Youtube sensation Thunderf00t has just recently held a discussion with the one and only Ray Comfort. Unfortunately it reveals the weakness that we have in directly engaging people like this. That is, we don't have the time to properly think through and construct the most effective rebuttals. However it is all very interesting viewing and does reveal what we all knew already, that all Ray has is "the bible tells me so"

Re: Thunderf00t v Ray Comfort
I have just watched the series and after a slow start, the Big T certainly got into his stride. He was very polite, thoughtful and calm. This was both a strength and weakness because the long pauses when asked questions such as, "Is paedophilia morally wrong?" might lead one to believe that he did not think instinctively that it was wrong. He did well to deflect the constant bible references but there really is no debating with people who keep themselves willfully ignorant. I notice that Ray is selling DVDs of the discussion for $5 on his website. The production values seem somewhat higher. As much as I don't want to give him any money, I would love to see whether it is a similar representation of the conversation. Has anyone seen it? If Ray has put it out unedited then all credit to him (it is now only 80 mins long not 90 - but that could be accounted for by trimming out the chit-chat whilst batteries were replaced etc.) It is available at his Living Waters online store.
