{{Cquote|I'm not sure there is anything in this movement worth saving. Hitchens is dead. [[Richard Dawkins|Dawkins]] simply doesn't have the energy for this sort of thing anymore. [[Sam Harris|Harris]] went his own way. And Denton just kind of blended into the background. So what do you think when the largest gathering of the nonreligious in history pulls in... I don't know. Maybe 2,000 people. Is there anything worth saving?<ref>[http://www.wnd.com/2016/06/even-atheists-bash-reason-rally/ Even atheists bash 'Reason Rally']</ref>}}

Thunderf00t debated the American Christian evangelist [[Ray Comfort]] and [[Thunderfoot - Ray Comfort discussion|the debate did not go well for him and he was nervous during the discussion/debate]]. Atheist [[Matt Dillahunty]] indicated he was "disappointed" in Thunderf00t's debate performance and referred to his debate performance as "weak sauce".<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcR6uceEEag Atheist Matt Dillahunty shocks atheists with admission]</ref> In nearly all [[Atheism and Debate|Christianity vs. atheism debates]], atheists fare very poorly. Ray Comfort was very gracious in his commentary concerning the debate and took Thunderf00t out to lunch after the debate.<ref>http://raycomfortfood.blogspot.com/2009/07/debate-with-thunderfoot.html</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAP719vrO7Y</ref>
Thunderf00t had a second discussion with Comfort and he was more composed in the second discussion. The second discussion focused on the discussion of [[atheism and morality]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bn62F5pvp0 Thunderf00t -- Ray Comfort Discussion, Round 2!
