10 More VYou Shorts on Matters in Religion
26This is the eight video composed of 10 short (2 minute or under) clips which I recorded as a user of the now defunct VYou -- an innovative social network which allowed users to record short video responses to questions and comments. This video addresses more questions put to me about matters of religion -- these more specific than those in the previous video, ranging from issues about Biblical interpretation to Francis of Assisi. All of the clips are responses recorded in various places and at different times, where I address another VYouser's questions or comments.
The video quality is not particularly good on some of these clips -- they were recorded using older webcam technology.
1:17 Question 1: Do you really believe the Bible is the word of God
3:25 Question 2: How do you feel about all the rape, sacrifice, murder, sexism, and homophobia God condemned in the Old Testament?
5:41 Question 3: Do you believe in Evolution? If so, how can you be Catholic? How can you favor an irrational ideology over what we know to be true?
7:53 Question 4: So Adam and Eve is a wonderful story to illustrate God's relationship with human beings, but is not factual according to the Catholic Church, right?
10:05 Question 5: So if Catholics do believe the Adam and Eve story, how can you believe in evolution? Do you think we came from Adam or Apes?
12:13 Question 6: Where does Christ's "plank in your eye" quote come into play when you are telling someone they are doing wrong?
14:24 Question 7: Does St. Francis of Assisi's "Preach the Gospel at all times..." quote reflect Christ's "plank in the eye"?
16:36 Question 8: Used to be an angry young man bitter, cynical, masking fear. "Longing for the pods the pigs were eating" woke me up.
18:49 Question 9: So it's Sunday and all the Christians are at church, even though the Sabbath is supposed to be Saturday. Breaking your own God's rules?
20:59 Question 10: In your opinion, why did Judas Iscariot do what he did? What was he trying to accomplish? Was he evil?
