I like to think this (although scene would be better with more child murder)
but PBS says:
What’s a murder of crows?
A group of crows is called a “murder.” There are several different explanations for the origin of this term, mostly based on old folk tales and superstitions.

For instance, there is a folktale that crows will gather and decide the capital fate of another crow.

Many view the appearance of crows as an omen of death because ravens and crows are scavengers and are generally associated with dead bodies, battlefields, and cemeteries, and they’re thought to circle in large numbers above sites where animals or people are expected to soon die.

But the term “murder of crows” mostly reflects a time when groupings of many animals had colorful and poetic names.

I posted this because I found it to be quite sensible as far as religion goes, which is refreshing. However, I do have some issues with this perspective: First of all, theres very little actual "bible" left in this message, I mean, seriously, how much of that can actually said to be Christianity? Isn't this just vague deism at best, and with a good sprinkle of humanism and modern philosophy?

Hearing theology like this, reminds me of an old folktale I grew up with, called "Nail Soup" Basically, the story is about a man who convinces a woman he can boil soup on nothing but a rusty nail. Throughout the story he fools the woman into putting "extra, but strictly superflous" ingredients, like salt,pepper,various vegetables,leftover meat etc into the soup, and it turns out to be great soup much to the womans surprise, and she exclaims "And all that on a nail! amazing!"

Anyway, in this video, I think Christianity plays the role of that nail, useless and insignificant, and completely marginalized. Sure the priest would tell me that thats "what real Christianity is" but I won't really buy it. Christianity has to, on some level, like everything else, be defined by what makes it unique, and how it is generally presented, practiced and interpreted. And by those qualifications, this priest is every bit as far of from the "message" as the westboro baptist church (albeit in the complete opposite direction, naturally) is.

So to summarize, I think Spong share most of my humanistic views, but i think his religion is an superfluos parasite in this worldview, and we see the world clearer without it.
