| - Why bother reading the tract if we have already heard it a thousand times?
- "By all means" I think the people during the Inquisition and the Puritans persecuting the Native Americans considered this phrase by Paul too. Of course Ray takes advantage of the printing press, he has published about 60 books and over half of them repeat the same exact failed arguments. As for the lady, Ray's son-in-law was preying on her grieving mind. It is very likely the same trick would have worked if a Scientologist presented a copy of Dianetics.
- Remember, freedom of speech was given to us by men. While atheists may not agree with Kirk's message, they will fight for his right to speak freely. However, there is such a thing as "hate speech" which is punishable. At the core of Christian teaching, it preaches that people deserve to be tortured for all eternity, that women are not equals to men, that slavery is okay, witches should die, homosexuals are wicked, and such.
- This basically repeats the same old refuted are you a good person? tactic. The only time the Ten Commandments are actually called the Ten Commandments is in Exodus 34, but none of the Commandments say a thing about lying, thieving, adultery, or murder. This tract already assumes that the reader will always be imperfect and everybody has sinned. On their website Way of the Master, you can take this test, but even if you answer no to all questions, in the end it will still conclude you are a sinner simply for being born in sin. It is common in religions to set up a problem that no one can escape and then provide a solution. As for Jesus dying for you, there is no historical evidence for the existence of Jesus. So this entire tract is fallacious and promises you false hope.
- Wait a sec. "A new glass eye that will look as good as your other eye, but it just won't look as good. That was a self-contradiction. Would the new eye perform better than your normal eye? Will it give you night vision? This tract only mentions the only flaw this eye has is "looks." What if you are blind or damage your eye badly, you may consider a new eye for much less than $1,000. What does it mean "window for our souls"? There is no proof of a soul, and how can our eyes be "windows"? In that verse, Jesus just spelled out to sinners to pluck out their eyes. The whole verse include Jesus telling sinners to cut off your hand it if causes you to sin. Some early Christian fathers literally did just this and encouraged their followers to do the same. Jesus also encouraged eunuchs . Early Church Father Tertullian promoted this, and even said Jesus lived as a eunuch. Castration of males, or to live a non-sexual life as a eunuch, is just as effective as abortion.
- Only giving back one dollar? It may seem like an insult to those from whom Christianity has taken much. Some have been scammed of hundreds to thousands of dollars because of faith in Christianity. If Christians should be giving to the community, why do they take away from it things such as certain rights, jobs, etc. Finally, the reason why God cannot be detected is because he does not exist.
- They also make a great waste of paper and trees.
- Despite the title this does not deal with the fear of God. Ice Breakers—Gospel Tracts (Way of the Master) deals with the fear of God. This video says a great deal about gospel tracts but as far as this author has been able to find out does not mention the fear of God once. Giving a misleading title is deceitful in the same way as lying is deceitful. It does not appear that Ray Comfort has repented for this deceit since the misleading titles have not been altered.
- No name or source? It is easy to make up stories to give your product more value to consumers.
- Its easy to call yourself shy to bond with a consumer, getting them to buy your product. It seems Ray is only interested in money. Ray shows little shyness during debates or when he preaches aloud in front of a crowd in Southern California.
- Of course, Ray is hiding his hate with "Christian love" but hate is hate. Ray makes no secret of his grudge against atheists. Also, of course Ray would hate those who attack him, which is why he retaliates against the intellectuals who expose him as the deceitful scientific-illiterate charlatan he is. How can you expect an animal to love its attacker when the attacker is eating away at its limbs?
- Basically, the deceptive are you a good person? tactic.
- Was the last point showing Ray promoting littering?
- Can you bring them to the gospel without lying and being willfully deceptive? We'll see.
- if you have read Jack Chick tracts, the only thing funny is the tracts' ridiculous stupidity.
- Which Commandments? The ones in Exodus 20 or Exodus 34? More misleading by Christians.
- Trust me folks, you would prefer to have missed it.
- There are different forms of faith, they are all blind, but Ray's faith is dogmatic faith. The gift the Bible contains is false hope written thousands of years ago by superstitious men who often hallucinated, thought their dreams were communications with god, and thought dragons, unicorns, and talking animals existed.
- The note on the back of the dollar repeats Comfort and Cameron's old tactic are you a good person?
- I wonder if the fourth interviewee has ever read Jack Chick tracts that say anyone not a Christian is a pagan and a devil worshiper. What part of this slander is humorous?
- Again, no name or source? We are not saying it did not happen, but we remain skeptical until actual proof is provided, as should everyone else.
- Yeah, you do not want to get into an argument with someone who can think critically. Of course - do not show the tracts that spell out what you are spewing: appeal to emotion and prey on the uneducated mind.
- That liberty is not given by God, but by man. Nowhere in the Bible will you find the freedom of religion. Also, Christians were the ones doing such horrible acts to non-Christians, and they even do it today. As Ray mentioned, it happens no longer in this country, but look across the globe. Millions are suffering because of Christianity, including burning and stoning witches and children in Africa, or sodomizing children in India.
