...It's gonna be meh *nsync start playing*

I don't.. 😶

PH_Brony130 It's 'Submit' but it still makes sense.

Exactly.

Notice how the singer makes biblical references? He certainly knew his scriptures...

what a fucking legend

PH_Brony130, the Preacher was committed to a god alright, not the God he thought he was committed to. Fear the Lord? I'd say to that hateful preacher, 'What Lord is that? The Good Lord who loves without condition or the Lord of Lies who has ownership of YOUR FILTHY MIND, HEART & SOUL?'

Edmund The Rock pikmin, you're quite right there. You should know this, a man like the Preacher REALLY DID EXIST! He was the Salem Preacher from the Witch Trial Period. He murdered countless women aided by his young daughter & niece (they were just kids at the time) because the Town Councillors were going to throw him out for bad conduct. A Councilman's Elderly Wife was among the murdered women.

Exactly! The town was afraid of death, but if they all stood United and tried to protect each other, there would have been less death, or he might not have even shown up at all. But the Father weaponized their fear likely in a gambit to protect himself by targeting someone vulnerable as a sacrifice. By turning on each other out of fear, they doomed themselves. The Undertaker didn’t even have to do anything to them; their own fear killed them.

I like the way you think, and I would love to see something like you described! :3

Same here.

The undertaker is the grim reaper of souls.

woah its ally gator from the game grumps comment section. idk why im surprised to see you commenting here...uh six months ago.

Ashy Cat I love how that's now what I'm known for, like that's what's going to be on my grave :P

Some people weren't meant to be priests XD

CeeHoff There are no such thing as "Weren't MEANT to be". You write your own story. Not some fat guy in white robes. If there were such thing as FATE, then our life is not worth living if it is already directed.

OH YES..!!

Now that is some clever use of symbolism.

Well...that preacher did say "with his sword in my hand".

"Beliefs... they're the bullets of the wicked"

Are you guys for real? Your bashing the Bible when you have no idea what he means? In the The sword of the Spirit is scripture and the word of God. Explains it in the Bible.

They were fearful of dying, so they did anything they could to not die, which in the end only killed them faster.

...so, do we ride out and meet him? For death and glory perhaps?

that was a well thought out comment, thank you for the reply. although i must have made a mistake in the response since i think this was directed for Zanrich Dryadson who made a comment that sounded like it was from lord of the rings "And does not arrive too late or too early... But precisely when it means to" So i tried to respond in a joking manner by also quoting from the movie that sounded relate-able .None the less great description! 10/10! would buy.

I was quoting Lord of the Rings because I found it to be the best way to describe how death seem to happen. LankyB

Beautifully said vidyaWolf

Death involves a change. The ultimate change for any creature on the planet. Unfortunately, humans don't like change. They want consistent and predictable. A stroll through the gateway of death is a path into the unknown that many just can't handle. Religion seems to be a balm of sorts, promising a reward beyond that gate for those who behave in a certain way. It is genuinely depressing when extreme religion clouds rational thinking, reason and logic. Had it not been for the latter three concepts and our ability to utilize them, we'd never have come out of the caves to build cities and civilizations.

Why not both?

You can't deny that the authors wanted to say something about religion with this short.

aprimeau104 I appreciate your opinion being shared in an assertive tone. Not such that it would be overshadowed nor provocative enough to attract aggressive attention. Thank you.

"Religion is stupid". It doesn't matter if you're the only one who address their talent. Most people are going to comment on the stupidity of Religion, because that is the obvious message being conveyed in this video; made by people "people with talent."

benny honna I'd say the message is more about how religion can be abused. I never thought "oh religion is stupid" when I saw this, I thought, "look at that preacher abusing his power over the townsfolk"

No, all of them were bad apples, which becomes obvious by the murderous rage they have to save themselves when they think they might die. But, nobody wanted to admit it(confirmed by the "he without sin... blah blah)", so they hid behind god and chose to believe the priest. The guitarist was the only legit guy there, seeing things for what they where.

+Tasos Kozi The bad priest poisoned (programmed) their minds with fear. Without self questioning they were just like robots waiting orders, because thru irresponsibility they gave psychological authority to the bad priest... Humans become robots the moment we stop questioning.

Yes I understand and I agree. Humans are sheep

***** Hello fellow sheep :)

Aimériel Bé, A man like the Preacher REALLY DID EXIST! He was the Salem Preacher from the Witch Trial Period. He murdered countless women aided by his young daughter & niece (they were just kids at the time) because the Town Councillors were going to throw him out for bad conduct. A Councilman's Elderly Wife was among the murdered women.

The Tramp could very well represent rebellion. Something happened in his life that made him go against a belief. Now I'm not going for or against any faith, but in a small town in the middle of nowhere, most everyone is generally on the same page when it comes to that, and being the outsider in something so sensitive a topic as religion, tends to get ugly. Note the West Memphis Three. I think the townsfolk represented a form of greed when it comes to religion. Too many people practice a faith for their own gain, and pray for nothing but material wealth and to save their own hides. No one there actually followed the teachings, and only cried out for salvation and guidance because they were scared. As for the Undertaker, I don't think he represented any kind of justice or felt anything toward the situation. Someone was going to die soon, and he was there to do a job. I don't think he felt any more or less toward the situation that an undertaker digging a grave which is soon to be occupied. "The situation will resolve itself. I have no need to interfere." This is the beauty of Death, for Death smiles at beggars as it does kings, as it does to preachers, as it does to politicians... The only thing you can do is smile back.

Make a good movie. Hell better than most horror movies if done right....hmmm should rephrase that shouldn't I. This movie/whatever it will be if it happens, would be better than 90% of the currently made horror movies. No? Wrong wording again?

What if, when asked, "why do you do this?" He simply turned around and said, "I don't... They do. You do." turned back, and slowly walked away.

wooooo thats a good one

So you are saying that the only thing that is capable of destroying the human being is himself. But when the human being loses the fear, which is one of his features, it will stop of dying because of himself. But, to be human, we need to have the fear feature, so you are saying that only when the human evolves we stop killing ourselves. :D Philosophy really works!

Yes but think about this. With how humans are with war in our blood do you think that would happen? I wish to see the day thou When we can evolve from this form into another.

Como lo supiste?

Como sabes?

como sabes xdd

Si, vengo de la A verde

La a verde

its too bad many dont have the common sense to realize that. i think the biggest mistake was viewing God as someone who would punish those that do wrong. since that is obviously not true alot of people choose not to believe. however the proof is there, we were given free will for a reason. like jacob from lost haha

Agreed! But God over and over says that he will punish/destroy those who won't change their ways. As a Christian/Jew that isn't our duty. We are SUPPOSED to love and God also loves as well, but he also executes (for good reasons).

FINALLY SOMEBODY WHO GETS IT!! I was almost fired at work because I told my boss that I won't work on saturday. "Are you Jewish?" "No, I'm a follower of Christ." "Well then what Christian denomination goes to church on saturday?" "None. I don't go to church, because God hates religion. I practice what the Bible tells me to, and it says 'don't work from sunset friday until sunset saturday." "Sounds to me like you're just lazy. It's going to count against you if you don't show up." "Better men have suffered worse for more righteous causes. Consider this my call-off for Saturday, sir. " "You'll be written up on Monday." "Alright. Have a good one, sir." I hope they /will/ fire me for not working today. I will own that freaking company by the time the lawsuit settles.

Section8ification awesome for standing up for your faith!!! I wouldn't lawsuit them as in revenge though, lol.

Section8ification That's stupid. If your boss tells you to work on Saturday, then work on Saturday. It doesn't matter what's written in some book, you need to work when your boss tells you to work. It's different if some one tells you not to celebrate a holiday, or some thing in your home that doesn't effect others. But when your boss tells you to do something, do it.

way to go, Men in Black.

So is the singer singing about the undertaker i liked it.

You, you are completely and utterly .... Right, YO TELLTALE start yo story telling magic

Please no. NO MORE FAKE DECISION "GAMES".

CunningCondor this is such a tragic comment now

This aged like milk

The undertaker came for them alright

What a bullshit comment! I feel sorry for you that your parents diddnt raise you as a christian..

I find it more about the harm that one man misconstruing religion can bring. But everyone has their own opinions. (P.S. the guy above me needs to calm down and realize not everyone has the same opinion. Also I'm an Omnist for the record.)

rob2049 I feel sorry that your parents didn't help you get a proper education and learn how to spell check.

Milruka Lol.

Milruka I didn't mean "L.O.L." I meant "lol".

Thank you, I'm glad that at least someone has the common descency to treat others with respect and dignity, no matter how crazy or stupid their beliefs are, because were all still people.

we never insult believers , they insult they're selves with the stupidity they say when they try to prove us wrong.

***** you've just called all religious people stupid, regardless of their particular point of view. How is that not insulting? Not all religious people are dogmatic, many will have rational views of reality, so maybe it's just that you have met the most fanatical ones. Take a look at Newton's biography, for example. He discovered gravity and he was an amazing mathematician, and yet, he believed in God. And yet, he despised the Inquisition. Does that make him stupid under your definition?

Nephania Black there all insane

Nephania Black What you have to understand is most of the people commenting have had terrible experiences with religious people, I myself have had pretty bad experiences with them I've told many people that I don't believe in god and more than half of them have told me things in the vein of "you're going to hell" and some of these were by people I considered friends. so while I agree that both sides can be bad I believe religion as a whole can be extremely unhealthy. I personally have nothing against the people who believe it I just believe religion itself is bad as well as the people who profit off it.

Word

Which is what the the majority of Religious leaders do. He was only following what the Bible tells it's followers to do very clearly. Guide the people like sheep and repress or kill anyone that does not conform. Looks to me like he is representing the two most popular Religions perfectly by inciting a mob against the nonbeliever with the fear of death and eternal damnation. Of course that is only based of the entire history of the Christian and Muslim faiths and the fact that they have been the direct cause of more death, misery and destruction than anything else in the history of mankind. So yeah..... other than those "small things" he in no way represent religion.

'Religious leaders/clergymen' have been twisting and turning information in books like bible for centuries according to their needs, aka misuse of power, violence etc. Quran in the muslims' case couldnt be changed but secondary sources such Hadith literature are full of contradictions and violence-mongering 'teachings' which are used and believed widely among muslims, 'traditions' have been passed down via ancestors and have been challenged by very few. Quran does not encourage violence, people just love to take the description out from the context and misinform everyone including themselves (interestingly, people who challenge the Quran do this very same thing as the blind fanatics who commit terrorism in Islam's name). Furthermore, Quran's linguistic aspect is hardly analyzed and when it is, its done in the wrong way...I could go on but Im not actually here to debate or persuade anyone, there are in fact so many things wrong with our research in religion as a whole for ages..

I am sorry but you are wrong. Both books very clearly support and encourage acts of violence, murder, rape and mutilation against non conformers and severe punishment for anything but strict adherence to doctrine. You can not just blame it on the people who devote themselves to following it's teachings when the teaching themselves are horrible by any standards. They are a product and result of the religion itself and casting blame on them but not the faith that tells them how to follow is just childish. When a person is raised his entire life thinking it is ok to treat people like they are less than him or somehow worthy of discrimination just because they are different it is not just the person that is the problem but also their way of life. I am not in any way taking these things out of context. I have studied Theology for most of my adult life and I understand the Bible and the Qur'an very well. They are both books of hate and control that teach followers to mask themselves in righteousness while committing horrible atrocity against their fellow man and still thinking what they are doing is holy, just and in no way evil. The preacher follows his book to the letter and the result is very much in line with history.

This is deep

No, no. I get what it's trying to say.

Don't think you understood her vocabulary Dude. She was commenting on how she's not a fan of horror, and wasn't expecting the very dark and high tension/high graphic video.

***** Yeah, that's it...

I like this idea. It would be a good way to justify the Tramp being labeled as a "blasphemer" or a "bad apple" because he's perceived to be in league with the Undertaker, and the Undertaker is presumed by the townsfolk to be an agent of Death or even the Devil.

+Jen Kota

***** Yeah, also one of the most impacting moments for me was when the father revealed to have had a gun concealed in his bible all along, showing that he was just as fearfull and paranoic as everyone else. Maybe he went ahead and invited the undertaker to mass one day, only to be creeped out by something he said/did like saying "This town has so little time" knowing that something bad would happen soonish but not what or when made him go bananas awaiting for the worse, while trying to convince himself that it was a lie, that if he could get everyone on the right path nothing would happen, but maybe should be prepared, just in case and started to wonder if he could get rid of the undertaker altogether...

TheSilkyConch still?

@@Z3MBlE still

The fear of death The fear of god The fear of the grim reaper The fear of the different The fear of being "The One" All of this put together makes up for one hell of a bloodbath

Collin Meeks. Cowardice is portrayed heavily in this cartoon by the wicked priest. But ask yourselves this question, 'Who is the biggest of 2 cowards?' The coward or he/she who refuses to admit he/she is one?

No, that they killed an inocent and then it started to rain blood was it after all. ^^

Actually, no one was supposed to die. In the "making of" video, one of the notes stated that the undertaker was sent to the town as a test of their faith. Had they waited one more day, he would have left.

Bianca Guerra Oh crap, I must've missed that, because I did watch the "making of" video. Well, the priest was partially right, then... besides the fact that he made them kill the hobo. This animation sure does have a lot of meaning to it though, which is why I love it.

Aleksander Werweinov if it rained blood then how come only the areas of the battle were covered in blood?

Awakened Zero I think it's because the tramp was completely innocent in all of this. Even his corpse is laid out in the shape of the cross, possibly to emphasize this.

Si

I thinks it's better left untold. We can get most of from the plot and soundtrack itself and that's what makes it great.

maybe, maybe. :)

I agree but it has also made people do some of the most beautiful things. It truly is a double edged sword

Javonne, It's easy to prove your point wrong. If believing in God made people do things like they do in this short film, why don't we see Christians doing this all the time? The Bible says to love your enemy so anyone who murders etc is not acting like a Christian- they're acting like an animal (Which some believe they are).

sinexposed I am a Christian Orthodox. He said "religion" not believing in god. Christians used to do things like that. They burned people just because they though they were witches for example. They act racist against homosexual people (not all of them). And bible also is full of violence and shit. The religion can make you to believe and do bad things. We have stop being such violent as a society not because Bible said love your enemy but because we have science, we live in 2014. And as javone said, Church try to keep Christians by fear and lies.

Padpaw22 No, Jesus said "love your enemy" so anyone who does that is not a Christian even if they claim it. They are doing the exact opposite of folling Jesus.

It doesn't matter how "benign" your religion supposedly is, your willingness to follow it without questioning it is dangerous, regardless of what it is. If you just followed the good teachings, you wouldn't be religious, you'd just be a decent person.

Nobody, because the Undertaker isn't an enemy. He's merely a personification of death, and death is natural.

Burntshmallow You don't get the joke do you?

Omar Moodie Not at first, but I do now.

LOL

Omar Moodie, he is on nobody's side & makes no bargains with anyone. He exists only to do his appointed task (a quote from Watership Down).

I don't think it's just religion. The Preacher scared them into stoning the man, but the people themselves had been saying "Well, it ain't gonna be me" long before they had been scared enough to stone that one man. The bloodshed was brought on by their own fear to die. If anything this video also tells how sometimes our greatest fears of something, and our attempts to evade fate can be the very thing that causes our demise. Its not unlike a movie about a tyrant and a baby child prophesied to kill that tyrant. The tyrant sees that that baby has been born adn tries to kill it. The Baby survives and goes on to kill the Tyrant because the Tyrant continually tries to kill him, and becomes a worse fearful and hated Tyrant as time goes on, and he hurts the one that once-a-baby hero loves. If the tyrant took the baby in and raised him, he could make him the next ruler, and maybe the love he might foster for that child would not only save his life, but change him. This story has been done many times, but never with that alternative. This is the aspect being portrayed in this clip however, that if you fight against your fate or Destiny, you will be the reason that that fate or Destiny becomes inevitable. If we embrace whatever is meant to happen and not run away or work our way out of it, maybe our fate or Destiny can change.

Steven Dorsey ah, but it was the preacher who scared them into the undertaker. to me, the undertaker was really a good person until the town killed the singer. after that the undertaker made them insane and it was all the preachers fault.

***** well you should also pay attention to the church members themselves. look at the way they first walk into the church, almost like mindless zombies. they get scared of everything that is unknown to them and even follow the preacher when he demands to stone someone to death. i think the preacher represented religion, as you may be surprised at how many christian religous forms were made for control people (roman catholic especially).

***** religion made the priest corrupt, so religion is corrupt. the bible is a piece of shit.

Rodrigo Arze The problem is that you among so many others like to make yourselves feel better by pretending that Religion makes people corrupt. Wrong. People ARE corrupt. Barbara Tuchman once said, "The amazing thing about human history is how little human nature changes." Human nature, not religion. There was another book written by a man who immigrated into America around the 17th or 18th Century that I can't really quote or whatever because I honestly cannot remember a good enough amount of information to truly do his work justice. However, he came into America a while after the periods of the Old Lights and the New Lights when Americans, during both periods, had become barbaric. I mean, everyone in the Country were people you did not want to meet in a dark alley during the times known collectively as The Great Awakening. Each time, though different because one was a solemn kind of Christianity that was quie that set in, and the next awakening was the fierce fire and brimstone kind that shook America to the core, Revivals were insanely widespread. Overnight each time the entire Nation turned from thieves, vagabonds, rapists, and murderers into good country, church-going people who would gladly help you in a pickle. Between those two periods people had descended back into their old ways and gone back to being some pretty brutal types, both the murderers and criminals, as well as the men who would catch/kill/exact revenge on them. After the period known as The Great Awakening, in or around the 1800s, many immigrants from Ireland, Germany, Russia, and various other countries started immigrating to America because of the freedoms that were promised. Freedoms of Speech, property, religion, political beliefs, and all manner of other things. A man whose name I cannot recall wrote a book because he was astounded by the fact that Religion in America at that time was not what Religion was everywhere else. In all other countries religious people would take over, force all people to convert to that religion or die or face extreme consequences, prevent people from having educations or they would assert total dominance or what-have-you. They might as well have been considered communist regimes adn had a draconian control on all things in that country. That is not what this immigrant found here, and he wrote a book saying what I am now paraphrasing. "[In America]....Religion without Moralitydescends into tyranny, but that is not what I have found here in America...Religion is good because the people are good...." and that is the gist of what he said in his Conclusions. From what I remember about it, it was a fair-sized amout of text on the matter during the 17th or 18th Century. He was astounded by how so many people of different faiths had their own congregations and such, and all the people were good caring people, and how they all coexisted together. They might not associate with one another beyond what was necessary, but they worked and lived in tranquility with one another as Patriotism for the Nation was great amongst the people.

Erin Whittle But I can enjoy this film and its art while being openminded and negative about other people's beliefs and deepest feelings whithout being disrespectful, just by describing their fallacies and the many flaws of their core values. Why do I have to choose?

Ophaganestopolis There's no point in arguing of What to believe in.

I remember seeing a video of Wario farting and there was a huge religious debate going on in the comments. It's everywhere.

Lmao yes, and whistling to the itsy bitsy spider, don't forget that

I am saying that religion is doing nothing. Some people who affiliate themselves with religion take it too far. Is that a more accurate statement?

Why, yes, religions do indeed tend to have a extremely, extremely small number of extremists who do horrible things which completely go against the entire point of the religion they follow. Although, since the same can be said for pretty much any kind of group I'm not sure what your point was. Honestly, you make it sound like religion is the only thing with extremists, and that it causes everyone who is part of the religion to go around ruining lives.

I was not trying to make that impression. And not always is small actually that small... Depends on the size of what you are comparing it to.

And, i guess I really had no point, I was just speaking my mind.

you mixed religion and the people who lead the religion
