Silly me for thinking that I came here....
Edited on Thu Jul-28-11 07:07 PM by BrendaBrick
and well, just sort of naturally expected an atheist/agnostic sub-forum. (There used to be one here - did it not)? Or am I like....well, you know...*imagining things*? ha ha ha.... (Pun intended ;-)

Here is an absolute GEM of a short film. Has garnered all sorts of awards - the world over, actually.

(Apologies if this is a repeat here. It is after all...NOT brand-new)

Check it out:

Very, very clever stuff!

If some of you somehow find yourself just not quite able to grasp its concept....yet something just kind of...well, just irks the shit about you that you just...can't...quite...grasp....?

Good!

That means it is working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I'll say no more)!

3. Silly you. Actually, you have found atheists/agnostics.
Doesn't seem to make much sense, huh?

Thanks for posting it.

5. You know how you said that it would be confusing?
Well, I was confused. I almost quit when the dude was doing the tango with the car, but I persevered. It didn't help.

I guess it was just too heady for me. My head hurts!

:banghead:

But I still think that it is good to share things that you find interesting. And.....if you have any explanation of what I was watching, I would love to hear your take on it.

6. Oh Pleeze Curmudgeoness...........
No head banging...PLEEZE!!!!!! (been there - done that...NOT pretty)

I'll pm you on my slant of this as I perceive it...which may not be 100% in the ball park, but my sense is - there abouts.

(Who knows - maybe you can offer me some other insight ~ )

7. It made me think of odds.
The meaning of 'odd' as in 'strange' and 'odds' as in 'probability.' The shots of the Las Vegas skyline at the end reinforce that interpretation. Some people believe that probability is God, or is a manifestation of God. That's why so many gamblers are superstitious.

8. Although I did not see the odds thing that way,
I have to love your take on it. Probablity is GOD! I guess that explains it as well as anything I have heard in a long time.
