Where Was God?

Where was God? Only in the minds of the religious. Better question might be, do you KNOW the religions (if any) of everyone that perished and survived? (and by the way, there were survivors at Ground Zero. They were in a stairwell that did not collapse).

I cannot believe that this day in age, a person that is no longer a child could even ask such a childish question. Whether from the Jewish, Christian, or Islamic faith, they all beilieve in the same God just different books, for those who still dont know that little bit of information; and if you truely have faith in the existence of God, then his presence in all this should not be a question. What did you expect, Jesus would magically return and carry those planes to safety before any harm could happen on American soil?

Mr_Green_Khalid : Corection- Hinduism, Buddhism, and Atheism and even Agnosticism comes to mind as not believing in the same "God" as you say when compared with Christians, Jews, and Islamists.

If you believe everything you have stated in this video then I have this wonderful piece of real estate on the moon that I am willing to sell to you for pennies on the dollar, or better yet, I will sell it to you for a prayer...

You know instead of writing huge paragraphs to vaguely tell me that you dont belive in God, you could simply say," Im an atheist." It would save both me and you some time and you could go rip on other's movies. How does that sound?

I like it, its put together then most, and you're only 17? wow, great work and I cant wait to see it on tv, you other guys need to get a life

Holy crap dude! You made this by yourself?!?! Me and you need to meet up or something, if current is too retarded to pay you for this I will!

I can tell by watching this, that God is working through you, God bless, I feel changed by this, and all of you ppl that are against this must be retarded

Wow im I cant express the jitters im getting from watching this, good job! and for you atheist retards.... get a life

We need more videos like this, praise God!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think this is an awesome video :)
there is such an amazing message in it!
this just reminds me that no matter what happens..
God is still God and Jesus Christ is still at the right Hand of God! :)

thank you for your minisrty, i pray blessings over you!!
God bless!

sereiously? where was god? how about where were you when got said " thou would be better off if thy did not sin"
the only thin i hate more the the where was god question is people who werent even affected bye the traggedy and still ask it! hold up wait a minute i gotta be a hypocrit for a seconed! where was god when all sorts of genocides were going on all over the world at all differnt times! ill tell you were he was!!! ... wait no i wont.

This video gives me goose bumps every time I watch it. While it is true that God is with us at all times, the question "where was God?" still makes itself present. Even the most faithfull believers find themselves asking this same question when trageties such as 9/11 occur. This video is a spectacular reminder that God is always with us in ways that we don't always notice and He obviously has a specific plan for us, whether we understand it or not. It is also a well made and thoughtfully planned. I thought the choice of music went with the video perfectly.

Great job and good work, im expecting great things from you

Some one play this on tv or ill gonna lay the hurt on someone! You must be blind not to play this

ay mayne, good stuff. dont be discouraged that people are ragging on it. you just keep doin what youre doin and God will handle the rest. ta-DOW!

and no offense, but to the people who obviously believe in God and call themselves Christians who have made remarks about the "retarded" athiests or whatever--think about how you're portraying yourselves...i mean im not condoning their remarks about God or this video by any means...but do you honestly think referring to them as "retards" and belittling them is ok..? seems to me like it would just give them more reason in justifying themselves to not believe in God or give Him the time of day...so try to think about that next time you start to make a remark towards someone like that... it doesnt reflect God's nature or what he's about at all...it just ends up hurting the kingdom.
anywho, God bless :)

Thecalling, I was not very nice in my comment earlier, when I should have told you that I thought your skills at developing this video was very beautiful and excellent execution. I have done animated text before and I know how difficult it is to get the timing right and all that. I apologize for coming across as critical of your work. I applaud your work, however I strongly disagree with the message.

God didn't have anything to do with 9/11 neither good nor bad. 9/11 was a conspiracy of people who for all sorts of reasons wanted to bring the United States people to their knees in fear. You have been made to believe that this was the act of terrorists; although the terrorists they are blaming are not the real terrorists behind the terror unleashed on 9/11. The conspirators are those who stood to profit most from terror in the United States. They have long been "in bed" with religious leaders through the one thing they both have in common; huge and vast sums of money.

Now I am not talking about your garden variety independent Christian congregation that is more like a fellowship of families; sort of like a big extended family. I am talking about the corporate "big box" churches who's pastors fly around in million dollar jets and publish books and take in millions of dollars a month in tax free donations; while their followers are tithing 10% of their gross incomes and purchasing all the books, cd's and DVD's that church has to offer. Christianity has been hijacked by corporate America and most Christians are too blind to see that it has become a big lie. They are being tricked into buying their salvation when salvation is a free gift.

You need to open your eyes to the fact that our government new that 9/11 was inevitable and they did little if anything to stop it from happening because our government isn't the holy thing you think it is. It has been infiltrated by greedy corporations and the people that they own. Yes they actually own entire families that can never escape except through death. Today's Christendom bares little resemblance to the true teachings of Jesus. Very few Christians today are turning the other cheek; no we are starting pre-emptive wars and killing millions of innocent bystanders in the name of freedom; freedom to worship this new twisted vision of Jesus. Jesus who rules with an Iron Fist.

This is not my lord and savior, no sir, Jesus who rules with love and compassion; who has mercy on all the lowest of the low. This is the Jesus I know. This Jesus would have nothing to do with violence in the name of God. He would have nothing to do with hating so called sinners like gays, drug addicts, abortionists. He would use love to conquer their hearts and heals their souls. God is love and we are all one in God's love. The same way that Jesus and God are one, we are all one too. Jesus himself said this while he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane just moments before he was handed over to die. We are god and we need to worship one another as we worship and love god. God first, and then everybody else. That is what Jesus said, two commandments that encompass all the law and the prophets.

God was there in many ways then one...

23 people have commented on his pod who have no post history, or anything on their account info page. They all have the same comment proclaiming how epic this video is. The same thing happened last time thecalling posted it. This is really strange. Either an army of over-enthusiastic Christians are signing on for this purpose alone, or I'm missing something.
I myself did not like the pod. It does not seem to have a substantial message, as I have already told thecalling. It seems to say that God's part in 9/11 was lessening the atrocities. Shouldn't he be able to do more, like, I don't know, STOP THEM? If God truly is present, then that would mean he simply allows these things to happen; he allows two thousand innocent people to die, and for what? What? This image that is portrayed of God, a stingy miserly father who has such neglect and contempt for his children seems to clash with the loving idol typically perpetuated. Why does God do such cruel meaningless things? He has the power to stop them, why wouldn't he? Sure, he gave us free will. So what? He can still stop people! Why should it be up to people to kill two thousand?

its awsome sam, keep on keepin on, and by the way God is always there, he never leaves us, we are the ones that leave him. so next time you want to ask where God is, take a long hard look at where you are first and you just might figure where it was that you left him.

I am an avid atheist, I don't believe in the message, but I must admit that the way the video was put together was very well and I like the fact that you used footage not seen that much.

Sam this video is amazingg!!! and to the person that said they didn't like it..you really must not have seen the whole thing to feel the impact. honestly, its amazing and everyone should watch it, it gets a good work across! Keep up the good word Sam!! =]

I'm not a big fan of the content, but I do feel that you did a nice job with the text layering, editing and getting YOUR agenda across.

You obviously put some time and energy into this, but it gets the Redlight from me. Not much here to work with. The music was... loud, and not yours? For me this was a waste of 4:44. I wanted something engaging or poignant or anything really, but the end came and there was nothing. I guess you've gotten some conversation going, and that's something.

This reminds me of a religious magazine dropped on my doorstep. The cover was of the planes exploding into the towers on 9-11-01, with the question "Where was God?".

The same answer (or question) came to my mind then as now, which is, wasn't "GOD" flying those planes into the WTC? What am I missing? Would they have carried out that murderous act if those virgins weren't waiting for them? I'm not trying to say that "God" was happy that day, because so many things are done in the name of "God" that are "un-Godly," including suicide attacks like 9-11.

I think you could improve your video and increase its impact by using narration and dropping the obnoxious music. Do you have any of your own that you could use? If this is your music, I apologize for putting my foot in my mouth. :-)

What you're missing, apparently, is that since God has given us free will, everything we do is our fault. Essentially, God has no hand in our lives... unless it's a good thing! Good things are attributed to God, but everything else is the devil's work, or the folly of man (neither of which can be stopped by God?). To me, it makes no sense. It seems that people are just fundamentally doubting the possibility that, and here's a bigg'un, man can do good things out of altruism. They say that man is inherently evil. Why not attribute the bad things to God? Why attribute anything to God? I don't know. You should ask thecalling. He's got it figured out.

I think that you make a good point dco, when it is something good and miraculous, it is gods hand, when it is something like 911, it is mans fault, or the devils work, or the bullshit message i am tired of hearing "god works in mysterious ways" if there is a god, why is he only there for the good times?

Glad you directed it to me dco,

Due to our choice to disobey God, (just as God said there would be) sin, death, and hell was established for fate. Since then people have been sinning like crazy, and you ask why wont God wear the pants and step up? Well guess what guys, He has stepped up, God's response to sin, is His son dieing on the cross, His response to pain is divine healing, His response to death is eternal life.

The truth is God has His hand on everything, you just have to open your eyes and ask God for His blessings, 2 Corinthians 12:9" But He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in your weakness.
