What was the impetus for this video?

@alliaskis I have been studying near east and western civilizations lately. I was thinking about what all of this history has done to create me and the civilization that I live in. I wanted people to see the beauty of what the U.S. fathers saw. And I hoped some of my U.S. brothers would appreciate the world our fathers tried to create. And to those that are outside of the U.S. I hoped to just touch on what I call the brotherhood of man. Speak of our flesh and blood. Thanks

I was blocked by theist77 for merely asking questions. I now see the differences between theists like you and him. You are not afraid to discuss your beliefs, it seems that he is. I tried replying to you again on his video but it says I was blocked, and all of my comments were removed. But in case my previous post didn't get through -- be sure to message me tonight MCL

@MereChristianLogic The US doesn't seem to be an exemplar of democracy, freedom or capitalism to many of us from the outside. I think that one needs to see other cultures first hand to make fair comparisons. Many US citizens seems to be rather insular.

A poignant, poetic declaration.

@acyberguy Take your time with it, that's all. It brings up a lot of questions which for me are moot because like I told you before, I think the teachings attributed to Jesus (The writings and teachings of Jesus) are very wise, for the most part.

There's so much goodness and wisdom in the writings, that (to me) it doesn't matter if Jesus ever lived, let alone was resurrected. The words that people claim he spoke are wise, therefore I don't care if they were uttered by a madman.

@acyberguy What you will have when you finish is Truthsurge's interpretation of the documentation and scholarly opinion. If you listen to someone like Lee Strobel you will be given an opposing opinion. This demonstrates exactly what I was saying. Both are informed opinions supported by historical evidence and they reach opposite conclusions. History is this sort of debate, it is not establishing 'a truth'.
