This is very profound, even if it isn’t me. There are insights in this that are reminiscent of Nooma. It’s worth watching the whole thing if you get a chance.

About Me
- Jon Speirs
- I'm just a guy trying to find out where I fit in the big picture. XXXChurch represents, to me, something very Christ-like. It makes people on either side of the divide between christian and non to think deeper about life and it's meaning. This summer I'm working with them. I'll let you know how I get on...

Thats quite interesting. Its a shame he missed the most important rule:
Love the Lord with all your heart, all your mind, all your body and all your soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Also, a few logical fallacies which caught my attention. Otherwise, an enlightening insight into the agnostic point of view, when the Richard Dawkins' Atheists seem to have the loudest voice.
Yeah, interesting, although it seems to me like he actually just lived for a year as a nominal but ultra orthodox Jew, rather than actually living by what the Bible teaches (which isn't surprising if he thinks that you can have 'Jewish bibles').
I would totally agree with some of his conclusions: such as not pre-judging folk but the whole 'pick and choose' conclusion totally misses the fact that correctly understanding and following the Bible does not require you to live like a total weirdo.
It's just such a shame that he managed to 'live Biblically' without actually personally meeting the person whom the Bible is all about - then he really would have had a life-changing experience.
Thanks for posting that though: very thought-provoking.
