The spiritual & religious video thread

I've just come across a great video that shows both sides of the creationism vs. science debate, that I had to share it with everyone. Since I didn't know where to post it, it occurred to me that this would be as good an opportunity as any to start off a video thread. There's lots of interesting stuff out there on youtube and similar sites, so lets start posting it.

So here's the first one (little piece of advice: Watch it in full screen mode. The animation is awesome):

Here's a link to a pretty interesting documentary about the history of the devil.
It's the first part of the documentary, but you'll easily be able to navigate your way around:

And I have another one. This one is about the many parallels of Jesus and other, earlier gods, especially Horus. And about the astrological background to many of those believes:

This video technically doesn't belong here, but the technology forum seems to be a place for nerds, so I'll just post it in here...it's priceless

I love Neil Degrasse Tyson "we are in the universe & the universe is in us"

his book Death by Blackhole is quality as well.

Here's another nice one about Biblical literalism:

In this case, you'll love this:

http://thesciencenetwork.org/BeyondBelief2/

These are the sites of the "Beyond Belief" conferences. You'll find hours (lots of them) worth of footage where some of the brightest scientists and other influential individuals of our time discuss the "religion vs. science" debate from their respective points of view.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of them and he alone has two talks that are about 45 min each.

I especially like the discussions after the different talks. But be careful, I found these videos to be highly addictive. I've spent two entire weekends doing nothing but watching this...

Damn that intellectual mind.

Could you tell which college that was?

I didn't get very far - when her voice started to get all warbly and she was repenting for the "idolatry of worshiping the mind" or whatever, I bailed. Yikes.

This is far less serious than the other stuff in this thread - but a lot more fun.

You oughta skip to the end of the commencement speech then--it gets better.

Frankly, I'm not terribly surprised where that went.

It makes me want to punch the parents right in the mouth.

Seen em' but thanks, they are great.

Here's a BBC documentary about the lost Gospels:

It's worth checking out...see how different the Christian believes might have been if any of those ended up in the Bible.

Scare tactics at their finest...don't you just love it?

It doesn't even make sense...the law has to be obeyed, otherwise we have to face the consequences, but if we take a lawyer we're forgiven...wow, what a great concept of justice...

I just watched this whole show on youtube... all I can say is wow...unbelievable. The scene at the radio station (part5) reminded me of a drug addict who needed very badly to get her fix.

My personal favourite saint.

There's not necessarily anything wrong with masturbation or naming yourself on a message board after masturbation. Jesus is bigger than that.
