I have been having an argument with someone who makes athiest videos, and i've been arguing that he is unfairly depicting christian/biblical events and ideas to parody and insult...He has asked for specifics on what is insulting, and i'm only guessing (being agnostic myself)...Is there a christian or two here that would help me out by watching a few youtube vids and giving me their opinions please?
PM me please if you're willing to help.

Wow, i thought i asked for a christians opinion on debunk/statire videos, but i was actually questioning the legitimacy of non christians and their ability to depict religion accurately...Thanks dude, i never noticed that.

This prove to me that there is a God.
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Still we are the only planet with intelligent life, so that doesn't prove anything.
The Bible also says that God was made plain to them, people just want to ignore God.
it's faith, leave it at that. you may be sure god exist, i may be sure god exist. but at no point can we say that we have proof of that.

I know you said to not use the Bible, but the Bible predicted that blacks would be slaves.
With all do respect i have never heard that them before and do not understand it. They give crappy def. on wikipedia.(circular logic)

If you have faith, you don't need proof, and if you have proof, you don't need faith.
I am an atheist but I have been studying Genesis and some other parts of the Bible and untangling what these stories actually mean in real terms. I'd be happy to take a look if you like.
