Jesus used harsher words to describe those who hear His sayings and don’t do them. He calls them foolish. The Greek word is ‘moros’, from which we derive the word “moron”.

Ray Comfort (via wisdomfish)

The notion of Ray Comfort calling anyone else a “moron” is hilarious.

He’s the idiot who claimed the shape of bananas is a “nightmare” for atheists.

Ray Comfort is a pathological liar. His ignorance is utterly staggering. 

It’s a sad day for wisdomfish if he’s turning to Ray Comfort to bolster his “faith”.

I think we get the word “moron” from the word “moros.” Just because (the probably fictional) Jesus used the word to describe people who didn’t agree with him doesn’t mean we use the word moron because of Jesus.  Look up the word “moron” in the dictionary and the etymology is explained as coming from the Greek word “moros” not as coming from a word Jesus used.

I’m sick of this idea that because a word was used by some important figure they own that word.  It’s just like everything else in religion, trumped up and cherry picked to look good.  Every belief structure falls apart if you take a close enough look at it.  I’m sick of feeling bad because I’m willing to take that closer look. :
