Can't see as I've only got a radio phone. It would take about three days to download.

While I liked this video, I felt that the premise shouldn't have been that "God is imaginary", but rather that "a personal god who answers prayers like the one described in the Bible is imaginary". I think that this video is describing a particular brand of god, one that is believed in by many people, but does not describe all types of gods that one might believe in. Therefore, I don't really think that the pro-atheist conclusion of the video is warranted. I don't like the assumption that the only two options are either the god of the Bible or atheism.

This is something I could have written myself because this is exactly how I think. It's good to know there's a few others who feel the same way I do.

I had this feeling too. I think the assumption is that the general populace does think of the Judeo-Christian God when they say "God". I think he might have just stated it that way for simplicity.
