About
The True "Banana Man" Story
The Fool (2018) reclaims Ray Comfort's "Banana Man" mockery as bold evangelism. After Richard Dawkins ridiculed his intelligent design banana analogy, Comfort turns infamy into Gospel outreach—documenting street preaching, atheist confrontations, and Psalm 14:1 truth ("The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'"). This isn't damage control for a "horrible analogy"—it's unashamed Christian apologetics celebrating ridicule as witnessing fuel. From Living Waters: defends creation, exposes unbelief, urges repentance. Pure faith-affirming testimony, not atheist gotcha.
