I agree with much of what is said in here (although the word "stupid" is in dispute for me - it's just the tag line for the youtube series) and wondered what others thought. Ofc, I won't pretend that when it comes to confrontation and other things that only atheists are guilty of this, either.

One thing I do disagree with is his point about being caught in "trivialities". I know many would consider defining terms to be a triviality, especially when it comes to the words atheist and agnostic (I use agnostic atheist and define it as often as possible to make it clear what I mean) but I consider this a very important thing to do both for the discussion at hand and to help others in future discussions to better understand what people mean or be less quick to pretend they understand what someone means by "agnostic" for example.
