I think it's a pretty solid rebuttal.

It's a shame he has to use ridiculous strawmen, though. I couldn't consider showing this to anybody who needs to hear it without them being offended enough to just dismiss it as rubbish.

"This is you, crying and yelling and choking people." says the man who ends his argument on how it matters only how you treat people.

I know, but it's crazy because that's how most of my family would react if I told them about my faith (or lack there of), as this is how they reacted to similar yet different revelations by other family members. :(

Oh yeah. And totally, those crazies are out there. I know every line in that bit was pulled from a real person.

But again, I think a video like this would be perfect if it had maintained that nice, solid, matter-of-fact, this-is-how-it-is timbre throughout. Neutral, but right.

As it stands, it is a funny and validating video for people who already understand this viewpoint.

Ironically, this is preacher talking to the choir material. ;)
