These people are all spectacularly stupid in the public's eye. Is Ken Hovind the dude whose best argument is: You don't know if anything is real, you can only TRULY know if god tells you it's real. And you know he's god because god cannot lie.
If he really believes in that he takes the spot of the stupidest person alive. But I doubt he does. He can't be so stupid. No one can.

I don't know. I'm kind of on the fence with respect to Ray Comfort, leaning towards thinking he really is that stupid.
With Hovind, I'm utterly convinced that he's stupid as a box of rocks.

If Kent Hovind weren't stupid, he wouldn't be sitting in prison right now.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

That was one of my major deciding factors in making the choice between "stupid" and "clever".

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Yes, because he wouldn't pay his taxes, and then tried to weasel his way out of it despite getting every opportunity to work things out.

Speaking of kent, isnt he suppose to be out soon?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

2015, according to the wiki Doubting Thomas shared. I wonder how would someone like that survive in jail.

Ray Comfort terrifies me. Because he's not stupid enough to not realize when he is pointed out as being grossly incorrect with his statements. But it doesn't phase him at all. That baffles me.
It baffles me that my parents who are both highly intelligent and highly educated don't believe in evolution. There is no way to really grasp why such intelligent people think that way.
Religion can grip even an intelligent, well educated person and turn them blind to logic and evidence. Moreso they get an emotional high from dismissing such evidence and logic without any good reason other than to cling to religious doctrine.
That freaks me out. When people can willingly discount such things they can be capable of the most horrible atrocities in human history. They can justify doing anything to anyone in support of their religious beliefs.
I think that Religion is a virus of the mind. A horrific virus that has the capability of destroying everything. Even our entire species. And the religious will do it praising god while it happens.
