We received an email today: “I had an opportunity to attend a Bill Nye book signing in Paramus, New Jersey last night. He reacted as if he had never seen this tract. The tract's banana illustration, "The Atheist's Nightmare," amused him. He was good natured and told me that he was going to read it. God Bless, Robert.”
It sounds like Bill Nye has more of a sense of humor than the average atheist. God bless him.
Over a million copies of “The Atheist Test” have sold. It not only shows that atheism is “senseless” (Sir Isaac Newton’s choice of words), but it shows how it’s scientifically impossible for any person to be an atheist.

++"it’s scientifically impossible for any person to be an atheist."
That's amazing given that belief in the supernatural is, by definition, outside of the realm of science. Perhaps the word you were looking for was "psychologically". Not that you'd be any closer to correct in the assertion but at least you'd have the right fucking field. Of course you dumbasses usually don't believe in psychology...
"it’s scientifically impossible for any person to be an atheist."
Well I always considered myself to be something of an outlier but I never thought I was a scientific impossibility.
How will I tell my parents?

And it does so by starting with your fucking banana Argument... an argument you claimed was just a fucking joke and Atheists simply didn't get it!
Make your fucking mind up Ray... is that argument a joke or not?
"Over a million copies of “The Atheist Test” have sold."
And how much toilet paper was sold in the same time?
I believe there's a correlation. And of course we know from all of the fundies constantly telling us:
1. Because I believe it, it must be true
2. Correlation implies causation
What a coincidence Ray. I was just thinking about Isaac Newton this morning. One of his goals in life was to write a book to explain why the babble had contridictions. He was confident that if he studied it enough, he would figure out the schtick and discover the key to explain all the seemingly contradictions. He never wrote that book. He could never explain away all the contradictions. Or any of the for that matter. How "senseless" is that?
And this, Ray, is why we mock you. You still don't understand, or you pretend not to, why your banana argument fails. Same for the crocoduck. You are a master of Orwellian crimestop.
So you gave him a copy of the Banana Book and he was amused? Well hell, stud, that's because Bill is one hell of a lot smarter then you and was trying not to laugh in your face. If Christopher Hitchens were still alive, he would have kicked the shit out of you, then laughed.
"...it's scientifically impossible for any person to be an atheist."
OH MY NON-EXISTENT GOD, I THINK WE'VE BROKEN THE SCIENCE.
Hasn't this guy heard about his banana yet? Of course Nye was amused.
Anyone know how the hell he thinks it's "scientifically impossible" to be an atheist or, for that matter, what he thinks "scientifically impossible" means?
"Bill Nye"
Every time I see his name, I can't help thinking that in Norwegian, "Nye" is the plural of "New".
As in, "Has Bill discovered any 'nye' facts?"
The tract's banana illustration, "The Atheist's Nightmare," amused him.
As did every other thinking individual who's ever seen the video. We're not laughing with Ray, were laughing at him.
it shows how it’s scientifically impossible for any person to be an atheist.
Ray, that was a particularly hennas thing to say.
"It sounds like Bill Nye has more of a sense of humor than the average atheist. God bless him."
Seen a fair bit of Bill Nye and he does have a good sense of humour, he likes the punny campy goofy stuff best, it's one of his traits that made him a perfect choice to get childrens attention.
Seen a fair bit of Ray Comfort and he has no sense of humor, his idea (and Kirk Camerons) of funny is the same as right wing Republicans: Insulting the left, liberals, the educated and the poor and calling their betters stupid.
In debate circles he's pretty much been nicknamed 'that Douche'.
So, sales figures are now a way to determine the value of a book. OK, Ray, how often have The Origin Of Species or the The Descent Of Man been sold since they were published? How about the books of Alfred Russel Wallace? Or Richard Dawkins?n
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
