7. I presume that the tape is a satire. However, nothing to too ridiculous
to be believe by fundamentalists.

8. I looked at some of his other videos too. They are pretty funny.
However, he does seem to make pretty heavy use of strawman arguments.

I get the impression that often people think that exposing aspects of the different man-created religions as obvious bullshit, is equivalent to proving that there is no purpose to the universe.

10. What I can't understand is all the comments! This is obviously satire.
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 12:14 PM by Evoman
But from reading most of the comments, you can see that many people don't realize it and are arguing with the guy. *hits forehead*

I think some people are missing the satire gene. The way the video is laid out, with the "christian" guy attacking all the strongest points of science, makes it very obvious. Real christian fundies would ignore all these points, until they were pressed, upon which time they would say something stupid.

11. That's why the suggestion that we call ourselves "Brights" is stupid
Not everyone who lives in the reality-based community is particularly bright.
