Great Video For Religious People

If you're religious, then you'd probably find this very inspirational. Good themes, good fitting music, and some nice ideas.

However, it's an immediate put off for somebody like me, who isn't religious. The message is kind of saying humans can't do anything without god, but for those of us who don't believe in any god, that's a pretty big insult.

It may end up that us humans are as worthless as we seem, or it may not, but to give into something like god just to feel good, is just as bad as living an immoral life. You should do as you do because it's right, because it makes sense. Not because of you love or fear some proclaimed all powerful being. You have nothing to support that action, you are running from life by creating excuses for yourself.

There is no logic in religion, it is something people turn to when they don't want to deal with reality.

The Word of God is an offence to those who are perishing. That's probably why many Christian churches have gone squishy.

Our definitions of right (and wrong) can be chaotic. God's definition is the standard.

James 1:27 (in the Bible)
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Thanks for your honesty ;)

Deep! but hear me out...

I am not religious what so ever but I must say this is the reason why i go to newgrounds to find good stuff that has passion, and if anything this is top notch!

You get a lot of animators who use little animation and mostly imagery to convey a message and it ends up being absolute crap! but you my friend have done it properly and captured the emotion in it.

The message might no be for people such as my self but you flash is outstanding keep up the good work this was truly a window into your mind.

My hat's off to you sira!

Hey thanks I appreciate it :)

Very good flash

Well animated. Only thing is I felt the voiceover was a bit low. There was the music and voice, but the voice didn't seem louder than the music. The music seemed to overpower it.

Other than that, very well done.

and for the reviewers getting offended, instead of asking the author to be objective, WE'RE the ones supposed to be objective.

Good points

While i am not very religious, I commend you on your hard work and dedication on this video. You have a very profound message in this, and you might be able to help someone raging at the world, and if you can save one person from making a mistake, then you have made a difference.

Hey thanks man

Takes Ambition & Passion

...to craft something like this. The animation was great and pleasing to the eye; as was the music fitting. Some dips and quality and art style here and there but it's forgivable when the run time is so long. It's a good message, which is a rarity on Newgrounds and the internet in general. I'm glad that you found the drive see this concept all the way through to completion and published it here.

I also believe other reviewers are imbeciles for bringing their beliefs into consideration when judging the overall quality of this work. Even if you don't agree with the message; it's a good message and it's conveyed very well.

All you atheists are just as bad as the overly religious people, all you do is bash religion and impose your own disbelief onto others. This isn't the Youtube comments section so write constructive reviews not one liner BS.

Why thankyou ;)
