    The Atheist Delusion

    The power of the arguments in favour of Christianity are so powerful in this Youtube video, I think I'm beginning to see the light.











    Nah!

    I'm calling Poe's law on this. Seriously. The delusion I have come across, but with the graphics? It's got to be, surely?

    I agree.

    The really funny thing is that the spoof uses exactly the same arguments that faith-heads use.

    A bit too subtle perhaps (for Americans)

    And I apologise immediately for that remark to all those from the USA using this board

    First look at the rather good stuff by Thunderf00t, Why do people laugh at Creationists?
    Then look at his favourite fundie, who's claims are often shredded in the above series, VenomfangX.....

    Yes, yes they are

    In case it's still unclear, the OP's YouTube post is satire. It says so on the video's YouTube page info (to the right of the video).

    While this is satire, it's very true that there are people who think like this. The vast majority live in Jesusland, but I know plenty in Australia and live next door to one here in England. What never ceases to amaze me is how they manage to steer every single 30 second "hey, neighbour" conversation into a Jesus conversation. Good, bad, indifferent - it's all Jesus related. "Dammit, Jesus didn't tell the bin men to mix up our bins this week..."

    Having said that, I know a number of Muslims who are the same (but without the all-encompassing Jesus bit ).

    Very, very good! We have them here as well without the Christian bit. At least Christian fundamentalists practice includes the use of soap! (i hope).

    Reminds me of Life of Brian for some reason.

    Re: The Atheist Delusion

    If it is a spoof (surely!) then it is just TOO 'good'! It may actually convert susceptible people ....

    Maybe it's a double bluff. It's made by Christains to look as though it was made by Atheists (!) to fool ordinary folk into believing it, which is what was intended in the first place, while still fooling Atheists, which is why ...

    .. help!

    If it does convert them they deserve it!

    I do feel you are assuming they have a tad bit more intelligence than is likely.

    "help!" is right!
    I think I too am beginning to see the light, and it's blinding!

    Is that where the phrase "blindly following" comes from or what it is referring to by any chance?
    Could it really be as simple as seeing too much light?

    Oh my, I just tripped over this little gem - ouch! http://tcwsf.blogspot.com/2008/06/bl...following.html
