The Fool – the true “banana man” story

Documentary
60 min. / 2019
RATING: 7/10

The Fool is the true story of how evangelist Ray Comfort was mocked and ridiculed by atheists the world over for a banana joke he made that fell flat. But even as Ray was brought low, God was using Ray’s humiliation: these same atheists started inviting Ray onto their shows, podcasts, and stages and they let him say anything he wanted.

So Ray used these forums to share the Gospel with hundreds and even thousands of atheists at a time. Some atheists even took Ray’s books and read through them on their YouTube channels, all in an attempt to mock him. But the end result was that they themselves read out a Gospel presentation to their listeners. As Ray asks,

“Who but God could take atheists and not only have them listen to the Gospel but have them proclaim it?”

This is an often funny, always entertaining look at how God can use even fools like us.
