This is a home made music video of my latest song "Jesus and His Dad" that will be available on my next album. The song addresses the 'anthropormorphism' in god/gods- specifically in the myth of the benevolent Yahweh and his savior son Jesus. Anthropomorhism refers to the humanistic traits mankind has attributed to his gods over thousands of years. Therefore, this song addresses both Jesus and Yahweh's personalitiy traits as well as their second hand/hearsay (neither one ever wrote anything directly) religious views written in telepathic dictation by the writers of the bible. I added a few soundbites from the late great George Carlin to the song as a tribute to him, his views, and to add a little comedy to what I think is a very serious song. Being that it is my nature to 'question everything', after I recorded the song and made the video, I started to wonder why I'm so stuck on the god/gods/and religion in general and why I have such strong views on the subject. The answer is that I see religion as a giant impediment to progress and unity between cultures as well as friends and family members. Nothing ruins a conversation better than discussing politics and religion. The views in this song are an expression of where I am right now in this point of my life...I accept all spiritual paths that people may have as long as they accept mine. I am a humanist, which means that I believe in the human endeavors of mankind most notably science and reason. I hope my fellow humanists, atheists, agnostics, and all those in the free-thought world enjoy this video, but most importantly I hope this video leads the dogmatic believers in the world to at least question and think about the supposed
'truth' they insecurely hold so dear. peace and love to all!!!

This video is a compilation of clips I shot at Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland combined with the song 'Nature Vs. Nurture' from my 1st album Question Everything. I thought the song would go well with the videos because the it asks the question, 'why do people kill each other?', that ran throught my mind as I walked through the camp. I am interested in this question from a phenomenological perspective. We already know that it is a combination/dialectic of nature and nurture and not an either/or answer in most cases. However, in cases like the holocaust where a sociologically collective consciousness commits such acts then different phenomenological questions can be raised as to nature vs. nuture. Watch the video, listen to the song,and let me know what you think, peace and love PRoCLaiM www.proclaimcreations.com
