The people he’s describing don’t sound like any priests I know. I get the sense that he’s “preaching to the choir,” i.e. he made the video for the enjoyment of other atheists. I suppose if the video is interpreted as comedy, the forest of straw-men becomes more palatable. I mean, really, does anyone think he actually interviewed any clergy about how they spend their time or the good works they do when not presiding over religious functions?
I thought it was interesting that he took the old tack about clergy just being out for money, which is rather ridiculous if one actually knows many clergy. I, for example, know a lot of Jesuits who, if they turned their attention to secular professions like business, would probably make a killing by leaving the priesthood.
