FIRST TIME REACTING TO | REN "Dear God"

[@reactivereplays5666]

Do Ren and Chinchilla - "How To Be Me". Ren wrote it after one of his best friends committed suicid. Their harmonies are OUT OF THIS WORLD! Incredible song! I only expose that info because it is not readily apparent in the video. TRUST!

[@anecdotal_mattybs5435]

The live version of course!

[@Melly01]

Definitely do the live version!

[@reactivereplays5666]

@@anecdotal_mattybs5435 correct! I should have added that.

[@maatstaf6399]

She already reacted to that song go check.

[@philk9227]

Wonderful reaction Britt. My reading of the "Messiah is porcelain" line I think is similar to yours, that it is thin and fragile. Something that seems solid but is so inherently fragile it could shatter at any moment. Ren's lyrics are incredible in how much they say in so few words. Loving the reactions. Thank you. All the best from the UK

[@ryderjohnson1293]

Agree, and will add that I think he is referring to it as Kintsugi. Faith may break, but can always be repaired. And in the end, the final product may look completely different than when it started.

[@philk9227]

@@ryderjohnson1293 That is a brilliant analogy

[@BroodingEnt]

I raised my 2 daughters to be just like you.. They are about your age. Love your Ren reactions✌️ I keep sending them Ren songs 🙃

[@Darf652]

This song was written when Ren was a lot younger, before he was properly diagnosed i think. Hi sline about porceline iss about the fact hes knelt down in front of his toilet all the time vomiting from everything his body was going through at the time. You can feel his pain and anguish in this song. You should reacct to Ocean, Humble and Diazepan to get a view on how he was coping with everything. Also, you need to check out The Hunger!

[@sch7194]

Ren is so talented & his music matters 🕊🙏🕊

So glad you continue to react to more music by Ren. He's my new favorite artist. It's not even close.

The world needs more of you who have a sane view of believes. This earth needs more people believe in a God or two. I'm not one because I'm an atheist but I do acknowledge and respect people who believes in a God (in my opinion a non existing God) so I might be an agnostic🙃. 🤓🇸🇪

[@Corvid76]

FYI Ren has a new song dropping today in about 5-6 hours from now called Suicide.

[@stewartgriffin3121]

the porcelin messiah on the shelf! is what I get ♥♥♥

[@KnoxMichaud-fl6ew]

Hi Britt, I love your reactions. What I first heard the porcelain line, I pictured the porcelain Jesus statues that we see in churches and the gift shops

[@InconSteveHable]

"Searching for Prophets, my faith it is paper thin"... or alternatively "Searching for PROFITS my faith it is PAPER thin"...

[@tracycrook2574]

This is one of my favourite Ren songs 🎵

[@rudybrito5471]

I want to know why don't you do Ren more often his catalog is huge and his music is so good

[@Corvid76]

for sure. Humble, Ocean, Hold On, Fire, Crucify Your Culture, Diazepam, wonderful melodic songs that have a lot of depth and insight into Ren. Then all The Big Push songs that he wrote most of.

[@ZM_Merciless]

I feel the same way, seems that britt doesn't like to do things mainstream reactors do. But i like her reactions so it is quite frustrating

[@mariaarmenta1341]

Great reaction thank you beautiful song

[@johnweimer3249]

Excellent reaction.

[@gregstilwell7760]

Porcelain messiah takes me back to the phrase 'praying to the Porcelain God' after drinking too much

[@douglasfrazier2856]

My messiah is porcelain - like a figure on a shelf, an effigy, a figurine? So some kind of kitchen god, talisman, good luck charm: not of any use but to make people feel better. Well of course -- the only thing God really does is alter people's mood; and maybe we're just doing that ourselves -

[@quinjesuis9187]

My Massiah is Porcelain, what does it mean to me, it's pure, lovely, translucent and ever lasting(because porcelain will last a 1000 years if properly taken care of) 😊 I have had all those questions, I asked them, God the Father as always shown me the answers, our physical lives are short; for we are born into this life over and over, because our soul lives forever, why, so we can know and love God the Father; and when this happens, this enlightenment; then at the end of this physical life where we have found this enlightenment, we get to awaken finally into the next life that is Neverending, an eternal life with God the Father as our friend, to walk and talk and sing and dance and spend eternity with with nothing but joy and love ❤️‍🔥

[@silentfenrir6927]

Porcellein: fragile and flawless, his faith is prone to taint and damage so there's a reluctance to handle or question the finer details

[@jamespaivapaiva4460]

Man to God, "what is our purpose"? God, "you have no purpose, but to love"! Peace.

[@mldkenny]

There truly is only one Ren. Please do " How to Be Me " with Chinchilla, it is beautiful and touching.

[@kernelpickle]

His messiah being porcelain could mean that he’s praying to some cheap statue or it’s fragile and all those things-but I think our boy Ren is saying that he just doesn’t give a fuck about religion, given all the hypocrisy that he’s pointed out, so the only praying that he does is the old cliche “praying to the porcelain God” which is a reference to someone throwing up in a toilet, because they’re on their knees in a prayer-like position, only they’re throwing up and hoping there’s an end to their current state of misery. Usually self-inflicted from a night of drinking, but Ren has said that over the course of his struggles with Lyme disease, that he spent a lot of time throwing up and had a hard time keep down his food. That’s another reason he would have to be angry at his God or creator, because if he was trapped in so much misery that seemed unending for a decade until he was finally diagnosed and properly treated, it stands to reason he might feel a bit displeased by his religious views, and would be rather cynical or completely turned off by the entire idea. Not sure if he’s an atheist or not, but he’s a smart guy who went through some horrible shit for no reason, and it’s easy to understand why someone would give it up if it’s clear that there is not God who actually gives a shit about them, and if they do exist, it’s not necessarily someone worth praying to.

[@Lunabracco]

EXACTLY you don't have to be religious to have faith! ❤

[@charleenk71]

Porcelain meant to me ; pure, white, fragile

[@charleenk71]

There is a theme of him (and Chinchilla) dressed in white

[@timothyjohnart]

God (pick one...any one) lives inside us all. Peace.

[@DerVorsitzender]

A lot of the images we have of religion are porcelain pieces. Jesus praying, hands praying, etc.

[@redzwestisbest]

found your channel through ren...thanks for reacting... plus you are beautiful too. Ren would think so too.

[@Jengels888]

I believe the purpose of a short life is to make it valuable. If it never ends, what's the point? Great reaction again!

[@rockyjerome9475]

Hey Britt, I very much enjoyed your reaction here. As you king of mentioned, there are some thought provoking statements in Ren's video, and it should seriously cuase others think out loud and ask questions. Thank you for posting this song!

[@annebiebrich9155]

I'm not sure of what he means by "my Messiah is porcelain " but it could mean a statue of Jesus that he hopes is of the real thing and not just a meaningless porcelain thing imagined?

[@peterdobos1606]

I love your openness to questioning, and acknowledging the difference between religion and faith. Faith can be in anything. Religion is simply an accident of when and where you happen to have been born and raised. "ritualistic" - exactly. nailed it "conversational"...not so much, since it's always one-sided

[@robert_5974]

Its a wonderful song and as a human these are questions that for me seem like ones many internalize but never out loud bc humans dont have the answers. So molding the song around a letter to God is the only way to do it. Ren is creative and a masterful artist painting images in the mind.

[@curmudgeon1933]

Faith and belief are fine as a personal way to come to terms with our mortality. As soon as you have religious 'leaders' you have a problem. Ideas of what is right and wrong, or standards of morality as dogma, as dictated by any particular religion, seems to lead, inevitably, to sectarianism and theocratic oppression. Always remember that 'freedom of religion' also includes 'freedom FROM religion'.

[@tomaszbielak]

[@pirateship74]

Britt, you're a top tier reactor! Thank you!

[@evolutionviii12]

Could his porcelain messiah be a metaphor for the porcelain throne? Could be that he is saying he is turning to alcohol so much that he is praying to the porcelain gods. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Kind of makes sense in context.

[@sem1conscious]

To me porcelain is pretty and fragile, maybe like his faith that was on the verge of breaking.

[@supertuscans9512]

Britt, if you found the subject matter of this track interesting, you should really react to ‘Patience’ by Ren, it’s very empowering.

[@ryderjohnson1293]

I'd like to commend Britt for being able to openly share and discuss her faith and beliefs without being aggressive about it.

[@jonathanmcfarland1407]

I don't think we should push anyone into any 1 religious box. How about we all just work on bettering ourselves? Instead of telling others how to live their lives. Not judging others on the choices they've made or have yet to make. Their income, race, nationality, sex, gender or, religion. Just treat everyone with kindness, compassion and empathy. I've been trying to better myself. It's extremely difficult trying to change any habit let alone the ones that become the most damaging. The same goes with unhealthy thought patterns. There's too much service to self in this world. And that's mostly out of survival and greed. Its no coincidence that so many people are living check to check. Week to week. It becomes that much more difficult to better oneself or others. We're so focused on paying that next bill, that we can't move forward as human beings. And this is done deliberately. I've been a selfish person all of my adult life if not most of childhood as well. Self awareness was never a strength of mine, until 3 years ago when suddenly i was without a place to call home. And had to endure the most difficult time SO FAR in my life. You quickly learn to be grateful for even the smallest thing. And that perspective IS everything. The last 2 years I've worked on being less selfish and more selfless. God willing, i will become more of a service to my family and to others as more time passes. I think I'm still 65% service of self and 35% service to others. But that's being generous. Still A LOT more work to be done. Love ya Britt! Say hello to your cousin for me! I need another reaction duet from you two! Still wishing nothing but the best for you and those you love! Peace!

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I've always thought he is referring to it being fragile

[@wakiyan8462]

"My Messiah is porcelain". Messiah's are saviors meant to save but porcelain is just shiny and eye catching and highly sought after.. When put under pressure porcelain snaps and has no durability or strength..It just looks pretty, with little real usefulness...I was just contemplating this morning how MY RIGHTEOUSNESS seems so right but leads me down a path into turmoil...❤Peace...

[@brittreacts]

thanks for the insight!

[@CoffeeBlaylock-xm4kc]

I believe that religions are being thrown as rocks everybody else no matter what religion you believe in you’re throwing it as a rock hurt other people because it’s not your religion, and his bi is porcelain is getting chipped. It’s getting fragile and your point where all that belief is going away, I’ll Lost All Faith is another great song to listen to, in my opinion

[@gcarap]

Don't know if anyone told you earlier, but no need to filter Ren videos.

[@ericpetty8387]

The following is a joke. You know what the porcelain god is, correct? L O L

[@drink8ace]

You choose sides?

[@peterdobos1606]

A very similar song of his is "Do You Believe?" Oh and the porcelain thing is likely fragility, but it could also be whiteness.

[@Andy.Smurphy]

Always seemed strange to me how seemly intelligent people believe in a God ..! the notion is so ridiculous

[@johnboyd7983]

I'm flabbergasted that seemingly intelligent people can't see the intentional design in everything from sub-atomic particles to the vast cosmos.

[@IronRaspberry]

Intelligence has nothing to do with it. Faith in a higher power isn’t based on an IQ. The God gene hypothesis proposes that human spirituality is influenced by heredity and that a specific gene predisposes humans towards spiritual belief and experiences.

[@keymaker-k7h]

religious faith isnt a higher power, just something people tell themselves... thinking it is shows an immense lack of intelligence

[@IronRaspberry]

@@keymaker-k7hIf someone has religious faith, then what the heck do you think they’re believing in, if not a higher power? 🙄 And you don’t need religion for that.

[@ralphhughes7250]

There is no anchor.. faith in depression doesn't exist. When you ask and plead the questions to God most of us never get answered. I love that you have faith. But I stopped believing 40 years ago. Ren brings to light what a lot of people have been asking. This is nothing new.. still no answers. UnUnfortunately it's just life.
