Could Ray Comfort really be this dumb?

Post by Tero » Fri Aug 24, 2012 12:20 am

I have no problem with believing dumb people would give him money. But can a leader of any sort be this dumb?

Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

So that gives him an IQ of 105? For thinking of that clever scheme.

Ray don't notice reality much, nor does he let it bother him when he does. He's found himself a cash cow and he's getting rich. That's all that matters to him.

"Could Ray Comfort really be this dumb?"

Without even watching the video, I can answer that with an unqualified and resounding "yes".

yes
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

It's easy to think that he must be being intentionally manipulative and dishonest in order to spout such garbage. But I think it's also entirely possible that he has no idea, and that he has simply learned, without being aware of it, how to engage with such people and in such ways that the reactions he gets make him feel better about himself, and protect him in his own little bubble. There could also be some level of cognitive dissonance where he does sometimes know he's lying, leaving him with secret feelings of guilt and shame, which he then has to push away by shrinking further into his comfort zone of fairy tales.

But it does make me wonder to what extent we all might do such things, and what checks and balances can be used to make sure our own world-view doesn't get too heavily warped.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]
