One man was killed and three people were injured when a statue of the elephant god Ganesh collapsed during a worship service last month in India, and a video of the tragedy was circulated and widely reported last week.
Ray Comfort — who is probably best known for arguing that bananas disproved evolution, at least until he learned that they were the products of artificial selection by humans — posted a link to an article about the tragedy and urged his followers to donate to his Living Waters ministry.
Comment: Never miss a chance to rake in some bucks!
"The Bible says that those who worship dumb idols, are just like them," Comfort posted on his Facebook page. "How India needs the gospel! But we don't have to go there to take it to them. We have the Internet."
Comment: Good idea, let's replace one myth with another. This one would be a purported Palestinian preacher who can't be found in the historical record, but came back to life anyway.

Comfort's fans quickly picked up what he was laying down and praised God's wrathful judgment.
Comment: If banana anatomy is the best proof Comfort can come up with for a Creator, Christianity is in serious trouble.
