Two pieces of skeptical artistic expression

Here are two pieces of art (a beat poem and a hip-hop song) that I really like. They are more on the topic of skepticism than atheism, but I think they are beautiful and express the way many atheists think.

I like pretty much everything Tim Minchin does. Enjoy “Storm” a beat poem that sums up the thoughts I have when I’m in a health food store. I’ve often been “Trapped…in the blinding headlights of vacuous crap.”

I also like pretty much everything Baba Brinkman does. You can also check out his guide to the Canterbury Tales and Evolution. Enjoy the Rationalist Anthem “Off that.”

Art and religion

Art and religion have always had a strong relationship, their interaction is inseparable in the Renaissance and in many other time periods, locations and subjects. Al Farrow has a creative, and visually stunning approach to the topic. He has made churches, synagogues and mosques, as well as other religious icons, out of munitions. In his work the viewer at first sees a beautiful structure, and only after closer inspection can one see what it is truly made of — a poignant criticism of religion indeed. You can see more of his work here and at his website http://www.alfarrow.com/.
