Team Fortress 2 art style meets Left 4 Dead.

The originality is just mind shattering

And TF2 itself was a rip/homage to the Pixar movie The Incredibles.


"The final rendition sports cartoon style visuals influenced by the art of J. C. Leyendecker, Dean Cornwell and Norman Rockwell[8] and is powered by the Source engine."

dawkins is wrong. bringing up a child with a religious background is absolutely nothing like child abuse.
typical dawkins "intellect" on parade again. dawkins is an extremist himself.


Many forms of religion are psychologically abusive (especially here in the south), while others are even physically abusive.

Sure, there are very positive and loving denominations of religion, but bringing a child up under the premise of "believe what you are told despite any objective evidence to the contrary" seems somewhat intellectually debilitating.

Read The God Delusion. John Cornwell is a lying sack of shit, his entire argument in this video is based on complete misrepresentations of what Dawkins has actually said. Most of the "summaries" of Dawkins is entirely taken out of Cornwells own head ie: "He parallels religion with a cultural virus* that's so evil** that he says its even worse then pedophile abuse***"

What a lying sack of shit. Dawkins has never said that. Anywhere. Ever.

*Yes, he calls religion a virus, but unless you're an ignorant lying piece of shit like Cornwell, you should know that the word "virus" in this context is not used in the negative, insulting way. He refers to memes, cultural ideas, including scientific ideas, by the way, as a form of virus, in the sense that, like a virus, it replicates through occupation of hosts, and like viruses, the only prerequisite for their existence is their ability to replicate.

**Viruses are not evil, nor are they good, they just are.

***No, he has never said religion is "worse than pedophile abuse", this is simply a fabrication that ranks with the last public statements of Comical Ali.
Dawkins has, with considerable restraint, and careful distinction, said that SOME forms of religious indoctrinations, (such as threats of hellfire) and the overt way of forcing religions upon children by labeling them "catholic child" or whatever, can be called a FORM OF CHILD ABUSE. He has never compared it to pedophilia or any other form of abuse.

lol bicycle repairman, i think this was tongue in cheek, no?

Well, you never know.. anyway, payle, the poster said the folowing:

I will highlight the ridiculousness of his response by sharing with you my very first sift.

Secondly the intentions of the video is to show that Dawkins arguments about God`s existence are "silly" because they apparantly could be applied to non-fictional characters just as easily, well point in case, my reply. this attempt to get clever doesnt really work, because when you apply these arguments to real things, they are shredded by the existence of real, testable, repeatable, universal evidence, and clearly, thats not the case with god, since no believer seems to be able to come up with a single well-constructed argument against ANYTHING in The God Delusion or anything else Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett or Harris has said about religion. It all boils down to petty personal attacks, strawmen, misconstrusions (John Cornwell)or wishful thinking (Alister McGrath)in the best of times
