Leviticus 1:14-17 " He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the lord. " - Cooking with the bible.
I was getting into yet another abortion argument on facebook and had to come here to cool off...saying pro choice is pro abortion is like saying pro christian is pro-stoning-people-to-death....
I think Tim's use of 'Hence' in this context is correct, when he says hence, he means generations past - Hence defined is 'from this time or place' in which case, it works, it can also be used as a point to begin ... hence (therefore), we don't really need to rely on babble that was written generations hence (from this time). Also, it rhymes with contents, tents & gents ... artistic licence rules :D
@garethchelsea *cringe* Sorry about that. I think I was half-asleep when I copied and pasted them, then never got around to checking them over. It's fixed now though, thanks for pointing it out! :)
@butagirluk I always thought he used it right, being that it was written generations hence, as in many generations after the time in which the book takes place, i.e. Jesus' time.
I could be wrong, though. Just typing out the above sentence made me cringe thinking about the grammatical errors it is no doubt riddled with.
@badpenguin455 Yeah so I'm gonna make that loving sacrifice mean something by giving him something to die for, in other words sin. If I didn't sin his dying for me would be meaningless since he died to absolve my sin
Can't we just all agree that people have different opinions, and stop jumping down peoples throats when they say they're Christian or atheist, and enjoy the song?
@TooFarGabe Nice to see you're following the holy path of forgiveness and reconcilliation there. "God" would be proud, were he not just a Human Concept dreamt up by a load of hairy desert-dwelling gents.
P.S. I have read the bible. It was boring, and I'm shocked anyone would want to follow Christianity based on it's contents to be honest.

@TooFarGabe I wouldn't mind going to hell, y'know. Lots of interesting and wonderful people your church simply dismisses as "evil" because of a little thing like preferring their own gender to love. To me, the real evil are the ones trying to control the masses with a "holy book".
@EragonFiresword yeah man, the Bible was written 5000 years ago. The teachings like don't kill each other and play nice and love everyone are good teachings but for the most part the Bible is like an algebra textbook to me- it's all mumbo jumbo with a few easy questions
@TooFarGabe God says: "I MUST THE UNIVERSE! YOU! HUMANS! BUTCHER OTHERS FOR ME! I NEED ENTERTAINMENT! YES! PLAY (Guess what I put there) WITH THE KIDS AND SACRIFICE YOUR CHILDREN WHILST I ^^^^ WITH YOUR ENTIRE WORLD! AHAHAHAHAHAHHA." now ^^^^ off. (It won't lemme put in swear words I don't think ^^)
OK, I admit to being old & out of the modern music loop, and have never heard of this guy. He's a panic. He seems like a combination of Eric Idle mixed with Elton, Groucho and Arlo on speed - alll stuffed into that creepy blind girl at the group home that does up her own make-up.
@Zeengai He uses the boot to tap for a beat. He has a version with more instruments and he means the song to sound like a sort of swinging square dance. I guess because in America people from the south can be pretty religious and that is the same music associated with them. As stereotypes of course :)
@snappyguy928 Yep, you got it! I'm an atheist and a big Tim Minchin fan, but I am from the American South. Texas to be more specific, and this song is making fun of religious rednecks from the South. I'm glad SOMEONE is making fun of them, because these people are fucking retarded.
@Ryan9145X Yep, the American Bible belt gives the whole of America a bad rap. All of your allies think you guys are a bunch of gun carrying religious nutters.
"If you just close your ears, To the accumulated knowledge of the last two thousand years..."
One of Tim's best lines, brilliantly sums up possibly the biggest problem with religion. It's been a pretty good two millenia. Hell, just ignoring the last one or two hundred years would screw you up pretty badly.
@mankytoes I think "...you better take a good look at the Good Book!" is a far superior line. Some of the shit in there is fucked up, and if you have a King James Bible, there are seven mentions of the word 'unicorn' in it. But that's not to say that it's a totally bad thing. The Bible itself has some beautiful phrases in it, such as big J's phrase John 8:7 is just fucking great, but shit like Timothy 2:12 is why we shouldn't take it literally. But your line is good too.
@SgtAnon I agree with you. This song rallies people who already share this viewpoint. What we probably need is people who are more persuasive and less confrontational. Carl Sagan was the best at that. Tim is a little more like Dawkins or Twain, bitter but funny.
@hospitaler808 "fuck atheists" who else is gonna win all those Nobel prizes and teach the fuckwits not shit in the food store? I mean if you have cholera you could always pray for it to go away, or you ask someone with a fully functioning brain for advice and they might give you some triptosine
i am christian but i loveTim Minchin because he shows the hypocrisy of of those people who believe their faith is the only way and there is no room for science.
Very clever satire aside, the music in this is incredible. Just try to classify it in one genre, he moves so seamlessly between styles while singing. Fuckin impressive.
Just going to throw my 2 cents out there. I think we all have the right yo believe what we will. And as one who believes in god id like to point out that people shouldn't push there believes on others cause you wouldn't want someone to push there's on you. Me myself I find Tim minchin funny as hell. I done hate on him for his believes nor should anyone hate one for there's. Than again this is the internet and haters gonna hate lol. Btw english/grammar was my worse subject in school lol
@Kogey64 You haven't been paying attention then. Or --
Maybe you've been talking to Christians who actually bothered to read the books. It's the ones who wouldn't touch them with fireplace tongs that badmouth them the most.
the problem with the common perception of religion is that it's out of date which is true. religions problem is it refuses to acknowledge context, which to Tim Minchin's credit he acknowledges! faith and believe in it's pure form is a good thing.
@Paulie92able exactly, I do agree mostly but there are some parts that are plausable, like i've been telling geistero over the past few comments, life is to complex to end in such simplicity. It's unfathomably beautiful yet people try and argue there case, which I respect, but sometimes it's a losing battle, which is why I believe what I believe, sure tell me religion I still won't be that religion, I have my own. Parts of each religion that all I believe are plausable.
@BluRViSionHDD I believe it is rather short sighted to say there isn't a God at all. I believe in one, his name's Tim Minchin. Now you can like it again =D
" the overwhelming evidence of his existence and presence"
There is no evidence, if there were 'he' would actually exist. I'd like to see this proof of 'his existence' that you speak of, or perhaps you'r just spouting the first bit of BS that pops in to your head? There is no proof of anything revolving around this so called 'god' so you can't say anything positively. I suggest you find something else to waste your time with.
Not everyone follows your Religion, remember that.
@jordan7787 "Since they cannot see a person called God despite the overwhelming
evidence of His existence and presence, they have gone through the tortured
mental exercise of simply denying there even is a God." I'm curious what you believe this "evidence" to be because I guarantee that if i was doing a lab report that included ur evidence my teacher would question the ethos of my citations.
@jordan7787 How ignorant do you need to be to think that people are atheist because they dont want to be held accountable for actions. then all atheists wouldnt believe in the legal system ... if we dont believe in an afterlife then this life is ALL we have so what we do here becomes even more important as compared to if there is an afterlife which makes our actions on earth comparably negligible to whatever the afterlife is and you cant possibly claim to know what that is so dont speculate.
if i hear that he's mocking god one more time, i swear i'll break som bones :D
he's mocking people blindly following churches, not realizing what religion were originally about and what they should be about - the bible is for moral guidance of those who cant' guide themselves, it says you should care about people, be a good person... a there's nothing about bashnig other religions, about killing the infidels or whatever you were said it's there...
@jordan7787 "This is how you end up with a society legitimizing and accepting the unnatural and unhealthy sexual perversion of homosexuality."
You're stupid firstly you say Homosexuality is bad, Leviticus also condemns going to the bathroom and eating shellfish. Those were laws created by people, not God, God only gave you 10.
Your point on the slaughtering of babies? Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac. Same thing, but in the name of God it's must be OK.
I've just realised that he doesn't actually say anything against the bible here. He's just stating the views of people who follow the bible (that is, views that bible is correct and a good set of rules to follow) and then quoting the some of the bibles rules. Because of this, this piece of music is actually a really good critical analysis of the bible, and it makes a person realise how daft it really all is! :P
For the record it was the male that was supposed to accept to marry the woman after rape. If the male refused then the sin was his to carry. If the woman refused she was kicked out of the city for in "The Good Book" sex was equal to marriage. Where today sex is sex and marriage is marriage. Back in the time of "The Good Book" both were one in the same.
@TimOmachi First, The marriages of the Torah Took place with the two knowing each other. This as we all know means they had sex. No big ceremony was performed, that came at a much later date. Thus it is implied that sex equates to marriage in the Torah. As far as the Rape there are so many versions of the Bible now to fit what people want to hear it will be difficult to find the premise of what was written is correct. The Bible I studied from is not longer in print.
Leviticus 1:14-17 " He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the lord. " - Cooking with the bible.

@BluRViSionHDD I believe it is rather short sighted to say there isn't a God at all. I believe in one, his name's Tim Minchin. Now you can like it again =D

" the overwhelming evidence of his existence and presence"
There is no evidence, if there were 'he' would actually exist. I'd like to see this proof of 'his existence' that you speak of, or perhaps you'r just spouting the first bit of BS that pops in to your head? There is no proof of anything revolving around this so called 'god' so you can't say anything positively. I suggest you find something else to waste your time with.
Not everyone follows your Religion, remember that.

@jordan7787 "Since they cannot see a person called God despite the overwhelming
evidence of His existence and presence, they have gone through the tortured
mental exercise of simply denying there even is a God." I'm curious what you believe this "evidence" to be because I guarantee that if i was doing a lab report that included ur evidence my teacher would question the ethos of my citations.

@jordan7787 How ignorant do you need to be to think that people are atheist because they dont want to be held accountable for actions. then all atheists wouldnt believe in the legal system ... if we dont believe in an afterlife then this life is ALL we have so what we do here becomes even more important as compared to if there is an afterlife which makes our actions on earth comparably negligible to whatever the afterlife is and you cant possibly claim to know what that is so dont speculate.

Love this song- but it doesn't need the ending. It's funnier without it and the message is already perfectly clear I think.

if i hear that he's mocking god one more time, i swear i'll break som bones :D
he's mocking people blindly following churches, not realizing what religion were originally about and what they should be about - the bible is for moral guidance of those who cant' guide themselves, it says you should care about people, be a good person... a there's nothing about bashnig other religions, about killing the infidels or whatever you were said it's there...

In their drive to
live without being held accountable for their actions and choices, they have
taken the position that there simply is no God.
jordan7787 5 months ago
This has been flagged as spam show
Of course the first logical question is why? The answer is no more
complicated than the fact that the masses who have made the choice to live
in open rebellion to God do not want to be held accountable for their
choices. Since they cannot see a person called God despite the overwhelming
evidence of His existence and presence, they have gone through the tortured
mental exercise of simply denying there even is a God.

Sadly, when people choose to reject God they end up aligning themselves with
others who have also rejected God. Again, this is how you end up with a
society that supports the slaughtering of innocent babies. This is how you
end up with a society legitimizing and accepting the unnatural and unhealthy
sexual perversion of homosexuality. Jesus said you can’t serve two masters.
Those who reject God and His Truth, have chosen to serve sin and follow
satan.

@jordan7787 "This is how you end up with a society legitimizing and accepting the unnatural and unhealthy sexual perversion of homosexuality."
You're stupid firstly you say Homosexuality is bad, Leviticus also condemns going to the bathroom and eating shellfish. Those were laws created by people, not God, God only gave you 10.
Your point on the slaughtering of babies? Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac. Same thing, but in the name of God it's must be OK.

I've just realised that he doesn't actually say anything against the bible here. He's just stating the views of people who follow the bible (that is, views that bible is correct and a good set of rules to follow) and then quoting the some of the bibles rules. Because of this, this piece of music is actually a really good critical analysis of the bible, and it makes a person realise how daft it really all is! :P
I do love Tim very much so! <3

For the record it was the male that was supposed to accept to marry the woman after rape. If the male refused then the sin was his to carry. If the woman refused she was kicked out of the city for in "The Good Book" sex was equal to marriage. Where today sex is sex and marriage is marriage. Back in the time of "The Good Book" both were one in the same.

@TimOmachi First, The marriages of the Torah Took place with the two knowing each other. This as we all know means they had sex. No big ceremony was performed, that came at a much later date. Thus it is implied that sex equates to marriage in the Torah. As far as the Rape there are so many versions of the Bible now to fit what people want to hear it will be difficult to find the premise of what was written is correct. The Bible I studied from is not longer in print.
