My Christian Diary

As a Christian, I find much of what I've seen from Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron problematic - in particular the banana argument, which shows they are willing to talk about matters such as science about which they have not informed themselves adequately. This sort of ill-informed apologetics does more harm than good to the reputation of Christianity.

I agree with James. I love my Jesus, but I find Kirk Cameron's approach to evangelism to be disturbing, abrasive, and ineffective. I think there are many godlier ways to share the love of Christ with others.

as an atheist i find Comforts approach to theistic debate to be absolutely ridiculous...I challenged him to a debate formerly months ago and he never answered...but the arguments i have read from him are just silly childsplay arguments that most intelligent christians, much less atheists can destroy out of hand. He also has this aweful arrogance that just makes listening to him or reading his work a clear pain...and he also treats Atheists like the scum of the earth whilst trying to tell us how much God loves us.... he is ludicrous IMO

WOW! this guy is amazing! he is just simply amazing. he totaly sumed everything up!

WOW. all these other guys are nut jods to not see how true Rays message is. talk about not too smart.

I assume that last post was intended as a joke. "Rays" without the apostrophe, "jods", a failure to capitalize the "a" and "t" where appropriate, and then commenting on others not being smart... :-)

James, Matt, and Akirah,
I appreciate your comments, but I disagree with you. I will be addressing it all in my post.

God Bless You!

Hello Donna and All,

While the video isn't my style and while I don't claim to know Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron (I will check into them more), I can say that the timing of my seeing the video was, well, timely. I used the thought's it brought to mind to respond to those who may believe in mere deathbed lip service as opposed to professing followed by bringing forth.

Also, let me say that "smart is as smart does." You know, many people think that the writers of "Forest Gump" originated that saying. I personally remember the saying from 50+ years back. I don't know the original source, but I sure subscribed to it over 50 years ago and still do.

Anyway, Donna, I'm sure you find my theology foreign to you, but I thank you for the sincerity with which your blog comes across. I don't think anyone would be justified in claiming that you are attempting to fool anyone including yourself nearly as much as you are truly trying to be good.

I go with my feelings. I trust they are from God now.

Blessings to you, and even though I'm far from a militarist, may God protect your husband. I hope he becomes a pacifist one day.

I know you know that I don't mean that to hurt your feelings or harm either your husband or you in anyway.

Love, Peace, and Truth,
