Ray Comfort (born December 5, 1949) is a leading Christian apologist, who coincidentally enough, has a lot of apologizing to do. He has written large numbers of humorously bad books on evolution and theology, including Evolution: A Fairy Tale for Grownups, and How to Know God Exists: Scientific Proof of God. His latest book, You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence, But You Can't Make Him Think peed itself when it saw Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion [1]. Its title was also a blatant ripoff of an earlier work by Kinky Friedman.Since then, atheists have shown their deceit' by writing negative reviews of the book, even though most of them have never bought it. We know this because we keep track of atheists' book purchases in our secret volcano lair. We also like to sit in big leather office chairs and pet our cats while we laugh menacingly. We also really, really, really like to use the word "deceit" in awkwardly phrased sentences about people we don't like or trust. But back to our pal Ray:
Banana Incident
Ray Comfort was at one point being pursued by policemen in Los Angeles. Their intent was to stop him from intruding on their investigation into the murder of his childhood friend. Ray Comfort was, at the time, a Detroit police officer, and therefore far outside of his jurisdiction, though highly qualified. The police had followed him to the hotel at which he was staying, so he cleverly decided to distract them with some delicious sandwiches from room service. While the goodhearted-but-obstructive officers were distracted by their tasty deli products, he quickly acquired three bananas which he inserted into the tailpipe of their vehicle. He was then able to depart in full view of the officers, whose patrol car was disabled by the cleverly implemented produce. This incident was later frequently mentioned to humorous effect, using funny voices and the phrase "Banana in the tailpipe".
