If he'll pay me $100,000, I'll engage him in a debate. The money won't come to me, it will go to two or three charitable organizations. I'm not in it for money, I just want to get Dawkins to part with $100,000 of his money so that the money will not be available for mocking Christianity or other similar nonsense. Sounds pretty silly of me, no?
Well, swap in world-famous Christian apologist Ray Comfort for Mr. Dawkins and give Mr. Dawkins my spot, and you've got yourself the stranger-than-fiction true account of an atheist who is so afraid to debate that he's unwilling to accept $20,000 - twice his usual speaking fee of $10,000. (link)

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
Dawkins has ranted and railed with so much inane inconsistency that he has become little more than the raving lunatic howling at the moon. Bill Maher is the same type of beast, but with no education.
ReplyDeleteDawkins is coming to my university in a few weeks and I still haven't decided if it would be a good idea to go and use it as a witnessing opportunity (entrance fee of $10 of course for non-atheists). He's going to be lecturing on the purpose of purpose. On the one hand celebrity tends to draw people into discussions they might not have. On the other hand I already bump into plenty of atheists/agnostics in my day-to-day activities and sometimes spark intriguing conversations.
ReplyDeleteMay the flying spaghetti monster have mercy on him. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't at all know how that debate would turn out. Pro: Comfort would share the Gospel a bunch. Dick Dawk would act like a total jerk.
ReplyDeleteCon: Comfort is not that great at debate. Neither is Dick Dawk.
Hmmm...
Ken,
Hey, Dick Dawk is coming to MY univ (I'm an alum) on 06 March! For a sec I thought we were in the same region. Oh well. Much fun will be had.
