He can be condescending, but he never says things like "you just need to be as educated as me and you'll understand". The character in this video is much more condescending than richard dawkins actually is.
Why?
Evidence is independently objective, and not anecdotal. Surely you understand the difference?
I do too, I've seen some (old school) atheists be quite rational and actually interested in Truth and therefore prepared to change their position, and often polite and courteous. I don't really have a difficulty with them nor to I go looking for them to convert them.I seriously hate atheists being thought of in terms of Richard Dawkins. Richard Dawkins is not atheist Jesus people, I didn't even know who he was until I joined this site. And I do not agree with his graceless methods.
I reckon you're choosing to ignore the bit about evidence being objective and independently verifiable.
I understand.
Because dismissing evidence because it is "religious" is as absurd as dismissing it because it is "secular".
History is like that. The evidence is in the stories in writing and in the artefacts left behind. The resurrection left many artefacts like churches in the holy land. The resurrection left many stories behind too, in books like the four canonical gospels and the letters of saint Paul.
Conall and Donall got it right without being condescending.
Because dismissing evidence because it is "religious" is as absurd as dismissing it because it is "secular".
And it was a very amusing video clip, so it must be true
Churches exist, therefore religions are right?
Stories exist, so they must be true?
The Gospels are all myths, copied from each other, with John being completely different than the other three.
When I was young I lived in Michigan. I remember being in the arctic cold, smoking a cigarette, wondering how on earth there could be a God.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. - Matthew 11:27
All of that changed when the Holy Spirit revealed unto me the E/c2 (energies and light) that are of the Father. Especially of spiritual varieties...
E (Energy) - Warmth, love, motivation
c2 (Light) - Faith, hope, charity, gentleness, goodness, joy, etc...
All of these energies are present at a birth of a baby. But the child becomes corrupted by contact with earthly things and therefore needs purification before he can shine out in his original clarity. All these things are possible through the power of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...

See this is why I said it'd be funny to a few people. Because they don't understand why it's not funny.
Churches do exist and the gospels also exist; these are evidences. Dismiss them and they will still be there.
