It’s finally been proven beyond any reasonable doubt.
God does not exist.
Centuries of philosophical discussion.
Eons of intellectual debate.
Over.
Theism has collapsed.
Undone by a few free sandwiches.
It’s all right here.
It seems Ray Comfort is going to the Reason Rally.
He’s going to give away copies of his recent book.
He’s also giving away Subway gift cards.
Therefore, God doesn’t exist.
If you’re too brainwashed by religion to see the connection…
…the author carefully outlines the jarring truth:
“Thank you Ray, for showing that your god doesn’t exist and can’t do anything at all. It takes lots of humans from farmers to folks making minimum wage to feed 5,000 people. No god at all needed or in evidence at all… I guess poor Ray isn’t a true believer in JC since he can’t do miracles as promised in the bible. It doesn’t say  feed the hungry specifically in that verse but if one can heal, why not a little work with the loaves and fishes?”
To make sure I understood the argument, I posted the following syllogism to the author:
1) If God were real, Christians would be able to conjure sandwiches from nothing.
2) Ray Comfort needs Subway to manufacture sandwiches.
3) God doesn’t exist.
The author’s response was:
“Considering your bible claims that Christians should be able to conjure sandwiches, heal people etc then the syllogism works…”
So that’s that.
I’m not smart enough to formulate a logical response…
…because conversing with these minds gives me a headache.
Unless somebody can point out a flaw in this logic…
…I’m going to have to start putting my Atheist Ordination to work.
I’ll confess though…
…I’ve got a long way to go before this free-thinker rationalization becomes cogent.
Perhaps I need to attend the Reason Rally.

You seem to have mistaken ‘highlighting stabbing irony’ for the ‘pinnacle of reason’. It’s fun to watch you fail (get it? Because the guy you’ve misunderstood is called ‘clubschadenfreude). It is disappointing that it isn’t obvious what the joke is.
See 5,000 vouchers to feed 5,000 people — the Bible reference bit is obvious.
But, as the story goes, the 5,000 were fed by way of a miracle.
But Ray, in attempting to mirror the story, has accidentally not relied on a miracle (which I’m sure is a key part of the story) but on industrious humans. He’s planning–accidentally, I’m sure–to feed 5,000 people not on the back of faith and miracles, but human progress. Upon investigation, Ray is accidentally promoting humanism (the celebration of human progress and capabilities) instead of faith.
I wouldn’t assume Comfort is really trying to convert people at all. He just needs to appear to be doing so when he appeals to the faithful for money. It’s the standard gambit apologists play. They pretend to be engaging the faithless, but they are never doing more than comforting the faithful.
…and cashing the checks.
You’re probably right. Comfort is just bilking the believing buffoons. He’s likely an atheist himself. You ought to set up your own proselytizing for profit business!
If this is what reason and logic does to the human brain, thank God I’m stupid and irrational.
Reason and logic.
Reason and logic.
Reason and logic.
If you say it enough times, the words start losing their meaning. Maybe that’s what has happened to the True Atheists?
Also, don’t look now. But apparently Subway is devoting the entire month of May to bribery.
Buy lunch and get breakfast for free.
Can’t Subway earn patrons without stooping to Ray Comfort-esque practices of dangling freebies in front of people?????
Disgraceful.
