Religion and so on to make you think what is good and what is not good in this world, great song as well from Alan Parson to make you think of it and just thnk of what is going on today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfY6eT28fZY
In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.

It was good Sean. The song and the message. However, the guy who did this has to also realise that not all the symbols for the "eye" are meant for evil. E.g. the "all seeing eye of God", so we must be careful not to take one interpretation and fit it in with every other and demonise the rest. A similar symbol may not have the same meaning! This we must be careful of and it's been done before.
I personally felt offended at how some things were represented on the video and especially a comparison made with the Pope, which I thought was unnecessary and unfair.
Being a Catholic myself, I came into the church and made a journey to Christ because of the faith! I came from an aspect of the occult too, and was released from it. My conversion story is because of people of faith, Catholics included.
However, we can indeed come to our own conclusions based upon our experiences and study. I however, came to a very different conclusion once I put aside the demonised preconceptions and was able to see for myself (and read)and experience the reality and understand. I can't expect others to feel the same way of course. That's my experience.

Eye of Sirus or Horus I believe it is. The Pope thing I would not worry too much about, just remember he is a man and no man is God, so you can just look past that if you wish and don't worry too much or be offended by it! If Jesus was up there I would not watch it or be appauled, but they won't go that far on those videos. I am glad you enjoyed the rest and the message, shows you all the sings they have all over in our paintings or whatever that have the eye in the sky and they are watching you! I believe the end is coming soon and signs point that way, I hope I am wrong as a God fearing human being.

Hi Sean,
Thanks. I am used to a few of the anti-catholic stuff around, so it's not a shocker to me. I just like to point it out sometimes, because if you know something might be an incorrect/unfair representation then it's good to speak up.
Well the Pope, like all of us, is indeed human. We know that, he knows that. He has copped much abuse and ridicule for standing strong on Christ's fundamentals (even by many of his own) and we stand strong behind him for not giving in. He's even received death threats because of it.
Christ is often the main target of fun, or those that stand up for His truths. We see this increasing as time goes on. And I dare say it will continue to intensify!
Like yourself, I believe we're in the latter days.

Yeah it will continue and it will get worse! You are right there, thats the devils plan, his days are numbered. Just keep your faith in Christ through all of this and pray! Don't stop your belief in Christ no matter what, peace.
