Want a free Grand Piano?

Tim Minchin. If you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.

I feel it's important for the younger generation to hear from their peers. Religion, faith in the supernatural and wasting your life waiting for something better in the afterlife are best left in the bronze age where they belong.

The reason I like this song is because it's funny. If you try to read to deeply into it then you're just taking it's comedic value away from it and turning yourself into a pedantic weird dude.

@SingingIrish, The whole point of the video is to make people think about their deeply held erroneous beliefs and Tim does this through humour. I posted it because of that very reason. I'm sorry you've missed the point.

@Stralya2000 i think with comedy there, it gives room to just have fun with it. these are tim's views and that's fine. some might agree, some might disagree. it doesn't really matter. it's funny. it seems a little patronizing to say that "i'm sorry you've missed the point" in regards to @singingirish's comment. why can't people simply enjoy it for the humor? i know you posted up this video for your own reasons, but can't people just enjoy a comedian rather than looking for a bigger meaning?

[Stralya2000]

@lephong I don't know how anyone can watch the clip and not get the point. Tim wrote this for those with deeply held religious beliefs. He's the one being the philosopher here, not me. It's not patronising to suggest I'm sorry if someone misses the point. Tim is a comedian first and a philosopher second, some might say it's the other way around but the comedy and the philosophy are inexorably linked and that should be obvious.

"if you open your mind too much, your brain will fall out"

a quote also made famous by other people like richard dawkins and carl sagan, one of whom probably wrote the book that tim admits he read it in.

@Stralya2000 the burden of proof lies on the science BEHIND the ones making the claim
