It would have been better if the richard dawkins character actually argued like richard dawkins. Instead they just made him seem incredibly condescending, way more than he actually is.

Ugh. This is satire. Liberals do this all the time and it's pretty funny when they do, most of the time. When it gets turned around though, they don't find it nearly as funny. They get all uptight and stuff. Or at least, so it seems.

I found this to be quite funny.

It's because Satire is usually accurate

This was attempted satire but because it was inaccurate I can't laugh and say "ha, yea that is true!" The point of satire is not to get it wrong.

It would be difficult to be more condescending than Richard Dawkins really is. Really it would.

I'm not a "liberal", nor am I an atheist.

I watched some of their other videos and I found them to be better than this one. The one where they debunk the psuedoegyptology referenced by some people is pretty well done.

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.

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.

Don't know why they didn't just show a real Dawkins fumbling around.

He lacks a sort of tact but I think he handles himself very well. He simply doesn't play games and cuts straight to the point.
