I spoke to a man recently who professed to be a follower of Jesus. When I said that I was looking for atheists to interview for a video, he said that he would like to bury all atheists up to their heads in sand, cover them with honey and let bees sting them to death.
When I asked him what happened to "love your enemies," he said, "Atheists are 'satantic'," and that the Bible says that there's a time to love and there's a time to kill. I said that I'm sure that when Solomon said that he didn't mean to kill people who have a different worldview. I also told him that he wasn't a follower of Jesus, if he held to that belief.
That's when he walked off...probably to get a shovel and some honey.

A time to love & a time to kill? Bananaman, I didn't know you were a fan of The Byrds. Turn Turn Turn & all that.
That asshole you talked to is largely representative of christians today, & it's because of scammers like you. No atheist is going to waste their time answering your inane questions, only to have you twist their answers to fit your warped view. So shove your phony concern up your ass, if it could fit up there, since I imagine Kirk Cameron takes up most of the space.
And exactly what is "satantic"?
Love fucks like that, zero hypocrisy, all that delicious hatred of those not in the herd. Like a monkey trashing his fists in pure malice and anger.
I truly appreciate where I stand with fanatics like that, so what else can I say, but: Come little monkey, come get me in your fury, try to make me a sacrifice to your vile god or die trying as you and your kind indeed shall, give me the fuel to burn your kind off the face of this planet so my kind can finaly be free!
"A time to love, and a time to kill" is from Ecclesiastes, not the Song of Solomon or Wisdom.
Ray Comfort ought to know this.
Wow! If this happened, then Ray is the sane one, here! Why can't Ray be this nice and sane ALL THE TIME? He sounds like a normal, non-frummy genuine Christian and not a cretin!
But, dearest Ray; Remember that you created and continue to nurture this monster. Nobody with a brain wants your weirdo version of Jesus or that other guy's.
Now, those denominations like the Episcopalians, Presbyterian USA, Metropolitan Churches, etc....They're a billion times more Christian than you'll EVER be!
Ray Comfort has a "Secret Window, Secret Garden" moment.
(for those disinclined to look that up, he basically has a conversation with a homicidal alternate personality of his that he hallucinates as an actual person.)
Ray is the sane one here. The "Word" of Jesus is supposed to supersede the Old Testament crap any time there is a disparity. That's what being a Christian means.
Jesus is very clear about this sort of thing. Besides, "love your enemies," Jesus said, "turn the other cheek,"... and (paraphrase) if that gets struck too, walk away, and shake the dust from your sandals. The intent seems clear enough, at no time did Jesus want his followers to stain their (alleged) souls with violence or ill will.
Too bad these nasty little pustules choose to ignore that.
Aww. That's nice. Ray Comfort doesn't want us atheists dying horribly from suffocation (bees wouldn't sting you because you're covered in honey. That's more the area of bears). He just wants us to burn horribly in Hell forever for not believing his bullcrap about bananas and evolution being a lie!
... Sounds to me like you're just lazy then, Ray...
@DB97531,
Well, we can trust that Ray won't kill us. By the standards of RPGs, I guess that makes him the good guy. But he still wholly endorses the belief that not only do atheists end up getting tortured after they die, but that the entity who does the torturing should be praised and adored for everything it does. Don't confuse "technically nonviolent" with "loving" for even a second.
@DB97531
That's giving him waaaaaay too much credit. He's just the lesser evil here.
@Nemo
I suppose that would make Ray Lawful Evil, compared to the other guy's Chaotic Evil?
Ray, he has just as much evidence for his belief as you do. If you can't even argue against cruel discriminatory murder without relying on the same set of scriptures, you don't deserve to judge anyone.
Gen. Chuck Yeager is a damn good pilot.
From over 100,000 feet in a Lockheed Starfighter, to flying quite low in his career as a test pilot.
In all that time, he - and others - have demonstrated the point .
I trust this is low enough for you to finally see it, Ray Cumfart.
Giardono, as a former Bible student, I'll point out that Christian and Jewish tradition holds that King Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes. The historical basis for this claim is shaky at best, but Comfort is expressing a common belief when he attributes the books authorship to Solomon.

Wait, bears have stingers now!? As if they haven’t been terrifying enough before!
