Please tell me that's meant to be a parody of a clueless and moronic believer with zero world experience.

I don't believe for a second that someone posted that intending it to be taken seriously.

If this is his YouTube channel, as seems to be the case, then I think it's probably a parody. But....

In general, what is supposed to be the point of 'parodies' which are not seemingly more than just fakes - not enlightening, funny, or even vaguely well written, and not illustrating the absurdity of a position by taking it to some untypical extreme?
Just some kind of psychological experiment?

If someone who wasn't a racist was to put on a KKK uniform and go around acting like one, would that be parody, or just trolling?

Yeah :)

The original i posted was picked up in a facebook group "from religion to Reason", so i had no idea if this was a serious post or a POE.

Considering that this guy/girl has Tim Minchin in the subscribed yourube channels, it is likely a parody.

That said, whoever followed through this thread will, as i do, find it hard to distinguish between real deal and a joke.

If all things are created by energy or rather became an animation or Energy in Action, if there was a creator would not God be not only everywhere but still creating with his energy which is so vast this universe out multiverses will expand until it merges with the unseen and implodes into a new heaven and earth

Even ignoring the other glaring impracticalities, who does this guy think would administer the tests under his protocol?

It's hard to see an explanation for him other than him actually trying to make teabaggers look bad by associating himself with them, or him being mentally disturbed (whether divorced from reality or being some kind of pathological attention whore).

It looks like he has in the past had some meaningful success as a lawyer, so he isn't (or at least, he wasn't) simply thick.

I've known some pretty thick lawyers.
The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

Hitler was Catholic not Christian, there is a big difference. Now Hitler wasn't even a practicing Catholic. So he wasn't even a hardcore Catholic.

I would like Todd to explain to me how "humanely putting people down" will help our fight against ebola? Can you still not get ebola from cadavers?

And who is likely to come forward for testing, or to report that someone in their [potentially to be napalmed] village is ill.

Well, he was probably wary of being honest and saying "Who cares about a fucking n****r anyway.".

Only someone really fucked up in the head, could refer to putting a bullet in an 18 year old man as "a taxpayer funded abortion". A phrase that more aptly describes what Todd Kincannon is.

Today, I heard a Sunday school teacher say that he'd be on Cloud Nine if the President joined Congress in having a daily bible study to ensure that the government's political policies aligned with the end-time prophecies of Revelation.
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ xρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.

While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and time demands its toll.
