Atheists lose one
Ray Comfort was preaching one Sunday when he noticed a young man sitting in the front row.He seemed nervous about being there so after the service he asked the man what was wrong.He told him he was there to screw up the service so his college buddies would buy him a case of beer.Ray noticed something in his hands and asked him what it was,he opened his hand and showed him the Bible he was reading.He gave his life to Christ that day.

Damn, and I thought he'd be holding a banana.
So... are we supposed to be shamed that a college kid stupid enough to want to screw up a church service is also stupid enough to be convinced of anything by Ray Comfort?
Stupid is as stupid does, I say.

You'll excuse me if I don't immediately believe your story. It's the context, really.
So, like... seriously, Will... I heard that there was this guy once who was eating baby kittens and raping women for breakfast, and he was in this hotel room, and he opened the Gideon's Bible, and it opened right up to a verse that said, "Thou shalt not rape women and eat kittens before lunch." The thing is, there's no verse in the Bible like that. God put it there, just so he could see it. So you know what he did?
He switched to dog.

LOL, that's sounds like some of the bullshit stories the gideons would tell us when they would visit our church back in the day.

If god can do anything, can he make a hot dog so big even he can't eat all of it?
Ooooohhhh!
Um, wait, couldn't he have just waited until after noon?
My favourite story of someone following biblical instructions is "The Year of Living Biblically" by A.J. Jacobs. An amazing read. The part where he tries to "stone" people with tiny pebbles so they won't notice is hilarious.

Yeah. Atheists "lost" one. I can't help thinking about dodgeball, back in primary school. We used to send the kid who couldn't play over to the other side. I think atheists "lost" one in the same way. The average intelligence of atheists went up a smidgin. Strangely enough, so did the average intelligence of Ray Comfort fans.

Who's got that kind of time?

OMG! He didn't even have to do his ''banana'' bit ?!

Any bets Ray signs that kid's paycheck?

Are you kidding?! Have you not seen his banana argument for Creationism?! It's like, so convincing!!1!one!!!

That sounds like a variation of the Darwin deathbed conversion story. Complete bullshit until proven otherwise. All Jesus stories follow this same heart tugging format.

Our bets are similar. You're betting that it's bullshit and I'm betting that it's dishonest bullshit.

I've heard a hundred accounts like this and rolled my eyes at all of them. No exception here.
Oh, fuck all this rational thinking and antitheistic shenanigans, I'm now convinced that there MUST be a god.
How else could that story have bought a tear to my eye?

Who knew another religious leader could go down faster than Ted Haggard in a hotel. I suppose since it was a perfect fit, it was perfectly designed for it!
Theism is why we can't have nice things.
This one time I used to be an atheist and I really hated god and stuff. I used to yell at the top of my lungs how much I hated him (you know, so he could hear all the way up in heaven). So one day I was standing out side a church handing out flyers for free abortion lessons and telling people about my belief in darwinism when I suddenly succumbed to a heart attack. All I remember was seeing a man who was about 30 years old with long brown hair and a beard. This man touched me and I was healed. I then knew it was jesus saving me. He saved me from the heart attack because of the special plan he had for me and all of you and he knew that I needed to live my life so that I could fulfil his plan. Then I felt god's grace and became a christian. From that day onward I have loved god and accepted jesus everyday.
Sorry atheists looks like you lost another one.
Please indicate on this sketch where that man touched you.
Can we ship this dude a rape kit, STAT!

Atheists don't believe in god (and hence heaven). God hating and screaming at said god isn't what a rational athiest does. Theophobia (meaning hatred or fear of god) is not atheism.
Remember how you figured out there is no Santa? Well, their god is just like Santa. They just haven’t figured out he’s not real yet.
