Dawkins calls Ray ‘Banana Man’ Comfort an ignorant fool
I like to lay the smack down. It’s who I am. It’s in my nature. Guys like Ray Comfort, who think the banana is proof God exists, are easy targets. The problem happens when the high profile atheists engage in this sort of behavior. It only makes these guys seem like innocent victims. “Hey, look at me, Richard Dawkins is calling me names!”
Ray is more than a fool. He’s positively mentally deranged. We don’t need Richard telling us; it’s already obvious. These guys are bottom feeders, and the only way to deal with them effectively is through satire and comedy, not through vain insults. So my advice to Richard is instead of engaging in a serious debate with the guy, parody him. In fact, screw that. I’ll do it. I don’t think Richard has the acting chops.
I’m going to go find my camcorder…

I hope he isn’t too ‘ignoral’

A banana is proof of the existence of monkeys. I think it goes like that…

As enjoyable as it would be to see Dawkins deliver a smackdown to Ray Comfort, I would suggest he not do it. As it has been observed, you should never engage in a debate with an idiot; the best possible outcome would be that you won a debate with an idiot.

Oh BTW it will be a cold day indeed if I lose sleep over a nut job and banana.

I would just like to point out, for the sake of the record, that Richard did lay down a pretty hilarious smackdown in the actual dialogue with the reporter who’s been acting as messenger boy for Comfort. The “ignorant fool” bit was just an afterthought. I thought the things Dawkins said were actually pretty funny:

those who believe in evolution and its pragmatism should remember that adolph hitler used evolution justify his “survival of the fittest” program which was his self directed attempt in his warped NAZI philosophy to persecute hate and to seek to wipe out the precious jewish people who he saw were unfit and were sub-human …he was a master eugenicist and a satanist who upheld this view in “mein kampf” -so, come you,-you ivory tower atheists- prove me wrong-…..

he used evolution to ” justify ” his survival of the fittest program
