Theist explaining logical fallacies

Here's a video made by a theist trying to explain what logical fallacies are to other theists, so that they will be able to recognize them and avoid using them. That in it self is a good thing, and he should get props for trying. If more people become better at reasoning and logic, they should also recognize that our arguments are the best.

Trouble is that some of the examples he gives are not actually examples of the fallacies they are supposed to be, and a lot of them doubles as straw men (being fallacious atheistic arguments that few atheists would make).

If I find the time I will try to make a video response explaining where he is wrong and give some real examples of the fallacies in question.

Eek.... There are a number of errors there. Most of his examples are composed of multiple fallacies (even granting that some dumb atheist out there would actually try to use that as an argument)... Anyway, I'll try to post in his comments (the actual author, not the "honest theist" mirror) and see what he says. He also has a curious video with the title (or maybe just a frame) that says something like "why lack of evidence does not justify non-belief", which has, obviously, piqued my curiosity.
