The Sacred and the Profane: I’m Drawn to Both
I’m not sure what it says about me that I love both of these videos shown below — both the sacred and the profane. Perhaps that I’m an intellectually complex person. Perhaps that I don’t know who I am anymore, because I grew up Southern Baptist and now lean closer — but not quite over the line yet — to atheism. Or perhaps that I don’t like labels even though I pay attention to who I am.
Sacred (if you’re using a feed reader and don’t see the video below, click here):

Profane (if you’re using a feed reader and don’t see the video below, click here):

Do you have any dichotomies like this?

Let me be the first to comment. These are great vids without a doubt, and thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Blogzilla. The first one captures some of my favorite aspects of the faith I grew up in — history, meaning, harmony, suffering, joy, and familiarity. And the singing is gorgeous, isn’t it? The second one explains — in a bitterly funny way — a lot of the frustration I feel with intrusive Christians here in the southern U.S.
Best — Carolyn
