Music is the food of love....

Goatboys'pen has posted a selection of music videos for your enjoyment and edutainment.
Music is food for the soul, a fuel for the expression of feelings that are otherwise unexplainable. It is though music that language transcends its limitations of construct and form and are allowed to break free to create entirely new meaning. We act as vehicles for the words to arrive and as such we see that out physical form is just a tool for the expression of the voice inside.

.......and Laughter is the best medicine

Goatboys'pen has, over the past few posts, become increasingly political, which was never the intention for this blogsite. In these times of global social and political conflict, it is important to remember that life is just a spell, just a passing moment in the memory banks of our psyches. We would do well to spend as much of the experience as we can , simply enjoying it for what it is..... and what is it? Well, who can tell?
can you?

so here is a collection of comic clips, routines and happenings to help you remember to smile and most importantly...not to take it all to seriously.

Tim Vine…
If some quick fire hits of stupid gags timed to perfection is what you need then look no further… Tim Vine is the spitfire of one-liners


Demetri Martin…. Gentle punchlines, like a master of the martial arts, Demetri delivers a powerful punchlines with the gentlest of touches


Sarah silverman....
The amazing, insightful, intriguing and ever so watchable Sarah Silverman plays with her audiences and their sensibilities as she walks the fine line of good taste with artful grace.


More from Sarah doing what Sarah does….


Emo Phillips…
The one and only Emo......


ISLAM VS CHRISTIANITY
Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert have a humorous debate over religion. Carell is backing Islam, while Colbert is taking the Christian side. The result is hilarious.

Is Jesus God? Sheikh Ahmed Deedat vs Anis Sorrosh

For some religion is dead ....consumerism has killed it

For others it it is not..
in these times more than ever it is necessary to explore the theology that separates and connects the beliefs that people have.
with more than 1 billion Muslims worldwide and the Islamic faith rapidly growing while Christianity is decreasing, we could do well to try and understand the conflict that lies between these two schools of religious thought.
It is a very simple and basic theological problem and it lies with Jesus......
(always getting the blame isn't he! maybe he shouldn't of bothered and just stayed at home with his mum)
The discord arises out of the Resurrection of Jesus because this ,to the Cristian, is the prove that he was not a mortal man and in fact "God"-(whatever that means) where as any Muslim is quite happy to go along with Jesus being a prophet, a great master and holy man......but only ever that ...just a Man, a mortal man, like you and me.

This issue separates theses two cousins of the house of Abraham because essentially the Muslims think that their Christan cousins are living in la la land and believe in people who can do party trick magic as their saviour, and the Christians think that the Muslims are all crazy because they don't believe that the tricks are real!

Sheikh Ahmed Deedat was challenged to a debate to discuss this contentious issue in an historic event held at the Albert hall.
Deedat masterfully deconstructs the theories that the christian scholars put to him on the "immortality" of Jesus and then proceeds to expose how Christians have used the bible as a book of misinformation, which it is has become.

The Christians are nervously shifting in there seats with a look of discomfort by time that Deedat has finished with them, He knows his bible better than they do, he is able to quote and reference it with out a copy in front of him and even corrects and explains misinterpretations that the Christians have made...of their own doctrines!!!

Deedat aimed at providing Muslims with theological tools for defending themselves against the intense missionary striving of many Christian denominations.
Deedat was a master of languages, a master of the Scriptures, a wonderful speaker who held the platform with grace and dignity, with humour and passion and was always a pleasure to listen too.... he was such a great man that as he takes to the platform to begin his response to the christian party, the Christian speakers hug him ( listen to one of them repeatedly say " i love you i love you" to Deedat.)


Here is an example clip of the debate and for the full lecture cut and paste the link below and watch the clip series at youtube.com
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcMzHgq2zRo )- for full lecture.



" WE are just WOOORMS! "
"We don't do monkey trickS!"
Deedat gets stuck in to the contradictions of the christian doctrines...



While not wanting to offer my own thought on the issue of Jesus and his mortality, as it is for you do find your own truth, i have always agreed with William Blake in his marriage of "Heaven and Hell" where he says....
God is made manifest through man- Christ was the first to make this distinction.

and as Jesus himself is supposed to of said-
"are ye not all gods?"

here is a some footage of Deedat taken in a more relaxed setting, where he Sheikh Ahmed Deedat debates with the American soldiers of the First Gulf War in Saudi Arabia.

See how the arrogant American soldier enjoys saying his name wrong to try and wind him up and Deedat simply says " just call me uncle"

It is an example of brain over brawn but is sad to see that someone as masterful as Sheikh Ahmed Deedat has to tolerate this petty minded infancy from grown men who really don't know any more than they did when they were 6 and yet now have the ego to think that they actually mean something.

Brian Haw wins Channel 4's Most Inspiring Political Figure Award 2007

Brian Haw is a man who I have often described as an inspirational person, a true warrior for peace and a man who I have been in awe of for many years due to his unwavering commitment and dedication to his campaign for peace in Iraq. He is not fearful of voicing his objection to the hanous crimes and deceitful actions of government at the cost of innocent human life, when he speaks he speaks from the heart and so he always seems to say exactly the right thing, he speaks simply and yet powerfully. He is a true voice.
And so it was with great pleasure and joy that that I watched him receive the award for Channel 4's Most Inspiring Political Figure 2007

He has suffered in his campaign while fighting for his beliefs (although I reckon he would say that it's rubbish to suggest that when you consider the sufferings of those less fortunate than himself), the cold wet nights of a smelly, noisy, aggressive, central London is no picnic stop, and he has been camped there not for weeks or months but for years. Many years. To see him gain recognition and to be given the opportunity to speak in his wonderfully unchallengeable style was a great moment and a small little reward for his hard work and endeavours.

On the occasions that I have met Brian and been granted the honour of chatting to him, he has been enlightening and wise with his calm and reasoned manner, and also has the gift of wit about him which makes him a pleasure to talk too.
(sometimes he really isn't in the mood for dialog, and why should he be, I am basically walking in to his front room and seeing if he wants a chat...its not like he can close the door on the world for 5 Min's and keep himself to himself, hes there on public display ,24/7 ,365)

Here is a video of him receiving his award and also getting the chance to tell to the faces of those who propagated and gained from this criminal war, why they must stop it.
