1. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
Same stupid noises and everything.

2. Weird video. Which side? What purpose...
The guy makes great arguments, god looks like an idiot, but the man really is condemned to hell (so god exists but he is an idiot?)

Two possibilities

1. This is an atheist video intended to expose Christians to the mindless, ill-logic of their belief system but hooks them into watching by keeping the 'god exists' ending.

2. This is a believer video where the smart, lefty arguments aren't engaged but smashed with pure godlike authority (even if god seems dumb) in pure nevermind-the-fact Bachman/Palin style.

3. Read up on Edward Current for your answer.

4. I like his taste in music. Still think the video's ending could have been better..

6. Current is hit and miss.
His videos can get a little heavy handed for my taste in satire.

5. A third possibility, and probably the right one...
3. The creator of the video, Edward Current, is a satirist who pretends to be a Christian for his youtube videos.

So both of your possibilities are kind of true. An atheist who pretends to be a Christian to expose Christian silliness.

7. Your satire meter must be broken
it seemed pretty obvious to me.
