The non-believers who visit this blog, will present their evidence to refute Mr. Comfort by using many different reference materials.
What you are not understanding is this: Followers of Christ do not need reference materials. We don't need source documents, research papers or books. We have 1 book that settles it all. I am sure you have heard of it: The Bible.

And they wonder why so few christians graduate university.
"Look, Darren. I appreciate that you have a faith and all. But this essay was meant to be on the political infrastructure of Brazil and how it affects the export trade. You simply cannot cite 'Leviticus' as a source for this!"
I understand. Trust me. I understand that you bury your head in a fictitious book that is over 2,000 years old and ignore everything else.
What I've never been able to understand is why. But, I also know I never will. I'm fine with that.
...a book that tells you to drink poison to prove your faith (Mark 16:18).
Not a good idea, but if you really, truly believe it, then go for it.

The problem with these fundies is that the Bible IS their god.
------------------------
I have to agree.
They seem to be so weak in the faith, that it entuirely depends on the bible being literal true. It seems like, if you prove even the tiniest part of the bible to be false (in a way that even fundamentalists don´t see a way to counter it [which is nearly impossible without inventing a time machine I assume, as else they would always counter with "goddidit"]) they would immediately stop believing in god.

That's not something to show off like it's some kind of badge of honor.
As much as I hate to quote him, I think it was Supersport who said it best.
"If reality doesn't agree with the Bible, reality can take a flying leap."
Sums up fundies pretty well, really.
What in my name?!?! Where exactly in my book did I say it holds the answers to every question that will ever be asked?
All I ever talked about near the beginning was how you have to worship me or I'll kill you,(and seriously, why'd you guys keep that part in there, it's so embarrassing...) then I got layed and chilled out a bit, -ps, that Mary chick, crazy mad in the sack ;) - and manifested myself in human form to preach love and forgiveness to you personally to make up for my being a dumbshit earlier.
Oh, and nice job not believing me and nailing me to a plank of wood. All you do is whine, and when I tried to help you out, you fucking killed me! That's the reason I never do anything for you guys anymore. I hope you're happy with yourselves.

I wonder if some of them can see that it doesn't make sense. It would explain why they defend it so desperately: They've been told that the bible is the literal word of god and that they'll be punished if they don't believe it, so they really want to believe. Which is why they get angry when you point out the glaring flaws that anybody could see.
OK, consult your bible on this, which wire is LIVE on your light switch ?
dont electrocute yourself.
Admission of wanting to remain ignorant, to continue to be mislead as a puppet, exploited with false beliefs. Or narcissist-like self-sufficiency, delusioned into a belief to be all knowledgeable, resulting in the incapacity to learn new information. In either case, the result is the maintenance of ignorance and segregation from the world.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
