The Evolution of God

submitted by dystopianfuturetoday

1 decade 6 years 10 months 2 weeks ago

A thoughtful journey through the various ways people perceive God. The piece is originally entitled 'The Foxhole Manifesto'.

About the artist: Nick Fox-Gieg is an animator and video artist based in Toronto. His short films have been shown at the Rotterdam and Ottawa film festivals, at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and on Canada's CBC TV. He's received three U.S. state Media Arts Fellowships, and was awarded a Fulbright grant to the Netherlands in 2006.

If he doesn't care if god exists, I guess he doesn't care about being correct or living in reality.

wha?

Wow, I liked this! Thanks for sharing it and for providing info on the artist. A pretty fair critism with a nice personal ending.

Way to not make any sense, brain.

Great video, btw.

"If he doesn't care if god exists, I guess he doesn't care about being correct or living in reality."

And with that comment, somewhat predictably, videosift comments begin the slow and inexorable descent into childlike youtube idiocy.

I *certainly* don't care about living in reality.

"If he doesn't care if god exists, I guess he doesn't care about being correct or living in reality."

What kind of inane comment is that? Did you just ignore ALL of the rest of the poem?

You seriously just don't get anything at any level deeper than just below the surface.

Man that's a ridiculous comment.

FWIW, I believe the creator of this viddy is Jewish.

that was great.
"i don't care if he doesn't exist" is 99% what i think. I care a little bit. Out of curiosity.
