Ray Comfort and Subway gift cards that had been intended for Reason Rally attendees (Image courtesy Ray Comfort)
Remember Ray’s plan to invade the Reason Rally, and sway black, atheist hearts with cheap Subway gift cards? Well, Washington police have nixed his grand plan:
Ray Comfort is reluctantly canceling plans to give books and gift cards for Subway sandwiches to atheists at a coming rally in Washington. Police forced him to cancel, he explained to WND, because of the size of his contingency. More than 1,000 Christians had volunteered to help hand out the gifts to atheists who will be attending this year’s Reason Rally. […] The huge number of people who volunteered to join him apparently caused concern among Washington police. “To the D.C. police,” he said, “that constituted a protest and therefore we needed a permit to gather. We would have to stay at the other end of the National Mall, and they said that if we persisted to approach atheists to speak with them we would be arrested.”
He still plans to be there with a crew of 17 people.
[…]
“In what is so often a cruel world, we tried to show a little kindness and it didn’t work. So it now looks like we will be eating Subway sandwiches for the next 40 years,” he said.
A little kindness? Oh, ever the liar, Ray. You were grandstanding again, looking to feed your ego, rather than doing something truly kind, like feeding people who are desperately hungry. It seems even when your planned arrogance is quashed, you still can’t manage that simple act of kindness.
Full Story Here (be warned, it’s mostly a praise and link dump all about Ray, Ray, Ray.)
Silly christians think people will sell their souls for a Subway sandwich?
It would have been fun to have a coterie of people specifically down there to milk as many gift cards as possible, then redistribute them to the homeless. Which is what jesus would’ve done in the first place if he y’know ever existed.
PS -- it’s not too late, Ray! You could take those gift cards and give them to people who need food. Because that’s too big a pile to shove up your ass, though I’d love to see that on porntube.
Ugh. Look at him being all smug and holier-than-thou. If he were really interested in showing a little kindness, he’d be donating those cards to a homeless shelter. There isn’t nearly enough kindness in the world, and seeing this self-promoting slimeball make a mockery of kindness is really galling.
Also, someone at WND needs to learn the difference between “contingency” and “contingent”. Who knows, it could be the first step on the way to learning about all kinds of things!

:laughs: Oh, I didn’t even notice that, I was too busy weeding out all the embedded ‘read more’ links.
This is probably how he envisioned the press coverage:

Come on, Ray, you know your goal in enlisting that many volunteers was intimidation. You wanted the rally attendees to have to walk a gauntlet of a thousand condemnations-- I’m sorry, disagreements-- and be completely exhausted by the time they got inside, didn’t you? Yes you did.
