All Christians are literal interpretation fundamentalists who don't believe in gravity.
All christians are Bible literalists to some extent...

I thought it was hilarious. I suppose it may be because I was ready for an anti-atheistic argument only to have the video point out, in an utterly self deprecating manner, the circular reasoning of christianity. The sad thing is that if it were only a little more subtle, it would be probably seem genuine to me, that's how coherent I find religious thinking to be...

I think, perhaps, the point of the video is to get theists to watch it with their guard down, at least for a moment. It's really not that inflammatory. All it does is point out, in an innocuous (and humorous) manner, the fundamental issue with orthodox belief...

Agree to disagree. But I don't have much use for satire that doesn't make me laugh.
I don't agree to that...
