I watched this and wondered, what would the world be like if we put our ideas into action. This challenges the crap out of me and I'm pissed that I dont live up to what it's putting across. A little bit of spark, enjoy and comment.

Well that was a wonderful showcase of twisted ideology.

It showed a jock being duped into doing the right thing by somebody who did fuck all, doing something to help those less fortunate by removing their choice to face their own problems, becoming an emotional wreck upon the death of a loved one and in a depressive spiral surrendering all responsibility for his life to a fiction and retreating into a world of superstitious falsehood to cover the inadequacies of his character and to make it all worse he preached his subversive doctrine to others helping to mmerse them in falsehood and ignorance.

The song however while dull, whining and exceptionally repetative did have a good point get your arse in gear and help make the world a place that it's people deserve it to be.

Run off to God, and let the world sort out itself? Is that the message? And:

"Where can you run to escape yourself?"

Ugh . . . Who the fuck wrote that shit? A 12 year old?

That whiny, chord-heavy, Christo-emo shit made it even worse.

It makes me rather sad that an artist with a talent capable of producing that animation would be inclined to waste it on spreading superstitious delusions.

Wow, you guys must've never heard of Switchfoot. I'm more inclined to August Burns Red myself but they're not as horrible as you guys make them out to be. I'm willing to bet if they were atheist you'd give a better review.

I'm a pretty staunch opponent of religion in all it's forms, but it really doesn't matter to me what somebody believes in, if the music they produce is dull and whiney I don't tend to like it.

Some of my favorite artists are in fact a orthadox jewish MC, a rastafarian and a bunch of balkan orthadox christians. I don't care that they persist in what I see as dangerous delusions I still like their music.

To be honest I was quite liking it initially until I realised it had repeated itself for the sixth time or so.

i thought the animation quality was barely mediocre tbh; their lineart and perspective is atrocious.

As for the characters they look like they've been traced from manga comics by someone with little drawing ability of their own.

I thought it was as jolly a piece of God rock as I've ever heard, with a very inspiring message.

I might convert.

God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.

Ahhh religious bullshit... a tiny fragment of the shattered shield that scared idiots use to hide from progress and intelligence.

So I can't do anything like in the video unless I believe in make-belief friends? Jesus christ!
