Ray Comfort says atheists down-voted "Atheist Delusion" on movie ratings website

Evangelist Ray Comfort said atheists down-voted his latest movie "The Atheist Delusion" on the film ratings website IMDB after it premiered at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky last Saturday.

Comfort stated on Facebook that 61 atheists have already rated "The Atheist Delusion" as a one-star movie just 24 hours after it was released.

"This pulls the average down to a 3.5 stars. That means to someone wanting to know, it's really bad," he wrote.

The evangelist said that his other movies also received low ratings from atheists but he believes that his latest film will be unusually targeted because it "disproves atheism with one scientific question."

"They are worried that people will watch it and realize the insane nature of atheism," he continued. "Watch the atheists swarm in like a bunch of nasty bees, to try and pull it down," Comfort said.

In an interview with Christian News Wire, he said that over 1,000 Christians have already given his movie a 10-star rating while 500 atheists rated it with one star.

It has received an average rating of 5.8 with a total of 1,791 votes as of Wednesday.

The full movie is now available for free on YouTube. Comfort said that the YouTube comments section of the movie has amassed more that 7,000 comments, most of which are abusive.

"This is because atheists resort to character attacks when they have no answer to an argument. They shed other arguments like water off a duck's back, but 'The Atheist Delusion' had ripped the feathers off the duck," he said.

Comfort has previously admitted that the film is unlikely to change the minds of hardened atheists but he believes that there are others who would be willing to consider the existence of God.

The movie has been endorsed by prominent Christian figures such as best-selling author Francine Rivers, Hollywood actor Kevin Sorbo, TV host Jason Benham, World Net Daily CEO Joseph Farah, Reasons for Hope founder Carl Kerby and Sen. Ryan Gatti.
