I remember a local radio preacher back in my salad days who used pepper the verbal tic "HEH!" at the end of every sentence, and the end of many phrases. I asked around about what this was supposed to mean, and was told that such verbal tics were supposed to be indication that the Holy Ghost had come upon the messenger. Of course my particular tribe of fundamentalists laughed at this nonsense as much as any unbeliever. It's absurd on its face.
I have heard the same when I was a very young man visiting a Pentecostal church. The people were very genuine and very loving. But the preacher, well, I better end it here if you know what I mean.

The sad thing is that there are some ministers out there that cause people to blaspheme God. I am glad they are few and far between.
Nope. I was on the winning end of the discussion with the priest at the Catholic High School I went to (I was on of only 2 non-Catholics in that school).
The premise of the discussion was that only way Jesus could have been born was that either Mary committed adultery, or Jesus was a bastard. After 45 minutes, the priest came back with oh so favorite christian saying, "Ya just gotta have faith".
No proof, just faith. That good 'ole belief in magical thinking. The Father, the kid and the holy spook. Reiterating 2500 old campfire stories. (One wonders if those desert goat herders ever did a Blazing Saddles fart scene. Whatcha all think?)
LOL Atheists aren't "our" people. LOL
The idiots featured in the video need as much help as the crazy religious (don't get me wrong, there are plenty of normal secular religious types).
The impression I get is 90% of the atheists on this board are like this guy. Foul mouthed.

Nonetheless, Christ died for your sins and ransomed you. Therefore you must be saved. All resistance is futile.
As to your premise, you left out one: or Jesus was born of a virgin conceived by the holy spirit.
