His Facebook page has become a battleground for atheists to square off with Christians in an exchange of comments responding to his provocative posts. It's not uncommon for a post on his social media site to have more than 1,000 responses.
"It suddenly dawned on me how Facebook is an incredible medium for the gospel. One of my posts was seen by 1.2 million people many of whom are non-Christians," Comfort told The Christian Post via an email exchange. "Think of what it would cost and how much work it would take to have a Billy Graham-type crusade that reached 1.2 million people. But we can reach that many at no cost and with just a click of a keyboard button."
He added, "The average Christian can't stand on a soapbox at a university and preach, but he or she can now engage the unsaved and have their comment read by multiple people, all from the comfort of their own home. It means that a stay-at-home mom can reach out to the lost during a break from the kids. It means that those who are busy at work can reach the unsaved during their lunch breaks."

(1,437 posts)from posting on so many facebook pages/groups that it isn't even funny anymore. Not that I was rude and insulting, in fact I was insulted A LOT! Some were my fault knowing the page wasn't for debating about it, and some were just there to insult non-believers. Usually I'd come across them by seeing a post by a friend from the group, or they would post a picture and stuff they shared from the page. My friend made one once for atheists to battle Jehovah's Witnesses, it was quite the few weeks while it lasted..
