Imagine if we had a few thousand Tim's all preaching weekly to millions of people around the world, we might finally get the upper hand and start to erode the scourge that is organized religion.
You have to realise that tim was told a story by a guy at a bar then went home and wrote a full opera piece and hired the sydney opera house and got one of the most famous orchestras on the planet to play the piece just to shit on this dude and his mom.
I love how at the beginning, just before the song began, you were in full agreement of the idea that it couldn't be anything other than a miracle, what happened. Then, over the course of his song, Tim proceeds to systematically tear down those walls and show exactly how it most likely is anything but a miracle. The lesson here is, think about it before deciding on what it is. =P
This was the BEST reaction to this song I've ever seen. I appreciate you seeing the humour in his lyrics and not taking offence. Really enjoyed this, thank you.
Tim Minchin is a genius. He plays the piano like he’s breathing air, his command of the English language, his critical thinking all comes together to shape whatever message/social commentary directed at us in a way that we can all understand.
Really appreciate how despite the fact that Neal is a believer he will still appreciate the comedy, delivery and message of this bit even though it is pretty hostile towards his own worldview. As a bit of a heathen myself I rarely put myself in his position and consume "pro-religion" media, and I think it takes a lot of self-assurance and courage to do that and without submitting to the gut instinct to trash it. Basically, if everyone was as open as Neal is here the world would be a much better place!
Your laughter is infectious!! Really enjoyed this reaction! Tim had some troubles with the record companies- they told him his material wasn’t deep enough and didn’t appeal to the teenage market- so he wrote a song called “Dark Side” as an “up yours” to the record industry’s treatment of him. “Dark side-awesome version” is the one to check out next !! ❤️
Going through another crippling anxiety attack, I watched this at 4 am here, and I CRIED laughing, your reaction is just priceless, man! Thank you so much, you helped me. Greetings from Iran 🙋🌺 (PS: Tim's video is my all-time favourite, I'd love a m.u.s.l.i.m version of it played at my funeral in front of my devout parents 😁)
My absolute favourite of Tim's songs, loved your reaction. So funny how you agreed it had to be a miracle then as the song began you realised Tim didn't. Your a good sport and can see how it looks from a non Faith view and still find the song funny!
@@jamespicksley5781I mean, you won't have someone magically "convert" over the course of 15 minutes. But all it takes is for a seed to get planted for someone to start questioning their beliefs until they slowly erode away.
@@TheCabIe did you get the impression that happened in even the slightest way? Because it was clear that they were disregarding the things that could have made them even slightly uncomfortable even before they came up "yeah, I knew he'd bring that up". I wasnt expecting the Christian to be rid of their delusions from a 15 minute video, but what was shown was he's already too far gone for any argument to bring him back to reality.
Well he seems like a dude that analyzers things and is pretty open minded. It's pretty ignorant to think he hasn't observed the very obvious points Tim made in the song, so Im not surprised he said 'I knew he'd say that' multiple times. Anyone that is conscious of the world around them knows the comparisons he made in the song. Its not ground breaking shit. Positive and negative creates the friction that governs this dualistic operated reality, you cant have one without the other. Some people still choose to have faith and to be honest it is waay more likely that there is a spiritual element. Way more believable than some random big bang that somehow created all these perfectly mathematically balanced sequences and things perfectly designed to create and sustain life haha. That's just sounds like a delusional fear of the unknown and what you cant comprehend. I'm not religious however I do believe in higher levels of consciousness. So I wouldn't judge other peoples delusions too much, you're in the same boat you just dont see it. The beauty of a delusion lol. @@jamespicksley5781
Makes me happy to see people are discovering Tim Minchin, must have been 15 years ago when I first came across him and he was unheard of, Saw him live last year and he's even better now.
Tim is a genius! The catchy tunes, the AMAZING piano playing but can we talk about his vocabulary? My God the man is a walking thesaurus! A true wordsmith! You're great too. Quite an infectious laugh. 👍
I love Tim Minchin and his musical genius. I really love this song and I absolutely loved your reaction to this. I wasn't sure if you would take offense or not as my sister is a Christian and I wouldn't even dream of recommending it to her as she would be massively offended. I'm off to watch your reaction to Prejudice!! Can't wait. Thanks for this!! :)
More great videos by Tim: - Confessions - Storm - 'If I Didn't Have You' and Wife's Humour - Not Perfect - Tony the Fish and 'If You Open Your Mind Too Much Your Brain Will Fall Out (Take My Wife!)' - You Grew On Me - Rock And Roll Nerd - White Wine In The Sun - Lullaby - Cont. - Lonely Tonight - Dark Side (Awesome Version) - The Pope Song - The Absence of You
Your laugh is the greatest, I've seen so many reactions to this and yours is hands down greatest of all time 😂 thank you for doing Tim Minchin, please do more ❤️
LULLABY is probably one of my top Tim Minchin songs. Absolute genius he is. I sent that one to my friend with 6 month old twins and she was like WOW, that is spot on. 😅😅
i love how early on you’re saying “yeah it’s gotta be a miracle! that’s a miracle for sure” but you don’t get upset or angry at being basically told “no, fuck you” in the most musically petty way possible by tim 😂 i admire that honestly also every time i listen to this song i think about sam and wonder if he’s seen it. surely he must have if he was already a fan of tim’s work. imagine being sam and seeing that 😂😂
He makes some excellent points- so funny. My belief is he has a huge problem with the abuse of power in various religions, don’t blame him. Love his work around the historical abuse and cover ups within the Catholic Church. ❤
I follow no religion myself (I'm on the verge of Atheism), but I respect anything anyone chooses to believe in as long as they are not causing harm to others. It's so refreshing to see a Christian with an open mind, but still remain true to their beliefs. I don't think Tim's intention is to convert people to Atheism (like I've seen in comments here and there on other videos), but rather give a different perspective to those who have been forced to believe in something since they were young. Nothing was forced on me, so I've had freedom to choose my own beliefs. I 100% respect the comfort that religion can bring to people when it is practiced in a safe way! God bless :)
We all just have to remember that God created everything. So every horrible virus and infection in the world is created by him. And since we have free will, every child that dies from those Godly viruses and infections choose to have them. Or something like that.... I mean it's not like God would drown puppies and kittens because he was annoyed at people... right... Oh wait, this book that totally was inspired by him and are 10000000% true did mention something like that, but since god is good they probably deserved it...
But all love to you DTN Comedy ,"despite" your belief you are able to enjoy Tim and his song and more important his point of view. Even if I I'm on the other end of the belife-scale I'm sure you would be a cool dude to have a beer with.
A song of Tim's I really like, that no one ever seems to mention is "15 Minutes" which his take on cancel culture. You might like it as well. :) And I'll add my vote for Dark Side (Awesome Version). ;)
To be honest, you kind of sound like a 'believer' who 'believes' because that's just what you were brainwashed into rather than because you came to the belief yourself as an adult. Just saying :)
I think you're right to an extent I was also raised to believe in God. But i've definitely questioned my beliefs and I still believe their is a God but I think he works differently that what many other believers do. Which I guess is part of the problem that there are so many interpretations of who God is and the works that he's done.
Late to this, but i was raised in an even more intense very of christianity. And there was a similar situation of misdiagnosis or spontaneous remission with my cousin. They jumped way too fast because he had had cancer in the past. So they said he had cancer before he had gone in for additional imaging. So I don't think he had even been diagnosed yet, but they had seen stuff in his lungs on an xray. Which could have been anything, even just an issue with the way the xray was done. You need way better imaging before you are diagnosed with cancer. But as a kid i was told his cancer was healed from prayer. But they ALSO said that my aunt's urge to check the oven early when she was cooking turkey that kept it from being overcooked was a miracle, so....
Ya know. I needto espresso this , especially re this song ..,.. bc THIS WEEK MY EYE DR said the best thing ever . He said, just this Tuesday Sept 2022 ,.,. " I can NOT justify sticking a needle into your eye for the 8th tine" F sams mum..., I wàs resigned to having this done every 2 months or so. And after 7 months of no treatment I won on spontaneous remissso

@5:21 if that makes sense.. then... how... ? how is it your are still believing in things for which there is no evidence? Can you help me understand this? And @12:20 Sure you knew what Tim was about to point out but earlier you honestly called it a "miracle". so.... I'm confused.
Hopefully you will soon move past 'ChristianReacts' and any thoughts that you need religion for some reason. We are far more interested in you as Dream Team Neal, or just Neal the real deal thinking, feeling human person we can't help but love.
This song does a great job of pointing out fallacious reasoning, but it does not disprove god. I can believe a true thing for bad reasons. I don’t murder anybody because it seems like a lot of work. That is not a good reason to not murder, but not murdering is the correct position to arrive at lol The song should prompt deconstruction, but that’s all it can do. My intention here isn’t to moralize, so if that’s what comes across I promise it’s due to incompetence rather than malice lol Just something to consider if you want * the murder example is a joke ; Tim’s lyrics are too dense to address in full, and I’ve already established that I am not a high effort person 😹
As an ex-Christian can confirm that while this song is really cathartic for an atheist to listen to, many Christians would need much more untangling of their faith to deconvert - especially if they’ve studied apologetics, etc
My favorite comment on the original video is: "Sam no longer fears hell, because nothing could burn this bad." :)
☠️😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Still my favorite Tim song. It's just a non-stop burn on logical fallacies and superstitious thinking. 😆😆

Tim is all about critical thinking. Was beautiful to see it being used in real time here d
That beginning was such a glorious moment!

Just heard you say it's a miracle. Waiting to see what you say at the end 😂
Well done 👏
I think my mind changed a Lil bit by the end🤣

Tim Minchin is the best lyricist that’s ever existed. Definitely one of my favorite Minchin truth-bomb songs.
-“It IS a miracle!”
Give it a second…..
………
“I knew it was comin” 🤣
And this is what a laugh should be, you’re awesome lol

@@pollywolly7988 Just googled the 2 phrases, New Zealand..... Nice 🙂 Thank you for your comment 🌺
I think you might be one of the most open-minded people on the planet. Well done.
When miracle claims meet logic, logic always wins. It's amazing that anyone's still religous.
My absolute favourite of Tim's songs, loved your reaction. So funny how you agreed it had to be a miracle then as the song began you realised Tim didn't. Your a good sport and can see how it looks from a non Faith view and still find the song funny!
he made almost no comment and just brushed it off at the end because he''s so brainwashed into the delusions

Man, I loved how you are a self proclaimed christian an yet you like Tim's songs and acknowledge his point
This guy's laughter is contagious 😁
Now that's God given talent...It's a miracle!
Thank you so much for reacting to this! It's one of my fave Tim Minchin songs.
Makes me happy to see people are discovering Tim Minchin, must have been 15 years ago when I first came across him and he was unheard of, Saw him live last year and he's even better now.
Tim is a genius! The catchy tunes, the AMAZING piano playing but can we talk about his vocabulary? My God the man is a walking thesaurus! A true wordsmith! You're great too. Quite an infectious laugh. 👍
2nd video of yours I've seen, and the best part is how purely joyful your laugh is! You made my evening!
Oh man, I've got to give yo a thumbs up for taking that so well.
It's an absolute delight to see a Christian react so positively to this song. Kudos to you. 😊
I love Tim Minchin and his musical genius. I really love this song and I absolutely loved your reaction to this. I wasn't sure if you would take offense or not as my sister is a Christian and I wouldn't even dream of recommending it to her as she would be massively offended. I'm off to watch your reaction to Prejudice!! Can't wait. Thanks for this!! :)
Also, he does have an album of normal songs, he's also made a few musicals
If you want a more serious song I really recommend White wine in the sun or Not perfect, both of which are absolutely beautiful
I keep coming back to this video to share your joy and glee for our clever Tim ❤
I'm pretty sure that this performance is at the famous Sydney Opera House.
Loving your reactions to Tim Michin, he is a national treasure. Hope you do more of his stuff

also every time i listen to this song i think about sam and wonder if he’s seen it. surely he must have if he was already a fan of tim’s work. imagine being sam and seeing that 😂😂
Not only seeing it, but realising Tim organised a whole-ass orchestra to make his point 😂
you're a good sport :) great reaction!
he wrote the music for the entire orchestra. that is so genius we can't even grasp it.
He makes some excellent points- so funny. My belief is he has a huge problem with the abuse of power in various religions, don’t blame him. Love his work around the historical abuse and cover ups within the Catholic Church. ❤
“Take a break from giving babies malaria” says it all
Love your content! You're just such a genuinely bright person, it instanty lifts my mood as well!
Absolutely fantastic reaction. Thank you! =)
Brilliant reaction do more Tim Minchin. 😀

The innocence of thinking Tim was being legit changed his views in god is the funniest part
Man your laugh is contagious I laughed with you from start to finish
Absolutely brilliant, Tim Minchin.....
If you asked yourself these questions honestly it would knock that frivolous smirk off your face.😮

Awesome reaction once again .

And I'll add my vote for Dark Side (Awesome Version). ;)
If my name was Sam, I'd change it to something else just in case anybody thought that song was about me.
Great reaction bro 😂😂
This was one of the best things I’ve ever heard/watched 😂🙌🏻👍🏻❤️!
15:10 needs a clip of Tony Burton screaming "THROW THE DAMN TOWEL!!!"
To be honest, you kind of sound like a 'believer' who 'believes' because that's just what you were brainwashed into rather than because you came to the belief yourself as an adult. Just saying :)
I wouldn't come swinging that strongly, but isn't it strange how religion is 99% culture? It really depends on where you grow up.
I think you're right to an extent I was also raised to believe in God.

Which I guess is part of the problem that there are so many interpretations of who God is and the works that he's done.
It is a song that could be in a musical
Tim Minchin didn't just burn him. He placed him in the oven, turned it up to 500 degrees and cooked him alive! LOL
You're awesome and this was really fun to watch.
Ever heard of a misdiagnosis? Miracle lol
Loved your reaction!!!!!

I'm not trying to go on about you, bro.But kindred spirits man for real
Ever been burnt steadily for 5 mins by a whole orchestra? Sam has.
Dude. You laugh is seriously infectious.
If your faith cannot withstand sarcasm how are we supposed to take your god seriously?
This is brilliant
If anyone wants to know what cognitive dissonance looks like, they should be directed to this reaction video
Thank you. My thoughts exactly. This reaction is scary...and explains a lot...
Awesome reactions.. try “ Inflatable you “🤣
He has 4 albums out by the way
Poor Sam 😂😂😂😂
enjoy the deconstruction :)
For the algorithm
The Algorithm! 🙏
You need to know Ross Noble my friend, he’s a brilliant comedian
Great reaction video! Please react to The Pope Song, Confessions and Lullaby by Tim Minchin.

Yo! You need to do Tim Minchin's - The song for Phil Daust! Or CZcams Lament!
NOONE ever prayed over me.... I was an Athiest start to now....
'That is a miracle'

How can anyone believe in aliens, Bigfoot, ghosts, spirits, or anything else they don't have evidence for either? People believe in what they want to.
I'm not subscribing because you stop the videos too often and the threat is lost.
You sure you're cristian?)))
i cant like the video its sitting on 666 haha
Just found your channel, got to say you're a good sport, love the video.
