Care to enjoy this comedian as he "destroys" atheism with just one question?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) March 13th, 2013

What’s truly amusing is that, while this guy is poking fun with his brief video rant, he’s using exactly the “profound arguments” that theists often do advance to “prove” their case for the existence of their version of god or gods. What’s wrong with their picture? Who fails to see that this is comedy, not logic?

I didn’t know Sacha Baron Cohen had rebooted Ali G.

Thanks for the laugh!

Yeah, I’ve seen it.

The sad thing is, it’s nearly indistinguishable from real “Checkmate, atheists” videos like this one (Bananas prove god exists), this one this one this one this one this one this one this one this one this one and this

Good way to kick off the day, paradoxismly after having my non faith shot down.

Eh, good effort, but I didn’t find this funny.
Here’s some actual comedy

“Acid don’t make no humans.”
“Guess what? Still a dog.”
“Maybe he just hates Africans.”

LOL. Thanks for making my day, @ETpro. Love it.

That wasn’t funny and I couldn’t get past his speech impediment. But, anyway, this is funny.

Too forced and too artificial. Not funny.

Thanks @Seek_Kolinahr for the links. That banana one had me nearly in tears. Hilarious.

@bkcunningham I love Dane Cook. I know a lot of people don’t, but I thought that video was hilarious. My husband and I used to use those lines all the time after a sneeze. “Uh, when you die, nothing happens.” :)

What I don’t get is why the person who uploaded it spent all that time doing so if he thought it was so stupid. I could be wrong about that, though, because his grammar is so atrocious that I can barely understand the description provided.

On a side note, I love what Louis CK has to say about God.

Jesusophile is still my favorite fake (fundamentalist) Christian.

Meh, not funny. Just annoying.

He reminds me of the guy that used to stand behind the other guy in those old Athena videos on YouTube. Morons.

@tom_g Yep. Reboot complete.

@marinelifes, @rosehips & @livelaughlove21 Glad you enjoyed.

@Seek_Kolinahr Great links. Actually, I find those real ones quite funny too. Oh, and here’s a guy who agrees regarding how funny (silly) “Bananas Prove God Exists” turned out. But I get your point. The level of illogic and stupidity out there isn’t very funny.

@Michael_Huntington Even Stephen is seriously funny. Thanks.

@bkcunningham His delivery is funny and so is his material. But his religious logic is as weak as I’d expect. If you believe his take, I can understand why you’d think anything assailing it isn’t funny.

@ragingloli & @WillWorkForChocolate A matter of taste, I guess.

@fundevogel Where was he when the Papal Conclave was voting? He could be such a reformer for the Catholic Church on condoms and AIDS.

@filmfann Morons. Yes, I think that’s the point.

He said dioxy ribose nocluenic acid, at which point I just gave up with the video.
Yes, I’m really that much of a miserable bastard. It does say at the end of the video that it’s for comedic purposes only. So in all seriousness, people who couldn’t read would probably not get the comedy value thing with it.

The guy is creepy, needs a shirt and a course in English. He makes up words, uses fake logic and is down right offensive in word and appearance. In my humble opinion, he is not funny and scores no points for the religious. If I were religious, I would be offended with his attempts to be on my side of the argument.

ETpro's avatar

@SamandMax In all fairness, I would not have seen the comedy disclaimer if I had not been provoked to post a response to such a idiotic set of arguments. It was only when I realized I’d been punked that I had to admit how many equally ignorant rants I had seen posted by real theists who truly believed they had proved the truth of their theology with flawless logic when they had, in fact, exposed the poverty of their thought process.

@Ron_C Interestingly, nobody posted such a dissent.
