fact, it's quite convenient, wouldn't you say?

Anyhow, the banana theory was the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. It was better than any comedy.

I personally think they are made of evil, but thats because I hate bannanas, and always have.

I dunno how many of you have seen the debunking video from thesmokingnug.com, but apparently bananas were domesticated by Papua New Guineans thousands of years ago.

...owned FTW.

Both Ray and Todd have explained many times on the radio show that the banana thing was satire. It was never meant to be taken seriously.

Funny that atheists don't get that, and then turn around and call us idiots.

reply

Yes, it was satire. It's funny how your belief in these guys blinds you to the obvious. Ray made a mistake, so instead of making very lame excuses, just suck it up and admit it.

Thank you for finally admitting that.

It has nothing to do with my "belief". It has to do with the fact that they've explained this many times.

I think the only mistake they made was overestimating the intelligence of atheists.

Like I said, it's ironic that atheists call us idiots, but then turn around and aren't even smart enough to know a piece of satire when they hear it.

Kind of like the geniuses involved in the "blasphemy challenge" who are so proud of themselves because they think they've blasphemed the Holy Spirit, but are too dumb to know that just saying "I don't believe in the Holy Spirit" isn't the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

From http://dictionary.reference.com/...

Satire - Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity


Can you tell me exactly what Ray was attempting to disprove with his banana story? The entire time, he is presenting his banana theory as "proof" that god exists, which goes against the very nature of a satire. Where was the caustic wit? What was he doing to attack? He was seeking to expose what exactly? If an atheist presented this exact argument as an example of how silly the believer's proof of god is, then it would clearly be satire.

You are nothing but an apologist for Ray...and not a very good one at that.

I'll say. A good apologist would not disagree with him and take him to task the way I have.

A good apologist wouldn't admit that he never watches Comfort's TV show, as I have in another thread.

When he's right, I'll stand by him and when he's unfairly attacked, I'll stick up for him. But I don't by any means give him a pass about anything.

Like I said, they have every last show archived. You can go to the website and hear it for yourself.

reply

"When he's right, I'll stand by him and when he's unfairly attacked"

And when he's wrong, you'll make excuses for him...such as claiming that he was being satirical instead of simply accepting the fact that he made a huge blunder in logic. This in apparent in your lack of understanding what a satire even is.

"Like I said, they have every last show archived. You can go to the website and hear it for yourself"

I've watched plenty of his shows, but thanks anyhow. If Ray states that it was a satire, then he shares you're inability to understand what a satire is, making himself look even more buffoonish than before.

Actually, I never claimed he was being satirical. To be perfectly honest, I've never even heard the banana thing. If you'll go back and read my posts, you'll see that I didn't say it was satire or not, but that both Ray and Todd have explained numerous times on the radio show that it is satire.

They say it's satire and, given the nature of their show, which often includes satire, I see no reason not to take their word for it.

I've watched plenty of his shows, but thanks anyhow.


Really? You watch a radio show? That's interesting.

reply

"Actually, I never claimed he was being satirical"

In making the statement, "Funny that atheists don't get that, and then turn around and call us idiots", you agreed with him. Then, you later stated, "Thank you for finally admitting that", in reference to my sarcastic comment that it was indeed satire. What exactly is your point in splitting hairs again?

"I've never even heard the banana thing"

Then why are you here backing up his claim to it being satire?

"If you'll go back and read my posts"

I just did...you are backing a claim about an argument you now state to know nothing about.

"you'll see that I didn't say it was satire or not, but that both Ray and Todd have explained numerous times on the radio show that it is satire"

Except that you followed up with a statement where you agreed with their claim of satire and used the term "us", referring to yourself. It would seem that you are now arguing just for the sake of arguing.

"Really? You watch a radio show? That's interesting"

Radio or not, how does that change the fact that if Ray states that it was a satire, then he shares you're inability to understand what a satire is, making himself look even more buffoonish than before?

reply

Because I don't like to see people unfairly and dishonestly attacked.

I just did...you are backing a claim about an argument you now state to know nothing about.


I don't have to know the argument to believe that the person making the argument is credible when he explains his purpose behind the argument.

Except that you followed up with a statement where you agreed with their claim of satire and used the term "us", referring to yourself.


That's right. I am a Christian. Therefore, I am a part of the "us" group.

It would seem that you are now arguing just for the sake of arguing.

Radio or not, how does that change the fact that if Ray states that it was a satire, making himself look even more buffoonish than before?


Well, first of all, the fact that you don't know it's a radio show and you can't "watch" radio shows that you have not heard the show.

Second, I see nothing buffoonish about his claim. It is a show that often uses satire and I believe that the explanation that both he and Todd gave makes more sense than the claims that you're making.

In addition, I used to correspond with both Todd and Hip Hop and one of the girls in that ministry (sorry, I forget her name) on a regular basis before the show took off and they got too busy so I have a good idea about their character.

I've also seen your character in this thread and you seem to be more interested in attacking Christians just for the sake of attacking Christians, than you are in knowing the truth.

reply

"Because I don't like to see people unfairly and dishonestly attacked"

When did that happen? Ray made a very stupid, ill-informed claim and was called out for it.

"I don't have to know the argument to believe that the person making the argument is credible when he explains his purpose behind the argument"

Which is why your points are laughable at best. You don't have a clue what you are talking about, hence your blind support of the "satire" claim. An argument has to make sense, or else it does nothing more than make the individual look like a fool.

"That's right. I am a Christian. Therefore, I am a part of the "us" group.

It would seem that you are now arguing just for the sake of arguing"


No, I pointed out a contradiction in your claim, one that you failed to adequately address. You agreed that it was satire, then pretended like you didn't.

"Well, first of all, the fact that you don't know it's a radio show and you can't "watch" radio shows that you have not heard the show"

If you say so.

"Second, I see nothing buffoonish about his claim"

You cannot see anything about his claim since you admittedly haven't even heard it for yourself ("To be perfectly honest, I've never even heard the banana thing"). Being clueless about something doesn't give you a magic leg to stand on.

"I believe that the explanation that both he and Todd gave makes more sense than the claims that you're making"

Emphasis on the word "believe", since you don't KNOW anything about it and blindly play the role of apologist.

"I used to correspond with both Todd and Hip Hop and one of the girls in that ministry (sorry, I forget her name) on a regular basis before the show took off and they got too busy so I have a good idea about their character"

So they do your thinking for you? They say Ray was being satirical and that's enough for you, eh?

"I've also seen your character in this thread and you seem to be more interested in attacking Christians just for the sake of attacking Christians, than you are in knowing the truth"

What "truth"? The reason I say what I do is because your claims are suspect at best. Sorry, it takes more than proclamations to present a valid point of view, yet that is all believers can ever manage to do. Belief doesn't equate to fact no matter how hard you'd like for it to. Your obtuse replies have done nothing more than galvanize my low opinion of christians.

Yeah riiight...... a satire...

Comfort is a complete moron who probably doesn't know the meaning of the word satire.

Like DFJ said, he made a very stupid claim, got called on it and now is trying to save face.

reply

"To be perfectly honest, I've never even heard the banana thing" ... Then why are you here arguing about it when you haven't seen it?? I'm a Christian and this drivel about the banana thing being a satire is plain silly. At least I have seen it and know what I am talking about. Seriously Mike, are you just here in a vain attempt to make Christians look silly?
