Ray Comfort:
While I do not approve of mockery as valid debate (it shows that the mocker cannot really support his position) atheists are not mocking your deity. Consider -- many people mock the idea of the Loch Ness monster. It doesn't mean they are mocking the monster itself. The monster, presumably, doesn't exist. They are mocking the idea expressed. Similarly, atheists are mocking an idea you express. And you shouldn't have a problem with it because you don't even believe in the idea.
Now, I know that somebody will come back and say that Ray does believe, is sincere, etc. But it is not true. "After an experience I had with an atheist yesterday at Huntington Beach, this will be the end of Atheist Central, as we have known it." He is announcing that he plans to shield himself. If he really believed that he was taking the "persecutions" on behalf of Jesus and that he would be rewarded for it after death, he would do no such thing. In all likelihood, he has decided that it is eating into his bottom line. That's why he is making changes.

A response to Beth that largely concerns the misdeeds of Ray from Living Waters "Ministries."
Beth:
"You, Pvblivs, have no idea what you are saying."
I know exactly what I am saying. Ray is running a for-profit operation. But he pretends that it is non-profit so that people let their guard down and so that he gets tax breaks. There is nothing wrong with running a for-profit operation. But pretending it is non-profit is fraud.
"You are in such a dark place that you can’t see any light in others."
Projecting much? I do not say "there is none that does good." If I did, it would indicate that I couldn't see any light in others.
"The gesture was to convince 'atheists' that he loves them. He does."
No, he does not. If he did, he would not make such copious use of the delete button. For example he deleted my previous response containing the above criticism. He didn't try to argue that I was in error. (He knows full well that my statement is true.) He deleted it so his followers wouldn't see it. That is not love. He may, indeed, be trying to convince people that he loves them. But that just means he is trying to create an illusion.
