"Yes, my friends, you too can become a Christian and get fried by a kooky old man! Let all your magic steam get out!"

This is worse than Hovind's stupid rubber band trick.

Yeah, pretty much anything that comes out of Hovind is going to be major league stupid.

Interesting video series though. This kid who is taking Hovind apart pretty well. I'll have to watch more.

Yeah, there's a reason I linked you to that one and not the original. . . .

Just looks like pickle fire to me. *smile*

In any case, the metaphor certainly lacks something.... like thought for example. *smile*

so... being a christian is like having forks stuck in you and being electrocuted?

That would seem to be the general consensus, yes. If you go to the YouTube site for this video you'll find that's what everybody is commenting in some fashion or other. *smile*

ok few questions and comments as I watched the film...
1.) if there's 2 forks, does that mean he's saying there is two gods? or that god is both negative and positive and need an electrical power source in order to work?
2.) I don't think any man wants to a. stick his pickle with 2 forks and b. attach electricity to it.
3.) OH MY! the pickle was catching fire, being burned by hot metal, steaming (gassy little pickle , ain't it?) and dripping black liquid. If that's what happens when you are Christian then noooo thanks! And I believe he unplugged it because the pickle itself stopped sparking. And why was it only half way sparking?
4.) Welp, he said it best, don't practice Christianity at home because it can be very dangerous you can hurt yourself or other things, or even blow out all the electricity in your home.

5.) Where the heck do you find all this stuff?!

I think it's probably not necessary that I answer the first four questions. I think you've already worked all of those out just fine. *smile*

But to answer #5, I find this stuff by reading the news, by reading the blogs of fairly well known atheists and other sources. One really good place to find a lot of great stuff is on the website of The Rational Response Squad.

And once you begin to know the names of the players involved you can easily find videos on YouTube. In fact, go to YouTube and type in things like "Richard Dawkins", "Atheism", "debunking religion" and so on and you will find metric buttloads of interesting and scary stuff.
