Have you guys seen his "Five Facts of Atheism"? It's a complete straw-man, it's so ridiculous how stupid this guy is. He's like the new ShockofGod.

Sounds suspiciously like an argument from ignorance as well.

So he admits that it is indeed our brain that does the thinking!

Well, evolution clearly favours rational thinking as a means to deal with the world. It's not brain surgery...

I can't take anyone that says "your atheist faith" seriously.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Even the clowns we deal with here know the difference and do not call atheism a faith.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

His argument does perform a crucial and important task, however. It illustrates the essential need for the scientific method and the absolute gullibility it takes for one to simply trust in the non-rational mind of some Septuagint-thumping carpenter from the first-century.
