@timwins31 except christianity is actually not spreading anymore at all, if anything it's declining rapidly. If you wanna be worried about a monotheist religion spreading like rats across the globe, then that would be Islam in the 21st century. Same shit, different packaging.

[@SpaceCoffee700]

@timwins31 meh it applies all too well to beliefs about things one has no proof of resulting in inevitable destruction

[@patricklongshanks378]

You wouldn't even be alive right now if the catholic church hadn't saved Western Civilization after the fall of Rome. There would have been no renaissance if not for the catholic scribes who preserved Greco Roman philosophy. The Church laid the foundation for Science as well, which flourished in a predominantly Christian civilization. I'm not religious myself, but have some respect and gratitude for the people whom you owe your life to. See: "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization" -Dr. Thomas E. Woods.

[@krakenvshydra]

i think you guys should see what's happening in Europe and Sweden to understand what this song is talking about ;)

I love the lyrics animation here. It really fits the song and definitely raises the quality of the video.

Because its songwriting elements apply to literally any period of fanaticism, which encompasses just about all of human history? It's like praising a psychic over a palm reading. Of course it hit a few soft spots, buckshot does that.

[@Jargon]

Because church has commercialized religion and exploits uncertainty for its own profit since the beginning of human times.

Sorcha the raven not all religious people are like the evangelicals. I’m non-denominational Christian and I’m 100% respectful of your views no matter what they are. Unfortunately the judgmental get the spotlight over those of us who do good for the world.

[@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970]

How does Tobias do that with his 'r's? It's like, kind of rolling his tongues but more at the back of his throat? That's what it sounds like...

[@imrgrimmi1659]

Send a bit of vibration up the back of the tongue with the tip curled.

Actually in spanish we pronounce the 'r's like that (depending on the word). Maybe not as exagerated like this, but we do.
