By Kevin Parry I am not an expert on the Bible, but there are some things in that book that I find incredibly disconcerting, especially when it comes to God’s moral conduct. It is often said that a leader who is worthy of respect is a leader who sets an example. When I read through the pages of the Bible, I become more convinced that if the God of the Bible exists, he is the type of leader I will not follow, simply because he sets an example that at times I find morally objectionable. I’ve written this post in the realisation that I could be mistaken, that it is possible that I’ve missed something. If so, please let me know where I’ve gone wrong. One of the arguments for the truth of Christianity, put forward by various apologists, including CS Lewis, is that all humans are endowed with a moral sense of right and wrong. Due to the fact that this objective, moral sense exists, there must be a Moral Law Giver (i.e., God). For arguments sake, let’s accept that this divine moral sense exis...

"He" is not good at multi-tasking.
Such a perfect world from a perfect
creator.
Hey, during the days of the Roman
Empire, didn't they throw Christians to the lions?
I don't suppose we could bring that
back, could we?
I really didn't think that awful song would go on for the entire 5:20 or whatever it was, either.
Gotta go listen to the Bastard Fairies now...
I worked in newborn intensive care units for a number of years. I always saw deformities in a clinical context, so it didn't really affect me much. It's the only way you could do that job. Have been away from that for a few years, and seeing it in the context of the Xtian mythology was beyond repugnant.
The thing with the lion cubs was awful too.
By the way, I was in a serious car accident after working night shift with sick babies. Fell asleep at the wheel. This was about 5 years ago. Was burned over 30% of my body, mostly upper and face. Xtians tell me that God was watching over me cuz a bystander pulled me out of the flames. Really? Wouldn't it have been easier just to wake me up or steer me into something other than a brick wall and light poles? Let's face it, logic is a foreign concept to these idiots. Nor do they understand how offensive they can be.
Beautiful rendition of that song. Well matched to the video.
"loving god" because if that's
loving I'd hate to see what happens when he becomes really pissed off.
This movie should be shown in the science classes at school.
I think the vid depicts real life on some levels although the violent and sad parts do not represent the majority of life on Earth.
As for why a lion would kill a three month old cub, I really don't care. The cub did nothing to deserve it and it hurts each time I watch it.
I hope the vid lures many Christians and then slaps their face and gets a few to realize that the dreamworld they live in is not exactly equal to the real world.

While I can't speak for TruthSurge, I'll give you my take on the video. Contrary to some viewers' opinions, this is not a joke. The imaginary sky daddy doesn't "watch out" for anybody or anything because, well, uhhhhhhhh....he's IMAGINARY. THAT is the message of the video with its "shocking" and "disturbing images" paired with the "great message" of this song. Open your eyes, your ears, your minds and THINK, people!
