Religion as a mother - 60 Second Adventures in Religion (3/4)

To be quite honest, he's the main reason I came to this channel. It was being played in my class, and I wanted to see if he did any more. Thanks
Thank you for reducing everything to one minute. My short attention sp
Those videos are intelligent, funny and intelligently funny. Congratulations to all of you related to this project.
It's just so unusual to hear a concise piece of information that one might actually even want to hear another time, instead of trite repetetive dribble that's usually barraged at one during the day. Thanks!
These videos are great.
That explains fertility statues and their abundance in ancient cultures pretty well
Does anyone else notice that none of the videos are 60 seconds?
Good work
True nomadhar, I was thinking that myself.
I love the design of your Videos! How do you make them? What animationtool do you use?

Hi Corinna, we didn't produce this film in house but it was made by a company called Angel Eye Media
Got it, thanks. (Great channel, too).
Religions don't even need to have a concept of a deity in order to be one.
Well, mum's the word. Good speaker, I know that voice. Is it the actor in the UK who did Peep Show?

If you mean David Mitchell, yes. There are other videos in this series that do list his name in the title, not sure why this one doesn't. Edit: And here I am responding to a 10 year-old comment, that'll show me.
very nice
This video incorrectly states that widespread worship of female deities did not happen... and that's nonsense. While we can't know for sure about the entire world, many of the societies we can study today, of which we know a lot about -- for example, ancient Sumer, -- began with female deities or began with many deities, the most important of which was usually a female. And then over time those deities were supplanted by male ones in many parts of the world. They weren't strictly "maternal" either, and I feel that this video is highly reductive when describing them . . they had roles that covered pretty much all parts of society. You can find all of this information pretty easily, too. I recommend "Who Cooked Last Supper" because it's pretty clear and thorough.
Heya. Looks nice. regret call What's your opinion about that, guys !!
As an atheist I don't picture god at all. But wiccans see god more as a feminine entity.
Love it record woman
Yep, David Mitchell.
Actually that is speculation. The theory that those were goddesses has never been proven. It's a suggestion and it rests on the theory that ancient man surely would have seen mothers as God rather than another man - whch is wha the wideo showed
Is that David Mitchell?
Billie Eilish has seen this video
demasiado bueno
everyone should open their eyes and see the one true religion, Zoroasterianism. The great prophet zoroaster spoke of a uncreated god, which makes more sense than a male or female god!

Jake let me change my name Dagger back to normal I gave up telling people about the wonders that is Zarathushtra on KZread since people think I am a troll. I am now trying to help people on depression sites to tell them that there is alternatives to christianity. To tell them they can follow Hormazd
