This video referred to a hypothetical make believe instrument called a Skeptometer. It would be a meter which measures if one is consistent in his skepticism. It reads just to what degree one is skeptical of some theory.
David Wood argues that some atheists are very skeptical concerning theistic arguments, their skeptometer reads high. But they are not applying an equal degree of skepticism in regards to their own arguments for Atheism. The skeptometer reads low numbers revealing a double standard.
I think the speaker is funny and demonstrates this kind of inconsistency in dealing with the problem of evil.
The Problem of Evil and the Skeptic's Dilemma (David Wood)
I would have like to call it "Is Your Skeptometer Consistent ?" Do you apply skepticism equally ?

Any skeptic who watches the entire video, I will respond to by watching a counterpoint video of comparable length.
