I don't read Ray Comfort - I read a little about him - and I doubt seriously that I would agree with much of his approach or logic. But I do acknowledge and sympathize with his problem over at Amazon, where the Atheisti have come in droves to drive down the star rating (and associated sales) for his book, "You can Lead An Atheist to Evidence But You Can't Make Him Think".
Comfort's website was also spammed, a common Atheist vandalism tactic, one that has been used against my blog here, and the associated website. I learned not to attach an email address or reveal any personal information such as my full name, location etc. But not before the Atheo-psychos cyber-stalked me and my family.
As I have written before, the general ethic of a relativist Atheism is that of Consequentialism. Consequentialism is the policy that any means derives its acceptability from the acceptability of the end. So if one likes a particular end or objective, then any means to achieve that end is not just acceptable, is morally prescribed.
Athiests are dangerous because they do this, deny this, and do it again. That, after all, is justified by Consequentialism. It is an insidious falseness, while proclaiming to possess Truth; a license to lie.
I haven't bought Comfort's book, and won't. But I hope someone does.

I believe that Amazon.com should to resolve that problem. I propose the following: enabling reviews only by customers who has actually purchased the book in amazon.
If you enable any person to "comment" in a book, then you're enabling propagandistic tactics like those used by atheists to low the rating of the book.
Good idea. The reverse tactic can also be used, where friends of the author overwhelm the site with great reviews. In fact some authors organize buying parties to drive their books up on the popularity charts. If everyone buys a book on the day of release, it jumps to the top of the chart.
Those aren't True Atheists (tm). True Atheists (tm) are committed to science and skepticism. They would not write false reviews for the sole purpose of bringing down the star rating of a book.
Oh by the way, it now seems to be overwhelmed with satirical 5 star reviews from atheists.
Yes, "true atheists" may be an oxymoron, but they (if they exist) are certainly above posting lies on Amazon.com. Or perhaps they were simply following the example of their paragon Richard Dawkins as exposed in stupid lies here and here.
