The music is first "Refugee" by Tom Petty and second "Vicious World" by Rufus Wainwright.
"Poetry" is Pablo Neruda's most clear statement about poetry and how it functioned in his life. Although very personal, it is also a very universal statement. It can be found in his 1964 collection "Memorial De Isla Negra."
I've edited the text very slightly.
...And tell me what you think...
An essay in which I critique the increasing suggestion that atheism and theists are really all the different and this idea of the literal and ambiguity... enjoy!

I ommited mention of the Jezuzfreek777 video in the interests of time.
PLEASE -- if you happen to, in the end, think I'm right and she's wrong (which wasn't my point) don't go spamming her.
The third and probably final essay about the exploits of Mr. Fang -- plus a very true rumination of my own experience with death threats.

I wonder if Mr. TogetherForPeace will grant this is a video response. Here, anyway, is the video to which this is a video response:

Here's a little literary critique of two songs by Rufus Wainwright with particular relevance to Christians. I am indebted to R. Bourland for his description of "Agnus Dei" and a variety of artists for their visual materials.
Can you justify the existence of Hell with the benevolence of God the creator?
It is my hope that Christian YouTubers will respond to my question with actual video responses. I find that the formality of having to make a response makes for a simply more honest and thorough exchange and I hope to spark some dialogue (that isn't about VenomFangX).
A brief response of TogetherForPeace's latest insult to atheists, theists, and artists.

Reading the original lyrics might be helpful...
(Does anyone else think it's wierd that this video has more views that the video to which it's responding?)
In response to randyhelzerman, in this video I present a brief survey of some pretty abstract literary theory in an attempt to see why Gods (or heros) die bloody deaths.
A little bit of YouTubery -- a few recommendations including me.
