Crash Test Dummies: God Shuffled His Feet

With their sense of humor, it wouldn't surprise me a bit...

I noticed the girl with the hat put the same question in twice. I think she said " are there UFOs that come from other planets?"

tell me examples ... and tell me how many victims there was...

god this tune makes me cry!!!!! it reminds me of my nan dyin of cancer x

that was deep. really deep. good video.

ahhhh no way!!!

Democracy had caused more wars in its 400 years of recent history than religion had in its 4000+ years.

like people who kills and enslave entire nations for peace & democracy...

3:35 DONNY DURRRRRRRRRRRR!

wow that jesus is fuckin CREEPY!

Amen to that

But yes, I like CTD. :D

Religion dosn't start wars, it's the dumbasses who start war and say it's for religion. That isn't religion. That is complete stupidity.

If your running out and stabbing people in the name of god, your a F***ing hypocrite.

CTD's Rule!!!!!!!!!
religions give me a head ache. Its a F**king story yet it manages to cause so many wars.
Why do people get so worked up over it?

I think you completely missed the point of the song. But that's just me.

Each person does search individually, but if we truely believe there is one God, this search for God becomes a communal affair- ask question, challange the status quo- so while we may interact with the divine in different ways- and feel a closer afinity to different aspect of God- we all still seek the same Being- that seeking shouldn't be some sort of existential experience, but a mutual wrestling with the truth of God's nature.

If you're going to have true faith in God, not only do you have to abandon the image of God that you've been told, but question his existence. If you still believe in god after that, you have to find your own idea of what God is.

If you don't do that, then all you are doing is repeating what you've been told. Not really believing.

yeah- as a Christian, I'll admit that's a relatively Christian idea in a way- St. Augustine said that basically the moment that we have an image of God in our heads, that that image we have CAN'T be God completely, because God is undescribeable- or at least not completely.

What a great song from an underated band.

I find that a lot f Crash Test Dummies songs are quite funny to begin with, but over time I realise that a lot of them are quite profound.

I think this song speaks to how people often look for the "lazy" or easy solutions to life, that faith will put all the answers in your lap for you. To God however, the answer is of no value without the undertaking of the journey to find it. I think it also says that no one should define your life for you, it is what YOU make it (as eluded to in the parable about the boy...he thought having blue hair was wonderful, but when he thought his friends would make fun of him, it changed his view).

I'll drink to that.

I think the real God at the end was wiping his brow and thinking that it's about time that people are waking up to what a mockery and puppet Man has made of the real God.

I'm just sayin'....

I think everyone has to go through that process - letting go of the version of God that exists in their own head in order to open up to the real God Who infinitely transcends anything we can think or imagine and Who is so, so good. Those who just stay with their own mental versions seem to end up in narrow and bitter places.

Having seen the video, I think that your interpretation of the song is quite possibly the right one, or at least a very logical one. But on the other hand: Who is this puppet anyway? Does it really refer to Godfather himself or rather to one of his prophets, in this case Jesus? Throughout history, God always used men to act and speak through them. Maybe the song states that you can't just ask God a direct question and expect it to be answered directly. And who is the man behind the curtain?
