As someone who is agnostic, bisexual and quite critical of organized religion and also someone that grew up going to a church (it was even one that was very accepting all people) I really connected to this song. I am extremely lucky to have parents who love me regardless of who I love and I absolutely have no problem with spirituality or a belief in a higher power or powers. I feel like as a whole (there are exceptions of course) organized religion is frequently used to wrongly justify discrimination and hatred. Iâm of the feeling that if youâre beliefs arenât hurting others you are completely reasonable and decent. But using your beliefs as a weapon to hurt and discriminate towards people is absolutely horrific an unacceptable.
As someone who doesnât give a f***. Shut it
@@mackenzieball7004 If you really Didn't give a fuck you wouldn't of Bothered Commenting. Cmon that wasn't Necessary at all
@@dwayneparsons1333 exactly like I saw the comment and was like âuh oh we got a hateful personđâ
i totally get your point but wouldnt that make a world where "anything goes" i mean discrimination has many faces it can be blatant and stupid racism or sexism but it also can be less tough things like "discriminating" against people that want to ride a roller coaster naked.
I hope you get what i mean, just because someone "discriminates" against another person doesnt make it bad. I personally am glad that we discriminate sex offenders and pedophiles from working at schools so that the vulnerable in society like children are more safe.
If we talk about racism, homophobia etc, thats just dumb and shouldnt be tolerated
@@KS-mm5ce I don't think you understood his comment at all lol.
This is so true. 'What if Heaven is on earth?'
I have to sit through Bible study at my nursing home where I work, and the lady kept telling them that heaven is paradise and living right now is what we 'have to go through' to get there'
It drives me crazy.
love the guy in the audience who woops at the line "i don't watch you when you sleep"
"No one entertains the fact that maybe God does not believe in you."
Good lord that's deep on so many levels.
I saw that this was uploaded 35 minutes ago but at a glance I thought it was 35 minutes long and my brain went, "Holy shit, Chris has some THOUGHTS to share about religion. I guess that's why it's been a week again."
Glad to have you back at this. Take care
Heh chris.. christ.
â@@godlyhax4172I don't like that this made chuckleđ
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!! Sorry I'm so hyped.
Okay I finished watching. I love your videos and your takes on his art, it's such a good combo to see you two. I'm glad you're okay! I hope it continues that way! hug
ME TOO UGH. Iâve been anticipating this forever
As a Christian myself i cant remember the last time i went to church willingly am i a believer yes do i shove it down peoples throats no and i personal dont agree with most the stuff the Bible says i should
Way i see it theres a god that just wants us to be free and happy with good morals and willing to help people with a friendly smile i dont need church to be a good person
And if you a non believer its doesn't bother me at all i respect everyones views
Also great vid đ
I think I get where you're coming from, even as someone who is generally science minded and doesn't believe in the supernatural. The problem I find with most organized religions is just that, the organization. Like they are trying to systemize something that is so intertwined and complex beyond our understanding that we use the blanket term spirituality to describe it. It's not so much a set of rules as it is a "Vibe" that you feel. A connection, an expansion of possibilities, a great sorrow, the natural world itself, it comes in many forms, but the deep interconnectedness of everything to everything else is the "Spiritual" feeling I have experienced in my life...
Love the line about "I sent gays to fix overpopulation, boy did that go well" because it insinuates a couple things. First, is that maybe God (if he exists) actually created gay people the way they are, in which case there's absolutely NO way it could be a sin. Secondly, the "boy did that go well" referring to how we've ostracized gay people instead of just accepting them. Good stuff
"If you want love then the love gonna come from you" now that's is one quote that i will never forget till the day i die
As a youth pastor- I've shown this in Sunday school multiple times, lol (high school, of course)
I am a religious person, and I thought your insight was perfect. I actually agree. I found God myself, and it wasnât forced on me. But I agree that some of the worst people in the world are religious. They hate themselves because they have this guilt of not measuring up, and they project it on everyone who is not perfect, just like them. Itâs so sad. Life on earth could be heaven if we all just loved each other and stopped judging otherâs actions. All God asks is that I try to be my best, and I am learning to be patient and loving with myself. I am such a better person because of it. Much love all, no matter what you believe. At the end of the day, we all came from the same power, whether that be God or the Big Bang
I'm agnostic, kinda leaning atheist since it's so hard to convince me of religious stuff- But that last thing you said was one of the realist things I may have ever heard, and I'm being honest. Usually I don't make a comment on this type of thing, but that's super true but for some reason I never thought about it in such perfect words. Even if I do put my faith in science more than God, it doesn't change the fact that in both settings, we came, in one way or another, from the same origin.
IÂŽm atheist and i have one thing to say about the things you said.
Amen to that! đ
You donât owe anyone anything, for you to put anything out is a gift
Yay Iâm so happy to see you back! I was a bit worried. This is one of my top 10 Bo songs. I put it on the same plane as Art is Dead. I love (Iâve commented this on a bunch of other peopleâs reactions) that I totally took it from an atheist perspective when I first heard it, then was shocked to see people who are Christian and Muslim also react to it and see it (and agree with it) from their own viewpoint. Leave it to Bo to put words into the mouth of freaking GOD and have a bunch of people from different faith and no-faith perspectives all think it was meaningful and accurate.
Iâm having a major slump right now myself. Thanks for your generous work. Always happy to see you.
I love the message of this song. As someone raised atheist, I believe that to be a good person it is better to learn ethics than religion, to actually make the world a better place. I do, however, appreciate that a lot of people need something to believe in to give their lives structure, community, and comfort.
Raised Atheist myself as well, so it is sometimes hard for me to deal with very religious people, but DANG I love this song! I absolutely know that I'm a good person because my parent's taught me to be one. You don't need external advice that makes no sense. But, whatever, I try to be cool with religious people anyways lol
Glad to see your back, love the videos man, hope everythingâs going well
The fact that after you pause the video to comment on it you go back a couple seconds is *chef's kiss* 10/10 wish all reactors did that lol
bro...as BB fans especially, we know how it is lmao, as far as something happening, that throws you off of your routine, it happens...no need to apologize, we're all just happy you're back!! much love my dude!!
Unrelated to your videos directly, but those posters in the background lol. Shoutout to that Club Nintendo reward with the 3 smash posters, I still have all 3 framed as well!
So glad to see that you are back, I have been so geeked for this reaction!
GEEKED! Same tbh
What you said about religion bringing out the worst in people, yep. I just finished a book that had this quote - "People need a sense of righteousness to take things from others, to carry out violence. Divinity gives them that. It creates the reins for cruelty."
I'll always love Bo Burnham, come for a comedy show, and stay for him trying to give people lessons about just being a good person for the sake of being good.
So glad you're back, and everything's good!
I really like your interpretation of âmy loveâs the type of thing that you have to earn and when you earn it you wonât need itâ - Iâve always been unsure of what that meant. I kind of thought it was about the irony/hypocrisy (not sure what the right word to use is) of religion that you need to be a good person to earn godâs love but at the same god is supposedly an all-loving supreme being. But I think your interpretation makes more sense.
Btw Iâd really like to hear you react to rant and Art is Dead. I think theyâre from Words Words Words so itâll be quite a while, but theyâre really good ones.
the way i've always understood is that if everyone was truly worthy of god's love, aka everyone was a good caring person with each other, you wouldn't even need god, because any problem you ever had, other people, everyone would be willing to help you through. a selfless world.
Stay sane, do what you need to do. Love seeing ya pop up on sub feed.
Also prob one of my fav Bo songs from What.
5:29 That line hit a lot harder in 2013.
Good to see you back
I would say that have a very similar religious belief. I semi-regularly attended a Southern Baptist church growing up, and was baptized when I was 13. As I went through Jr. High and High school, I began to see the bad side of people that seemed to come out through their following of Christianity (in my case specifically) and stopped attending church altogether. Even with that, I still volunteered every year to work for the Vacation Bible School for young kids in the Summer, because I think religion can be a very important part of people's lives, and everyone should have the opportunity to experience those thoughts/ideals and make their own decisions about whether or not they want to follow them as they grow up. Many people want or need that guidance and have very pure intentions with how they want to portray and follow those beliefs, while there may be some bad apples in the bunch. Love the reactions, Chris. Glad you're back!
10:00 thatâs sounds like a trick to get you to hell. âDo whatever you feel rightâ
I feel like almost anyone who is watching you react to this song isnât going to judge you or get offended. We know where Bo stands and it would be wild to expect anything other than your actual feelings about it. & Donât stress on a time frame of uploads! Just do what youâve gotta do and weâll be here đ
btw when you get to the song repeat stuff, there's also a music video on his channel. Think it would be interesting to watch that after the performance version, for your reaction to both, cause the music versions even more satanic.
This song is strangely comforting to me
Another spot on analysis! This is definitely in my top 5 Bo songs and it always hits me in the feels.
Good to see you back! đ Great reaction as always, it's like Bo's content just clicks with you. The bit where you told about going to whatever church just because you had to be there tells me you're going to like RantâŠđ
Yessss! My thoughts exactly.
@@maggiegeeee I wonder if Chris also used to sit in the back and nod⊠to the beats bumpin' from his iPodâŠđ
@@pixelised yes and I also wonder if whilst doing so, he thought to himself âMy God, theyâre starting to pray! Over the music I can hear them sayâŠâ đđđ
@@maggiegeeee ShhhâŠđ€« Don't spoil it further for Chris!đ We have to assume he might be readingâŠđ
đ
Glad that youâre back Man! Been waiting for this video. Thank you for doing this! đȘđŒ
Love watching your reactions cause you are so genuine đ thank you!
Bo Burnham's mother is a Christian and a nurse (special caregiver for dying patients), and I imagine they must have had thousands of conversations about finitude and spirituality.
Bo said in a podcast once that he likes going to church especially because of the silence.
And what I love about the From God's Perspective lyrics, is that it doesn't close this discussion. It opens it up to many others.
so glad youâre back!!! if you donât end up reacting to words words words i recommend checking out rant from it though!
Love your channel man. You're fantastic and dig your interpretations and rabbit holes you go down. Don't stop!
That thing you were taking classes at church for every Wednesday in the lutheran church is called confirmation.
Your beliefs are your beliefs. If people wanna get butthurt, let them. Those kind of people go out of their way to find things to be upset about.
You do you Chris
Hey man good to see you back
ive been looking forward to ur uploads everyday! keep it up man
Beautifully put! Great to see you smile!
Hope things will work out for you đ been waiting for this one, one of his best!
Whats nice about this platform is that it's really not much of a delay at all. Keep up the great reactions and looking forward to any content really. â
You have great thoughtful reactions. After you're done exploring Bo Burnham I would love to see your reactions to other videos. I don't think becoming an archetypal music video reactor would be your niche though, most wouldn't be 'deep' enough?
I can't even think of a good jumping off point but I'm sure taking suggestions from comments will hopefully lead you in the right direction after your Bo Burnham journey.
Best of luck with your channel, I will watch you every time.
In Catholicism, that once a week class is called Catechism. The length of time apparently varies as I think my siblings had Confirmation in like 8th grade, but I think I was a Junior when we finally got to Confirmation. (There's 7 years between my next sibling and I, so maybe it just got longer as time went on or something, I don't know.) And though I had planned to stop going to church afterwards since my mom had agreed she wouldn't make me after Confirmation, I found the organist at the church we started going to quite cute, so I kept going for a while afterwards. (Actually took her to my senior prom.)
For the record, I believe in God, just not devoting my life to Him.
Just a reminder, you were going to âConfirmationâ. Itâs the classes you have to go through to re-confirm your baptism and learn the church doctrine. Iâm now an atheist but I was raised in an LCMS church. Love your reactions!
That's the same thing make up your mind lmao đ
@@oogaboogassno itâs really not
Missed you, my dude! Unique reaction as always. I really love this song too.
If you have the tiniest bit of introspection, you love Bo Burnham. He plays out the internal conflicts we all experience on stage, which is an artists gift to all of us.
"wake up babe, Chris uploaded a new video!"
Man, I love your content. You are one out of the 2 reactors I watch on youtube for the creator itself and not the content. Huge thank you for making my day better.
Not gonna go into the religious thing bc I was raised in a cult and have too much to say, just wanna say please take as much time as you need to sort/improve your personal life. We will be here when you get back.
This song was my first intro to Bo after Parks and Rec, and itâs still one of my favorites. As a secular humanist it describes my âreligionâ pretty perfectly.
The classes you went to every Wednesday were called CCD classes (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine). In Illinois if you go to public school you gotta go to ccd classes to play sports for a private school (in case your school doesnât have enough kids for football, for example)
This song makes me want to be a better person.
Glad to see you back and that things are going good!
Religion brings out the worst in people, but sometimes it also brings out the best. Its a double edged sword man.
The only reason that I was able to eat when I was homeless was because of the Mormon church. It's crazy too because the Mormon Church gets like the most hate. But they were also serving out sandwiches for anybody who came up and asked for one, no money paid.
this is one of Bo's best, that last part just hits man...
Hope youâre doing well man. I know that slumpy feel all too well. Donât ever feel like youâre obligated to give us videos constantly. We love em but Itâs ok to take time for yourself/family. Take care
Welcome back my dude! Its great to see your face!
SO happy to see you back Chris! I can't wait to see your reaction to "Repeat Stuff" later on in "what."
You should watch âBo Burnhams best jokes from the Green Roomâ. Thereâs a good 10 min compilation on CZcams. Heâs only 20 in it, and really holds his own around a bunch of older comics. And then he plays Art is Dead in front of all of them in same segment. He seems out of his element, especially when the comics point out how unique and good he is, but heâs very very Bo the whole time. Even if you donât react to it, itâs a really good look at younger Bo.
Another amazing reaction, love your videos :)
Love this one.
I definitely agree with everything in this song and also your take on it. There's a song called "Alleged Legends" by The Streets that talks a lot about this topic, and it's absolutely brilliant.
Es la primera vez que me topo tu canal; muy bueno, llegarĂĄs lejos
Yesss, you are back! Is good to see that you are fine
Going to church on Wednesday and thinking thatâs normal=oof
My grandparents go to church on Wednesday
Good to see you back. Also should check out "Rant" after this special - it's another religion based song from him but a Rap lol he actually is a god tier rapper if u check out his earlier stuff too
I feel and truly believe that heaven and Gods love are like a bonus if you mange to earn them. You don't really need it anymore at that point but you will still get them...
I didn't notice that you've been gone because I was gone for like 1.5 weeks too but I'm glad you're back making videos
And you can always take your time and you shouldn't have to apologize for that
Happy to see you back bro, hope to see more when you have the time. Maybe another cover?????? Ooooooohhhh
glad to see you back!
I'm an atheist so watching this song is just so extra funny to me
Good to see you back!
8:34 the people that are on earth makes earth hell. I absolutely hate humanity.
Pentecostal churches are most likely to have Wednesday services. I grew up in a Baptist Church but like you I'm not much of a believer to say the least.
I just mention this because you'd be surprised how much baggage that kind of upbringing can come with and sometimes understanding the church you were raised in can give a lot of insight into yourself even if you don't believe anymore.
the way you get god's love is not by being perfect it's by accepting him into your heart and then he will help you be that better person the fear of god is knowing he could abruptly change your life drastically at any given time. im only 15 but i'd love to sit and talk to you about religion
God wants us to treat each other with love and care and kindness etc. He wants world unity and hate to end. indifference to end. This world isn't based in love. It's based in greed. "Maybe God does not believe in you" is the implication that God doesn't believe in religion. That doesn't mean that you're bad for choosing a religion. It just means that it didn't increase your chances of being the right kind of person in his eyes.
Good to see you back! :)
i am catholic but i live my life in a "normal" way, i prefer to see religion as a very personal experience and i never go around saying hey believe in my god or stuff like that,and remember that God is not guilty for the wars that men start,itÂŽs the ambition and avarice of power what lead those idiots to do what they do,religion is just an excuse,like any other,for example weapons of mass destruction,just an excuse,saying that is like blaming heavy metal artists or video games because a fucking douche bag goes and massacres people in a school,pure crap.Religion has a lot of trash people too,obviously,but like in any other institution,church is not the exception,in the name of a god you can do a lot of shit and thatÂŽs the blame of the person itself,thatÂŽs my point of view.Great video as always man
Good to see you back! Hope youâve been okay!
Love this song. I tear up sometimes at the end. Don't know if you've checked it out but 'Rant' is one of my faves by Bo. Definitely check it out. đ
Unrelated - why the switch from the Blue Mouse to the SM7b? Very different microphones.
Was really excited to see this
I totally understand your view on this. I am a Christian and I believe in God and in Heaven and Hell. However, I donât fully believe in the bible. The bible was written by man and interpreted by man. I believe in a personal relationship with God and showing love to everyone. I love and support people of all religions and lifestyles bc I feel thatâs the main thing God wants from us is to love everyone! I donât believe gay is wrong (iâm bisexual myself) and my husband doesnât believe in God. We even have an agreement not to force religion onto our kids and let them choose their own faith.
I loved your reaction! Great job! I love seeing all the different viewpoints on this video!
'I'm a Christian who cherry-picks and loves hypocrisy and mental gymnastics!'
"I feel that's the main thing God wants from us is to love everyone!" - Nothing whatsoever in the religion says this. Great job not being a Christian but lying about it.
Loved hearing your thoughts on religion. I couldn't agree more with what you said.
gave me chills
I completely agree with you
Just take things at your own pace, we'll be here when you're ready and feel good about the videos. Hope you have a good week!
Hey Chris, can you let us know what camera/mic you use, please?
Audio is Shure SM7B into a GoXLR Mini mixer and video is Sony a6400 with a Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens
Top guy and great reactions!
Don't need to apologise, Chris đ just glad you're good, always look forward to your videos.
Both my parents were Catholic but they never forced it on me. I've always been more cynical than they were so I'm an Atheist and my only faith is in what can be scientifically proven.
Hey Chris, just found and subbed to the channel. Can I suggest Tim Minchin as the next musical/comedy artist you look at?
"Confirmation" - you went to church for Confirmation classes.
missed u, happy eeverything is fine
I'm very religious and deeply involved with organized religion, and it's one of the most beautiful parts of my life and an enormous source of comfort and spiritual wellness. But it only works that way because I believe that my religion is mine alone and I'm entitled to choose a religious congregation according to my own needs. It's when a church owns its members and their minds that religion becomes unhealthy.
Spot on assessment dude. Religious trauma here from everyone who tried to shove it down my throat.
In my opinion, religion can bring out both the worst and best in people. I know many people who had religion completely turn their lives around, and others who had it destroy theirs. guess it depends on perspective
So crazy he's like 22 or 23 here
