Ray Comfort’s cartoonist has created a typically douchey panel today, to illustrate Ray’s typically douchey point that atheists are silly because they talk of probabilities rather than certainties (thanks to Jesus, Ray is certain of everything he says).

Richard Gunther’s original panel is on the left, and I’m sure you can see imagine what a leap of intellect it was for me to create the much more relevant panel on the right. The original text also makes no sense because the atheist is declaring outright: “I’m not afraid” while knowingly basing this on a potentially false assumption. Had Gunther half the integrity Christians like to pretend they do he would have at least changed the wording to “I am slightly apprehensive!” Also, what is it with atheists always drawn to look nasty and manic even when they are about to be skewered by a centurion? No one is more afraid of death than we are!

* In reproducing the panel above I cite “fair use”– I use it here to illustrate why I think Ray is an idiot as well as how boringly literal his cartoonist is.
