Thanks for watching the video

[@ironklaw]

I enjoy that you come from a religious background and you're willing to look critically at the inherent flaws of organized religion. I'm not religious, so it's nice to see a religious person's take on this.

[@tomygirl18]

Well said! 👏 I've always avoided talking about religion with people due to his examples of people getting angry or not being able to accept that they might be wrong so it was refreshing to hear such a well thought out and open-minded reaction 😊❤

[@eksiarvamus]

I come from a majority irreligious country and the few actually religious people are mostly quite fringe, so it's quite interesting to hear from such open-minded people from a religious background.

[@Courier_Seven]

I'm religious and organized religion scares me.

[@AA-xb2zm]

I think why your Bo reactions are so good is you both have a good dose of self awareness, and respect for other opinions. As well as an ability to respond with fair, honest, and insightful reactions to their point of view. Keep up the good work.

[@lashedsuns4529]

I second this.

[@sophieceleste4771]

Exaktly. Wanted to say the same, but you found better words for it.

[@ArchaicScryptz]

"Dear Sky-Daddy" is the best thing of 2021 LOL

[@SuffiReax]

Lol

[@incognitogirl6201]

Haha yeah definitely not one Ive heard before. Lol

[@Goldenrod6901]

I'm an atheist and your genuine self awareness and understanding of comments Bo made is so... unbelievably refreshing. I live in an area where everyone is the Kent Hovind brand of religous and its so beautiful to hear someone who's both religous and understanding and tolerant of others views. Amazing video

[@MayorBrownn]

It’s crazy that this was performed in 2010. I believe he was 19 here.

[@incognitogirl6201]

Holy cow, i cant believe it was that long ago!!

[@brandipelkey6288]

One of my favorite sayings that I've heard is there's no hatred like Christian "love".

[@xanadu6784]

I think, "From God's Perspective" is a great companion piece for this song. It definitely rounds out Bo's thoughts on religion.

[@yugonasty]

god does not believe in you

[@tomygirl18]

One of my favorites from Bo ❤

[@gongju1319]

To be fair, Bo has admitted in interviews that he was a little bit harsh in his past songs about religion. He has been more open minded on the subject which is why he threw in some religious topics in his song problematic and all eyes on me.

[@theperson8539]

Really? I doubt he'd be referring to this one, considering that all of the points he raised were towards genuinely concerning things then and remain an issue to this day. The issue with any religion is that it claims an autonomy on absolutely everything; all aspects of life and existence. This makes it so that a religion (fundamentally) cannot be inoffensive; by definition, it must offend and discredit all other such claims completely.

[@gongju1319]

@@theperson8539 lol well everyone will get offended by some little thing. Hence the song problematic. That’s why Bo took down “my whole family” and reuploaded it because his mom is religious and found that song very offensive lol.

[@gongju1319]

@@theperson8539 “i highly doubt he'd be referring to this one” Lol obviously you've never seen his other videos.

[@thegirlwhoships]

As far as I'm aware he has (repeatedly) talked about how his teen humor is bad in regards of how he handles the topic of homosexuality, not religion. That tracks if you consider that in Problematic he's judging My Whole Family, which has the punchline of "am I gay? lol" that is something he's openly despised for years (and not really any big religious topics other than a couple of lines). Problematic is also a visual parody of how apology videos happen, with the obvious self-crucification they include as well as making himself a thirst trap, which is something people will do following apology videos to move the topic away from their mistake. Overall I think his take on it is having the punchline of his jokes being prejudiced against minorities that have done nothing but be who they are.

[@dem0litionsss]

@@gongju1319 his mom initially was offended by “my whole family” because she thought BO was being homophobic and didn’t like it, not that she was religious and homophobic

[@ChocoKid26]

You know you're in for a treat when the reaction video is like 7 times longer than the actual video. Very appropriate to go on a rant about religon on a video called Rant, nice work. I hope you reacts to more videos with this theme because as an athiest I think is super facinating to listen to other people talk about their religous experience especially since you seem to have a very open minded mindset and have continued to believe even if you dont practise it. All in all a great video.

[@HeartMindConnection]

I agree…it’s not something I’ve come across often. As someone who is agnostic, I am very curious what Catholic/Christian ‘beliefs’ @suffireax still holds despite being so distant/seemingly estranged from the church.

[@AA-xb2zm]

@@HeartMindConnection I think it is becoming more common for those to questions the religious institution and separating that from their belief system, which may still include a God.

[@cindymartinez2152]

Yesss, yes. And also what Bo said about bigger problems happening, but him praying for his dog is just like Tim sang about the starving masses, malaria and aids but Sam focusing on his mom's eyes hahaha

[@SuffiReax]

Yessss haha definitely parallels between the two

[@precious6303]

Man I gotta see him react to "Kill Yourself" ahaha.

[@Kerrigore2]

I really appreciate your open-mindedness on such a tough topic, sadly an increasingly rare quality these days. Another great reaction!

[@Orliepoo]

I would say you're a Christian. You act more Christ-like (Christian) than many that actually call themselves Christian. You respect your neighbor's thoughts and feelings and treat them how you would like to be treated. You're a very kind and insightful, not demeaning, person; how Christians are supposed to be.

[@SuffiReax]

Thank you, I appreciate that

[@misteruncanny]

@@SuffiReax Christian instead of Christian™

[@ProtoPerson]

Read Leviticus 20:13. You can't just ignore passages if it's truly the "word of god". Having faith without being faithful to all the words of god I'm pretty sure is a sin, unless you ignore those parts too I guess. In which case it's just illegitimate. Is this not all just another form of religious hypocrisy?

[@gurocandii]

As someone with a lot of religious trauma this song was always a fave of mine for a sort of cathartic comfort and seeing your thoughts and point of view as a religious person is super interesting, I really enjoyed this! :]

[@Rosie-ij3on]

I think I just figured out the wordplay for this line: "Debra Messing's fingers in a holy place, hail Mary, full of Grace" Debra Messing played Mary in the 1999 film "Jesus" and is most well known for playing Grace in the series "Will and Grace" Now, if you have a dirty mind you can probably get what act he's hinting at

[@lisa_gay]

Thanks for acknowledging his impressive rhymes. What looks at first like nothing more than a list of puns has such a deeper meaning which opens up all of these discussions about religion. THAT is what I find the most brilliant about Bo's music: he mocks a musical form even as he uses that form to deliver a powerful message far deeper than any song that uses that form in a sincere way. hashtag-deep. :D P.S. All religions are just blind men describing an elephant.

[@m.a.sperry3424]

"P.S. All religions are just blind men describing an elephant." Brilliant!!!

[@duvade1]

Dude, your videos are in a different category from ‘Reaction’. This should be called an analysis!! This is what i want from a lot of reaction channels. You’ve taken a 3 minute video and filled it with personal experience, opinions and very easy way of conveying your thoughts. Good stuff dude

[@matthewzimmerman5064]

Fantastic reaction! My mother is/was a pastor and we have had some deep conversations on the subject. Her church lost 10+ percent of the members a few years back when they openly accepted the LGBTQ community. I also could not accept that if you’re a great person your entire life but are without faith you wouldn’t go to heaven but a horrible person on death row who committed murder would be accepted if they truly repented and asked for forgiveness. This is why churches focus sermons on the book of Matthew and similar passages that avoid those topics. Bo is such a brilliant person who has a good understanding of life and delivers a deep message in the form of comedy.

[@ApsaraMenaka]

I really like your thoughts and reaction on this. I think "Nerds" from Bo Burnham would be an interesting song to react to.

[@catloowitlatkla6116]

Yes!

[@mattdcloud5418]

Becoming atheist (16 yrs ago) and getting rid of social media (6 yrs ago) was some of the best decisions of my life.

[@VIVI-xt3rg]

You should check Eff by Bo, really cool song, one of my favorites by far

[@marisamish]

I absolutely love your reactions, especially the Bo ones. I have been listening to his music for a decade and it's so refreshing to see such insightful conversations to his songs. Keep it up, I know Bo appreciates it as much as his fans do

[@ThatRandomDude204]

One of my favorites mostly because of the lyrics saying about how children are to young for all the strict religion stuff

[@hrisi23]

For me at least there is clear devide in believing in God and believing in what the church has to say, or even the Bible. It is quite controversial, I know, but I truly believe that at its core it's all love, acceptance and trying to be a better person and I personally haven't seen any of these things from any religious organization so why should I support it. Thank you for the great reaction as always and for keeping an open mind, there are fewer amd fewer people who welcome a debate on a topic as this one.

[@SuffiReax]

You make a great point and I agree with you. The modern church has become a business (9 times out of 10), they are more concerned with a nice building, cool camps, hip pastors, and basically just a motivational speech on sunday as they pass the offering plate.

[@MickSkitz]

It's great to see your breakdown with your knowledge and experience to add value and context which allows you to catch many things many other reactors didn't get with this one. Thank you

[@germanbushin9723]

Hey, man, been a fan for a while now since you react to a lot of stuff I enjoy, like Bo and twenty one pilots and stuff. I just have to say that in this endless sea of reaction channels that floods KZbin you are a unique creator. Honestly, it is hard to apply the term 'creator' to people on reaction channels, but you are definitely an exception with how much personal perspective you bring to the stuff you react to. You always have something to say and often the things you say are quite profound. Keep up the good work, man!

Finally! 😂 I’ve been waiting for your reaction to this song. And you definitely didn’t disappoint. I love hearing your genuine thoughts... that you will let your thoughts fall without restrictions. Instead of just “vibing” to the songs & saying “that was a cool tune.” afterwards. I’m not a hugely religious person but growing up with friends who were from different religions & learning things from them. This song is just so good. His word plays, his lines, his flow. It’s one of my go to songs when I turn on Bo Burnham. Thank you so much for reacting, I know a lot of us were begging for this song. 😂🥰

I just found your channel and have been binge watching your Bo Burnham reactions and they are phenomenal! I love how you look at the superficial meaning and the deeper meaning. It's a gift to be able to get both and explain it. Side note: Did you catch the lines Debra Messing's finger's in a holy place; hail Mary full of grace? A little pop culture Will and Grace reference.

[@harmonicflow1899]

Bro your insight and intuition on these reactions are so spot on, keep up the amazing work, or not, do you, be happy 😁 but seriously you're very good at what you do.

[@playedbydianna]

I always LOVE your reactions. Your opinions are insightful and you approach topics with such an open-mindedness that's rare to see nowadays. I've watched a ton of your videos ranging from every Twenty One Pilots one to your Linkin Park ones to other random ones and I found you through your Bo ones and just adore when you post them because I love seeing someone actually think critically about what they're watching compared to many other reaction channels. Anyway! Keep up the good work! For more song recs from Bo: I'd recommend "Nerds," "That Funny Feeling," "Are you happy?," and "Straight White Male" ! :)

[@hootiehome]

Suffi, you are so perceptive and can articulate your thoughts back to us so well. You are now my favorite BB reactor.

Love that you're open to debate and not locked in on your opinion. And that you can see hypocrisy when its warranted. We need more people like you so we can have debates/disagreements and not fights/wars!

[@thegirlwhoships]

I've seen many people react to this video and I think you're the one that understood it best. I'm glad you actually discussed some of the things he said with an open mind and honesty without getting defensive or shutting down or being afraid to give an opinion on the internet, we all know this is rare on such a topic.

[@viridian5maureen853]

It's interesting watching contemporary reactors tackle this song since they often don't totally get the topical parts, like gay marriage being something President Obama didn't initially support as a thing that should be made legal, Debra Messing being from "Will & Grace," and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina (which made a double of "Blasphemer"/"blast FEMA").

[@SuffiReax]

You are very right on that, each of those things went right over my head cause I was too young when those were happening to know much about them.

[@viridian5maureen853]

@@SuffiReax ​ @Suffi Reax You and many, many others! Then I end up wondering how many of the reactors know what the Macarena dance looked like. Bo was fortunate that Benedict was Pope at the time, since he couldn't have anywhere near as much lyrical fun with Pope Francis' name.

[@mattelder2022]

I absolutely love your reactions to Bo, because so many other reactions just touch on the surface whereas you actually take time to think about it and break it down. Would love to hear your reaction to so much of George Carlin's material, especially the religious bits. It seems you focus more on music but that would be an instant click for me. Perhaps I'll have to join the Patreon to make sure that happens.

[@SuffiReax]

That is actually a very interesting idea, I haven't thought about reacting to a comedian before but it could make for some interesting discussion or topics.

[@Time_Is_Left]

Yesss, this is always the reaction I wait for, I appreciate your POV! I was raised devout and conservative, now anti-theist and far left. My deconversion started with teenage me starting to notice on my own almost everything he talks about here. I’ve come a long way since then and even softened on harshness like Bo has, but hearing this for the first time a few years ago was a “holy shit it’s not just me” moment

[@winkelsarah]

This is maybe my favourite bo burnham reaction from you (although there are songs I like more by him). Probably because I'm also from a (german) evangelical background. The rant is so full of good lines and great thoughts about church, about god and the way we want him to be or make him be. I'm so glad that you totally get it because of your own experience with Christianity. That makes this video double interesting. I can totally relate to your thoughts and the examples you gave about prayer or false humility. I absolutely know what you mean and it breaks my heart. I think Christians could actually be a great benefit to the world if they just weren't so busy being against everything half the time and the other half so self centered.

[@BlackieChan21E]

Big Ooooof! I love how you pointed out the prayer thing. I also grew up super Christian and still am today but I'm also super critical of a lot of it and a big thing that came along with the prayer thing is that I'm also bisexual and I new for a while and just kinda ignored it, but at 17 it hit me hard and I couldn't even ignore it anymore and started praying to be straight for YEARS. Like 17-21 and I got prayer from my youth leaders, my other youth group friends, church leaders, guest preachers and my family and after years of praying to be straight, reading my bible, quoting scripture and it not working I did blame myself for it. Like maybe I wasn't praying hard enough, or believing enough, or that simply me liking guys, even with never acting on it at this point, was so sinful that my prayers wouldn't be answered. It got so bad I started just praying to die cause it would be easier and if I died before ever acting on it I would still have a chance at heaven. Im now 27 and like I said still fairly Christian, I even finished reading through the whole bible a few months ago. But I'm also openly bi, although I still have my own reservations on it and honestly it still holds me back from dating a guy cause it scares me it would be unforgivable. But I've given up on trying to pray it away lol. My family still tries but that's about it. But all that to say I really enjoyed your video and you takes on all these videos.

[@jamisonking3613]

I enjoyed this. Thank you. One thing that you'd probably want to know about is that I know that Catholics don't appreciate being separated from Christians (I think you said a couple of times things like "I'm not coming from a Catholic perspective but a Christian one") which is like saying Catholics are not Christians. I may only be aware of this from marrying into a Catholic family, but it seems a fair critique. I'm an atheist (not one of the dickish one's though I hope) so this isn't my battle I know but if I were talking about these things publicly I'd want to know about this just so I could consider it in the future. I do think it''s kind of funny that this is what my immediate reaction was to this video.

What I've been hoping for from a reaction

[@SirNightmareFuel]

ayy great reaction, good job. interesting to hear your stance on the topic. For me the way that made the most sense for religion is something like Fate. Going the force of nature route escapes much of the hypocrisy and of God's blurred human-inhuman style. It mainly promotes acceptance of what is, and for things like moral guidance you can draw from other places eg the people in your life.

[@loganpeters7543]

I love your reactions and perspective. Especially this one as you have a unique experience growing up in a very devout Protestant household. However (I am not religious at all), and this may be silly, Catholics are Christians. Protestants are Christians also. So when you say Catholics and Christians as different things, it isn't accurate from what I have been taught. You are also not the only person I have heard say this but my religious studies teacher said the belief in Christ as the savior and God's son is what makes a "Christian". I guess I am saying that people should be saying Protestant, or specifying Lutheran or Universalism or Baptist. If anyone has insight I would love to hear and discuss.

[@tybrennan7780]

Perfect. Just perfect. I can’t wait for more

[@em01455]

As someone with a lot of baggage from being raised in a church that was very hateful and discouraged free thought, analysis, and questioning scripture this song was always incredibly cathartic and your reaction was very comforting. It seems like we had/have very similar issues with the Church and reconciling that with our individual fate. I remember coming home crying because I was told to shut up after asking questions about the particular passages my CCD class covered because my interpretation was more historical context meets allegory instead of cold hard truth. I’m also queer so that didn’t help. I now focus on folk magic wich while influenced by Christianity (saints, Jesus Mary and Joseph) is less all encompassing you’ll burn in hell for intrusive thoughts and more there’s something out there do good to others and the land and you’ll revive help in return.

[@ctrinterful]

[@palpablenotion]

One thing before my comments - it's the Protestant Churches and the Catholic Church(es, the Russian and Greek Orthodoxes also function as Catholic, but I cant remember which has its own pope). There's dozens of denominations under Protestantism. Not the Christian Church and Catholic Church. (Only pointing it out because I have to correct my pastor uncle soooooooooo much when he claims catholics are non Christians that are going to hell... he's not my favorite pastor 👎) I love calling out hypocrisy in the church (the church being the non monolith but monolithic looking from the outside group of all denominations - protestants, catholics, orthodox, etc). I get defensive of attacking the faith aspects, but the people all fall short (I am myself a proud Christian who has had to unlearn a lot of the people influenced things and struggled for years because I'm a queer Christian but it took until I was 23 to be able to finally say I'm not straight because I was so scared of it) Bo is on point about the institutions and the (loud) leadership. (By loud I mean who we hear from in popular culture, mega church pastors and televangelists [except you, Billy Graham♡ but def your son] and ordained men who become politicians) I wish more Christians were raised to read the texts in the original languages. Did you know Jesus healed a man brought to him by a Roman soldier who called the man his lover? Most people don't because of how it's translated. If I'd read the gospels in their original language, maybe I wouldn't have been terrified of my own identity. I've listened to sermons and sat there getting so upset because the preacher was literally wrong. He - always he, omg, the original church had so many women leaders, there were deaconesses from the start - wouldn't have done any real research, looked into even the footnotes. I learned more about my faith in college history classes than some pastors. But I was blessed to have a youth pastor who was an ex-con and his situation made him really research our lessons beforehand.

[@DoraScarlet]

I fucking LOVE your reactions

[@genostellar]

I wish that I could rhyme like that. Not so much into rap, but impressed with the rhymes all the same. And to be fair, Bo's raps are fine. Much better than most other rap artists who rhyme two words that barely rhyme or are easy to rhyme and then smile or laugh as if they just did something impressive. Bo is actually impressive and doesn't throw in any stupid laugh or stretching of a word to emphasize the fact that he rhymed. I really hate it when rap artists do that in their raps. "Check my rhymes, I flow with the times, just like the wind upon wind chi~imes, heh." Makes me want to slap them when they do that.

[@Itsant33]

Little rapping bit... But I do agree with that assured line though. Most people just kind of take it at face value and don't question it. And I spoke about this with my godfather because he was one of my teachers during confirmation that someone should be able to question religion not for the sake of denouncing it but just to be able to question it in itself. Because a belief isn't really a belief if you don't even bother to understand it at all.

The lead singer had a crisis of faith and when his daughter was born he just thought "I can't lie to her and raise her to believe these things I'm not even sure I do" You & Me (and the boatman) Fear and Fallacy sitting in a tree Everything louder than everything else And especially The Easy Confidence I know I'm not a patreon so I don't expect anything right away but it'd be a nice break away from some of the other artists you cover on your channel and I do think you'd enjoy them lyrically at least. Hope you consider it BTW, loving all the insight into these songs hence my recommendation here. Keep up the great work dude. Much love from the UK

My family is very passively Christian in that in the past 3-5 generations it wasn't pushed or church oriented but many of us chose to go to church to learn for ourselves. Most of us ended up with a Bo-Like attitude or agnostic/atheist take on things.

At 13-17ish the hypocrisy of the majority of my church really began to set in and all these amazingly flawed but honest humans I knew were demonized while church going people who were worse were protected and celebrated and I couldn't reconcile it within myself or continue to follow

[@digbyanderson5556]

I think you're the first Christian I've ever seen that's a genuinely kind caring and good person, thank you :)

[@MasterTobiification]

praying is not not to be an asking exercise its so post to be giving thanks or asking for guidance like "dear lord thank you for this week that i made it thought and for what you provided that help me make it" or " how can i do better on a test" than you hope he give you a sign and that you even notice the sign to begin with not asking to help you do better on a test which is why i left the church my self. I also left because what i was being told did not match what i saw and read my self.

I glad to see most people in the comment section are open minded. Normally I see anarchist say "thanks for being open to criticism" then go on to bash your beliefs or Christian's say "I understand why you would question" then go on to tell you why your a bad person. All we truly know is we don't know anything. There are no guarantees or proofs when it comes to the creation of all creation.

The point about the act of praying being selfish if it's for anything other than the big issues - That's the most humble shit ..I wish a lot more people would think about that. Like most people say they "love" God but act purely out of self preservation even if they dont recognise it themselves. Bo's flow tho O.O

I'm by no means religious, but this guy's alright. I really like how instead of blindly defending his faith he acknowledges the hypocrisy, and the crappy people that are part of the majority of religions

Question how much would i need to pay on patron to have you do a whole album its instrumental only but its only 5 songs. Ive never seen anyone cover not one of their songs from any album theyve ever done. I’d love to see you do it.. especially since youre married. (It’s a love album) and it would get the band out to more people even tho they have been around for 20 years

[@caitlin329]

Catholics and Protestants are both equally Christians. I suggest you read into the history of it more; it's pretty interesting. It seems wild to me that so many people don't understand their own religion in the context of the world and world history.

[@lostsouldancing]

I've very much enjoyed your reaction videos for Bo and Tim. You have an amazing talent for looking deeper into their art. I wanted to suggest something a little different if it hasn't already been brought to your attention. Eminem. I'd love to see your reaction to two of his songs where he just absolutely kills it in the speed department. "Rap God" and "Godzilla" anyways, SUBSCRIBE AND LIKE THIS MAN!!!

[@SuffiReax]

This reaction is the first time people have begun to request eminem, its interesting that this is the one to have sparked those requests/suggestions haha

I grew up in a non-denominational church. Same church my whole life, surrounded by the same people. I didn’t know there were other religions until, like, second or third grade. And I remember it made me uncomfortable, which, looking back, the fact that I wasn’t inherently accepting of everyone makes me feel horrible. As I got older, I started to question things a lot more. I started having complicated questions about God and religion itself. I got to do a lot of thinking about that during Quarantine since church services weren’t open. So I wasn’t having everything forced down my throat every week. I decided I wouldn’t go to church anymore. I didn’t want to associate myself with a group of people who are largely hypocritical and hateful. Especially considering I’m a queer person. Can you be a Christian and be queer? Absolutely. And I still believe in God/an afterlife. I just don’t align with organized religion. I just kinda want to do my own thing. So I’d describe myself as Agnostic, I guess.

Eff is a great listen - Tons of F-bombs though. It's Bo giving straight opinions on everything. Truth bombs everywhere

[@finger5853]

posting some bo songs you could react to Sad Straight White Male (this one probably has bo’s best piano playing) Problematic Channel 5: the Musical (one of my personal favourite bo songs) That Funny Feeling Oh Bo Words Words Words Are You Happy? #Deep

Try and find a video of his song "30" it is one of my favorites off of his special Inside the artistic style of the video is great
