How do you pick up the pieces? How do you begin again? Are we like shattered glass... so broken that we can no longer reflect an image? Can't be! I think our lives can be broken and often are broken so that our souls can gleam. Our lives must be broken to allow our souls which are unbreakable to reflect its true image. The image of God. Break me so that YOU can shine forth from me!
This is a very nice video and a nice message, but there is nothing about the message in this video that cannot be achieved without the need for a god or religion. Its a secular message sponsored by a religious group.
A friend (A) found one of the writers (B) in my group objectionable because B had a natural "authority" about her that A did not like. When A learned the life that B had lived and a few of B's life-handicaps, A was shocked. "How could B even have the strength to live with her problems?" It was a valuable lesson about judging others.
I can't believe some people saw it funny or hilarious. And why should you bring any religious or scientific matter to debate? Does it make sense? This video only wanted you all to learn that deep deep down inside, every single person has his or her own suffering. Just need to understand. Get it?
As in the well known expression "Do not judge a man until you walked a mile in his shoes". Which is the same thought as expressed in "Chapters of the Fathers" 2:5 "Do not judge your fellow until you have reached his place." The video is pretty cool; like Rod Serling's Twilight Zone TV show, it illustrates a point about human nature by use of sci-fi or fantasy (in this case the magic glasses).
@catchersmitt0 it is about how not to judge anyone by their actions, because we do not know what he or she is going through. to realize why we need to treat everyone kindly..
Nice message, therefore worth watching. What a shame the entire production from acting to art direction to film quality sucks though. I don't think we'll be seeing any of these people on Oscar's red carpet anytime soon.
At first this video is funny but then it starts getting sad and it's awful 4 what pain some people have 2 go through in life n' trying 2 live a normal life. life's not perfect but u have 2 make each day of it
This was very convicting. How often we walk through life consumed by our own agendas and feelings. But this is what God sees when He looks down on our days
" Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justifed by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love."
What does being humanitarian and aware of other people's feelings has to do with any religion? Treat everyone as you would want yourself to betreated, that's all the religion anyone needs.
@NFPadron I think the thing that this has to do with any "religion" is that no secular group/ company would ever make a video like this, now would they?
I don't get why the idea of helping people has to be a Christian thing, and why it can't just be a HUMAN thing.
I personally think we need more stuff like this without the Christian message. Most people see a video like this and think "Oh great another video shoving Christianity down my throat, no thanks" and the message is lost on them.
I think its a great message but maybe it isn't so much service as much as opening your eyes and looking around you- to NOT be so self involved and then serving.
Why didn't the glasses tag folks in the true Christian manner? With "Evolutionist", "Adulterer", "Fornicator", "Sodomite", "Selfishly Aborted A Child To Protect Her Own Life"", "Damned for all of Eternity" at the end the dude in the car looks in the mirror and sees "Self Righteous Prick". Now that would be an honest message.
@disrxt You make some good points. Sorry you have had such a bad experience with Christians. Some of these are biblical terms, others not. As my friend says, if you are judgemental, you are judge "mental" (not of sound mind). Grace to you
Really good video. I can't understand why people get mad about this video. It has a great message whether religous or not. I am like that guy sometimes. I can get impatient. Its a good wake up call. So many are in pain and are ignored. Just make one person smile a day and we can all make a difference.
We all have to be reminded from time to time. Treat others like we want to be treated and we all have something going on, some are worse then others!!! Love this video!!!
Yea. too busy on the cell phone texting and calling to hear the crys of those around us. We have all been there. we live in a do not have time for you. too busy. I thought all this technolgy was to help, it made thing worse. we do not say hi to people or even notice them. Great vid. Its not about religion, its about caring for someone besides yourself.
Grieving a friend yeah yeah, overcoming an addiction, good.... How's about one guy babbling senselessly with the subtitle: Was abducted by aliens, but no one believes him....
All too many people turn a blind eye to what is staring them in the face. The message is everybody feels pain. Love thy neighbour is to love everybody. So yes a message from Jesus here. Why are people bothered by that though, there is no religion here just the truth. Even John Lennon when he was in his atheist days still believed in Love.
This video is supposed to make you FEEL rather than think. Thank you for posting it, who created it is irrelevant, it's the message it brings that is important.
WHY did this turn into a dispute about religion?? That wasn't the point! It doesn't take religion to realize that you need to be considerate of others. If certain people have FOUND that through religion however, then GOOD! Everyone finds it a different way. We can be good people with or without it. I LOVED THIS VIDEO, it was well shot for the amount of limited materials you had, because it made a valid point about respecting others and our humanity in general.
@judahben05 SO WHAT if it was copyrighted by a church. There was a beautiful point made. And, sure, one's beliefs shape how one approaches the world, but what has that got to do with this video or religion? And I don't believe that people dispute religion for those two reasons you gave. Actually, your answer didn't make any sense to the issue that was questioned.
@chadwicks733 If it didn't make sense, I wouldn't have said it. If you didn't understand it, that's different. I merely attempted to provide an answer for why people tie religion to this video - I didn't say they were good reasons necessarily.
@judahben05 - So if the church copywrote a video it means people have to talk about religion? Does that mean Buddhists, Atheists, Jews, Pagans, and other religions aren't relevant because this video was copywritten by a church? Faulty logic if you ask me. The "church" isn't the only paradigm on the planet. In fact, most of their rituals were "copywritten" pagan and yet they took it for themselves. Lol I guess humanity will ALWAYS be diverse.. and I pity anyone who tries to change that. XD
@YourDarkAccomplice It doesn't mean they have to, but since it's youtube and people online have nothing better to do than dispute with strangers then it means they will. If the logic is faulty, remember it's not mine; it's my observance of others' logic. (Church rituals that copy pagan rituals only show that pagans recognized at least part of the truth to copy it. ie. Church copies pagans who copy truth. Feel free to disagree with that - won't bother me.)
@judahben05 - Actually, your disagreement with me doesn't bother me in the least. Many people are uneducated behind the fact that the Adam and Eve story was stolen from the Enki tale and completely shredded to accustom the new religion along with all the other tales. Villagers refused to sway away from their origins and tradition. So the church had no choice to strip incomplete stories to manipulate their ideals. So much for "truths," eh? But regardless, mythology is just that. Mythology*shrug*
@YourDarkAccomplice Myth: "a traditional story accepted as history; serves to explain the world view of a people." A myth can be either true or false; it's a belief. I believe the myth that Columbus sailed to America. According to your argument; Columbus therefore did not make the voyage. Also, to say that something is less true because more people believe it seems to defy reason. To me, if something were true, it would make sense that multiple groups in different areas would believe it.

There will always be a person in a worst situation than the one we are in. Thanks for reminding us that we should always be thankful for what we have, appreciate the moments life has brought to us, for these moments will make us grow stronger every day, hopefully our positive growth will enlighten others the same way you have with this video. God bless you.
I try and always remember what the glasses did for this guy in my own life. After losing my mom, i was not the same person for about 2 years...i'm sure some people thought some bad stuff about me...if only they had been wearing these glasses...

i love how people brought religion into this. Im not sure it this was done by a religious organization or not but the message I got from this is NOT a religious one, but rather a humanistic one. Everybody's life is different and we all go through rough times. if we spent a little bit of time trying to connect and care for each other and stop being so wrapped up in ourselves the world would be a much better place. very powerful video!
Who we are, our conscientiousness, is not a product of the physical brain or secreted by a gland. It is gifted upon us from a sort of lifeflow energy.
When we die that life force continues on returning to the river of if you will. That explains a lot of things for another discussion.
Death is not the opposite of Life , rather the opposite of Birth. You can't expect your body to last for ever LOL. I was thinking the only things that never change is time & space but umm
I didn't make the video; I don't get paid for it; I paid to download it. Out of fairness, I refer other people to the site since I cannot give rights to the video. The creator of the video told me it's alright that I have it on youtube though.
This video makes you think all people in every day of our lives, we all have problems, maybe a fight with the wrong person without realizing it, but if we really know how he feels that person at that moment, we forget our hatred for that person. Good life lesson
We are all carrying a heavy load, remembering to view others as humans with needs (just like we have needs) will make the world an easier place to live in.
That was real nice. Enjoyed it very much. Keep making stuff. You've got some serious potential. Was that original music at the end? It was nice. It really helped tap into the emotion of the film. Good job.
This was perfect for a Sunday morning reminder that we all have stuff going on that others can't and don't want to see. Be kind folks - it comes back one hundred fold. We all need these glasses.
It makes sence. I have always passed by homeless people and wondered what happen in their lives. They were one babies and someone lived them so much and now no one does. So now I take time to see people. This was very moving. The world does not revolve around just me or you, it revolves around us all.
I watched the movie "The Soloist" last month and enjoyed it a lot. On the DVD there is a prelude to the movie in which the point is made that the best gift you can give to a homeless person is to take a little time and listen to what they have to say. Just take the time to listen and connect, that's all! Gives me a new challenge and something to look forward to.
logic in the bible If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
in that time and in that culture, unmarried women who weren't virgins had no way of making a living and responsible men wouldn't want to marry them. it was different than now. that's the old testament law.
OFFERINGS OF AN ATHEIST 1.Logic and reason 2.What we know to be true. 3.Relief from all mysticisms and superstitions 4.Value of your only life not some posthumous life there is no proof of. 5.Time, you would have wasted on religion 6.Evolution, religion is holding us back as a species 7.Freedom from narcissism. 8.Freedom from delusion 9.Freedom from fear of going to hell 10.Freedom from being a part of the horrid history of religion
I challenge your presuppositions about my religion. I led a Bible study tonight on what the term "Christian" means. Long story short, a Christian is a follower of Christ. Those who do not follow Jesus and his teachings (or know them) I would not call a Christian (even if they think they are one.)
As for learning history, how about the American Revolution? The French and Indian war had just been won with the help of Britain, who had invested a great deal of money in the colonies. To recover their loss they raised taxes. The colonies used this as an excuse to revolt and dragged "God" into their cause. However, it was the Christians who opposed the war. The Bible says to submit to governing authorities.
Nowadays, we associate Christians with supporting the wars our country faces. I don't believe in this union.
These so-called "Christians" who support/endorse war are like the colonists. But there are those of us who aren't convinced that God promotes war. (There is a change from the Old Testament to the New Testament that I could explain but would take a while.)
The horrid history is by those who claim to be "Christians" but are not Christians.
I don't discount the Old Testament. I look at the context it was written in. Without the Old, the New makes no sense. But the New is new; something is different.
I don't believe we should force the Ten Commandments to be displayed, but I believe that if those who are in charge at those buildings want to then they should have the freedom to do so.
Yes, I believe the Bible is the Word of God. I prefer the original Greek.
AntEyeTheist, You reveal yourself as a Theist several times by asking "Why?" and so also reveal your true debate is with yourself. A true atheist has no "why", since "why" implies choice, will, and reason. With no deity, everything IS just because it is a result of a previous event, so there is no "why" only "how". I hope that helps clear up your thoughts and helps you accept your reality - one way or the other.
The stark difference in your two posts is further evidence of your duality. If you truly believe what you posted on my profile (re-posted below) then there would be no need for, or even thought of, your above comments. My words above invite exploration and openness, yet you obviously take them as an attack. No attack intended. Just the desire to communicate and share. If you see presumptions they are your own, and if you see twisted logic, I kindly invite you to try on my glasses.
"AntEyeTheist"I'm an Agnostic-Atheist and I live Knowing that- This is the life I can be sure of. Immortality is the memories and creations you leave behind. I can't wait to see what science discovers next. All problems can be dealt with. The meanings to life are countless. If nothing loves you, love something. Constantly change, for the better. I can create something beautiful. I am what I am and I'm OK with that. When I die, I wont know it."
In my own way I am an anti-theist; there are many things (in fact MOST things) I despise about religion and the "religious establishment", and "Christians". Frankly many historical events and current "religious" mentalities and practices stir my anger. However, I do believe in an intelligence beyond what we know, and I will be happy to share my thoughts if you would like to have a discussion rather than a contest of insults.
Hey, no hard feelings, but if you allow me to answer: 1) can Christians also have; 2) same 3) even as an atheist, there can still be room for mysticism 4) we also enjoy life 5) you can 'waste' your time on many things. Sometimes, religion is fun too. Then you miss that. 6) Christianity doenst have to be contrary to evolution theory 7) Christianity = be there for your neighbour 8) you call God a delusion, is no proof! 9) also HOPE for heaven 10 atheism has horror in it's history too ;)
ZMDELM... By the grace of God, through Jesus Christ, you have been delivered from ignorance & rebellion. (Blind) EyeTheist will one day confess that Jesus is Lord... hopefully when It's not too late.
Its too bad that they're referring to the Christian God as the answer to all these peoples problems instead of empowering people with the power of people.
Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.
The more you know and understand about you religion the sooner you will reject it.
Yep, true. The point is that when we think we have problems, everyone else has their own problems too. The answer to this is not in some god/goddess but in a new awareness like the man achieves in the video.
Unbelief is YOUR FAULT? And that is because? I dont believe people like you, or the people that wrote the bible, the same people who wrote that the Sun revolves around the Earth.
The Bible got creation wrong, what makes you think that it got our destruction right?
First, I would like to point out that saying the Bible teaches the sun revolves around the earth is the same as saying that meteorologists today hold the same belief when they talk about the "sunrise" or "sunset". The Bible uses descriptive language; its authors wrote what they observed (from their and our perspective, it's the sun that moves).
Second, "the Bible got creation wrong". And you were there? How do you know what happened at creation? Your THEORY of evolution? Theories aren't proven, the data is inconclusive.
Third, to say that God tortures those who do not believe is to misunderstand Biblical theology. If you are going to criticize a religion, could you please take the time to understand it first? God throws us a life preserver. If we do not grab it, then that does not mean that God drown us.
And lastly, as far as trusting the Bible for our future, there are more manuscripts for the Bible than any other history book (I think the number may even be more than the others combined) and archaeology continues to prove historical events recorded in the Bible that historians once discredited. The truth is that the Bible is the most reliable historical book we have. I believe that gives it credit when it claims knowledge of the future.
"hypothesis: a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena"
I wasn't the one to claim to know our origins, was I? ("The Bible got creation wrong" <-- That was you claiming the knowledge. As of yet, I have not made such a claim.)
How do you pick up the pieces? How do you begin again? Are we like shattered glass... so broken that we can no longer reflect an image? Can't be! I think our lives can be broken and often are broken so that our souls can gleam. Our lives must be broken to allow our souls which are unbreakable to reflect its true image. The image of God. Break me so that YOU can shine forth from me!

(Church rituals that copy pagan rituals only show that pagans recognized at least part of the truth to copy it. ie. Church copies pagans who copy truth. Feel free to disagree with that - won't bother me.)

@judahben05 - Actually, your disagreement with me doesn't bother me in the least. Many people are uneducated behind the fact that the Adam and Eve story was stolen from the Enki tale and completely shredded to accustom the new religion along with all the other tales. Villagers refused to sway away from their origins and tradition. So the church had no choice to strip incomplete stories to manipulate their ideals. So much for "truths," eh? But regardless, mythology is just that. Mythology*shrug*

@YourDarkAccomplice Myth: "a traditional story accepted as history; serves to explain the world view of a people." A myth can be either true or false; it's a belief. I believe the myth that Columbus sailed to America. According to your argument; Columbus therefore did not make the voyage. Also, to say that something is less true because more people believe it seems to defy reason. To me, if something were true, it would make sense that multiple groups in different areas would believe it.

Everybody's life is different and we all go through rough times. if we spent a little bit of time trying to connect and care for each other and stop being so wrapped up in ourselves the world would be a much better place. very powerful video!

Who we are, our conscientiousness, is not a product of the physical brain or secreted by a gland. It is gifted upon us from a sort of lifeflow energy.
When we die that life force continues on returning to the river of if you will. That explains a lot of things for another discussion.

I watched the movie "The Soloist" last month and enjoyed it a lot. On the DVD there is a prelude to the movie in which the point is made that the best gift you can give to a homeless person is to take a little time and listen to what they have to say. Just take the time to listen and connect, that's all! Gives me a new challenge and something to look forward to.

I challenge your presuppositions about my religion. I led a Bible study tonight on what the term "Christian" means. Long story short, a Christian is a follower of Christ. Those who do not follow Jesus and his teachings (or know them) I would not call a Christian (even if they think they are one.)
judahben05 2 years ago
As for learning history, how about the American Revolution? The French and Indian war had just been won with the help of Britain, who had invested a great deal of money in the colonies. To recover their loss they raised taxes. The colonies used this as an excuse to revolt and dragged "God" into their cause. However, it was the Christians who opposed the war. The Bible says to submit to governing authorities.
judahben05 2 years ago
Nowadays, we associate Christians with supporting the wars our country faces. I don't believe in this union.
These so-called "Christians" who support/endorse war are like the colonists. But there are those of us who aren't convinced that God promotes war. (There is a change from the Old Testament to the New Testament that I could explain but would take a while.)
The horrid history is by those who claim to be "Christians" but are not Christians.
judahben05 2 years ago
If all the Christians who have called other Christians not really a Christian were to vanish, thered be no Christians left.
The Bible A Fairytale book of rules brainwashing millions. Obliviously used to help create war, kill, hate, judge and discriminate.
Most religions prophecy the end of the world and then consistently work together to ensure that these prophecies come true.
AntEyeTheist 2 years ago
Isnt it the buffet plan of Christianity, when you discount most of the Old Testament and preach the new?
Do you believe that the Ten Commandments should be displayed in public buildings?
Do you believe that the Bible is the word of God? Which Bible?
Why isn't the Bible concise?
AntEyeTheist 2 years ago
I don't discount the Old Testament. I look at the context it was written in. Without the Old, the New makes no sense. But the New is new; something is different.
I don't believe we should force the Ten Commandments to be displayed, but I believe that if those who are in charge at those buildings want to then they should have the freedom to do so.
Yes, I believe the Bible is the Word of God. I prefer the original Greek.
judahben05 2 years ago
Conciseness ruins the story. It doesn't answer why. It provides no context for understanding (historical, cultural, grammatical).
judahben05 2 years ago
AntEyeTheist, You reveal yourself as a Theist several times by asking "Why?" and so also reveal your true debate is with yourself. A true atheist has no "why", since "why" implies choice, will, and reason. With no deity, everything IS just because it is a result of a previous event, so there is no "why" only "how". I hope that helps clear up your thoughts and helps you accept your reality - one way or the other.

The stark difference in your two posts is further evidence of your duality. If you truly believe what you posted on my profile (re-posted below) then there would be no need for, or even thought of, your above comments. My words above invite exploration and openness, yet you obviously take them as an attack. No attack intended. Just the desire to communicate and share. If you see presumptions they are your own, and if you see twisted logic, I kindly invite you to try on my glasses.

In my own way I am an anti-theist; there are many things (in fact MOST things) I despise about religion and the "religious establishment", and "Christians". Frankly many historical events and current "religious" mentalities and practices stir my anger. However, I do believe in an intelligence beyond what we know, and I will be happy to share my thoughts if you would like to have a discussion rather than a contest of insults.
JamieTroy7 1 year ago
No contest of insults here, just my assessment of your comment directed at me, of which I found presumptuous.
Duality is a primitive and innate belief I try to transcend.
Saying, "When I die, I wont know it.", puts the kibosh on duality.
Heaven is a childish belief and not very thoughtful.

AntEyeTheist 2 years ago
First, I would like to point out that saying the Bible teaches the sun revolves around the earth is the same as saying that meteorologists today hold the same belief when they talk about the "sunrise" or "sunset". The Bible uses descriptive language; its authors wrote what they observed (from their and our perspective, it's the sun that moves).
judahben05 2 years ago
Second, "the Bible got creation wrong". And you were there? How do you know what happened at creation? Your THEORY of evolution? Theories aren't proven, the data is inconclusive.
judahben05 2 years ago
Third, to say that God tortures those who do not believe is to misunderstand Biblical theology. If you are going to criticize a religion, could you please take the time to understand it first? God throws us a life preserver. If we do not grab it, then that does not mean that God drown us.
judahben05 2 years ago
And lastly, as far as trusting the Bible for our future, there are more manuscripts for the Bible than any other history book (I think the number may even be more than the others combined) and archaeology continues to prove historical events recorded in the Bible that historians once discredited. The truth is that the Bible is the most reliable historical book we have. I believe that gives it credit when it claims knowledge of the future.
judahben05 2 years ago
If atheists want to come and dispute God and the Bible, I'm game, but could you at least bring good arguments?
judahben05 2 years ago
You should look up the word THEORY.
If you knew the definition of THEORY you would hope that the word would be used in front of all your beliefs, but, it is not.
If it were said The THEORY of Creation the word THEORY would give it credibility.
AntEyeTheist 2 years ago
looked up theory:
"hypothesis: a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena"
I wasn't the one to claim to know our origins, was I? ("The Bible got creation wrong" <-- That was you claiming the knowledge. As of yet, I have not made such a claim.)
judahben05 2 years ago
I never claimed to know our origin, nor does science.
I do however claim that the Bible is wrong, when a far more plausible explanation is available.
Also, I like to consider the source of information and the source of the Bible is ancient men without any scientific knowledge.
Now, if you think God wrote the Bible and you think that that is a reasonable conclusion.
I will have to stop trying to reason with you, because, obviously you have abandoned it.
AntEyeTheist 2 years ago
Also, a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena.
Did you know that gravity is a theory?
A theory is something that can be tested and verified, that supporting and compelling evidence can be presented to prove a theory.
The theory of evolution is consistently being proven correct, far beyond Darwins imagination.
In science, little is certain, in religion, a lot is certain. Where there is certainty, you must have doubt.
AntEyeTheist 2 years ago
To claim the Bible is wrong requires you to know what is right. (How else do you know?)
How do we know ancient men had no scientific knowledge?
Yes, I know gravity is a theory, not a law, because it is not understood. (How does a bumble bee fly?)
In what ways is evolution being proven correct?
Why is the world obsessed with doubt and uncertainty? Postmodern shift?
