Ray Comfort is planning on changing his "Atheist Central"

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.
