A timely message

March 10, 2008 1:52:04 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

Check out the following song (I would embed it if I could but I'm still failing miserably). The music is, well, okay, but it is the words that are important. There is a message for all of us in this song:

Roy,

Now, how do we get to those who need to see this.  I think you and I already understand this about the world. 

Thanks for embedding the video mate.  Every time I try to do this, I end up with a broken link.  I don't know why but it is frustrating to say the least. 

Serenity,

Yes, it is very powerful, I thought.  The message couldn't be less straight up either.  Thanks for watching.

What a powerful video, Mark. It was a great idea to show everyone the words.

I also like what the poster on youtube said about it ...

"This poem isn't actually about religion. It is kind of irrelevant to the piece whether or not you believe in God or a God or anything like that. Thats not the point......"

The music is, well, okay,


Overstatement of the millenium. Also the words were not theologically sound, but the nits don't need to be picked.

Chris,

It was a great idea to show everyone the words

I agree.  It was what appealed to me most about it.  In a world where the greater percentage of music videos revolve around either sex, violence and drugs or have a 'cool' gimmick attached, this is refreshingly honest and made more powerful for being so.  Glad you liked it.  The youtube poster is partly right.  It is not about a particular religion but religion in general.

Jythier,

You know, perspective is an amazing thing.  You say it wasn't theologically sound yet I thought is was spot on.  As for the music, well I'm not going to say it was bad, but...

I am.

God isn't sorry He made people.

God IS the creator, the stuff wasn't all just there and He put it together.

Etc.

The main point, that people suck and do bad things, even in God's name... well, yeah. Spot on.

Jythier,

God IS the creator

This is one opinion...  Mine, however, differs greatly.  Still, I think we both agree with the message.
