Yes it is humerous, however do you realize they presented more evidence for the existance of Richard Dawkins in that video than there is for the existance of God?

yes.gif that's very true.

This kind of satire is a bit annoying.

Comparing an invisible being with no evidence anywhere that helps his case.. to a well-known and published author who regularly speaks and appears on popular media?

It reminds me of that "11 second clip" In which Richard Dawkins thinking before answering a question apparently indicates that evolution must be wrong.

Is this the height of the Christian argument?

"This kind of satire is a bit annoying".

Whatever your position, its an entertaining watch and I'm sure Mr Dawkins is secure enough to find it amusing.
I actualy think the parody can be seen in a religious context (rather than a freethinking one).


"It reminds me of that "11 second clip" In which Richard Dawkins thinking before answering a question apparently indicates that evolution must be wrong."

Yes its quite sad that people feel that way about organic evolution -Dawkins was also the victim of a mock interview by creationists posing as scientists -they harrassed and cajolled him about his beleifs but he came out of it quite well.


"Is this the height of the Christian argument?"

Im not affiliated to any 'non provable beleif system'(but accept those who are)-I just thought it would make a good post.
I think Richard Dawkins is a great chap and his books are quite refreshing (The God delusion makes interesting reading even if you are religious).
Cheers Karl original.gif

I wasn't saying it's not funny, I actually thought the accent was pretty well done, but I guess the style of it is all too common and it's playing on the common sarcastic notion that for some reason people who criticize God as being so far removed must be speaking nonsense or something.

I don't believe in Dawkins. I've never seen him therefore he doesn't exist.

Between Dawkins and the bible ?-Dawkins wins handsdown.
Just look at his credentials compared to the "authors" of the bible (or koran).
The bible is much easier to make fun of. Where shall we start ?
We could post a "The bible is so funny" topic but I'm afraid that thread would never end until the day Armageddon arrives which means one long a** thread. LOL

I rest my case.

lol at least i got healthy laugh.
