Haha, I love School House Rock...
You know there's a stage musical based on it??? A lot of schools do it...

THAT IS SO SCARY. I can't really grasp the symbolism, though - is it pro-religion or anti-religion?

Well, I do - its actually a really fascinating video, I'm trying to figure out what they're trying to say...
Either way, though, its too disturbing for TV. o_0

My mommy says that was made by SNL, not the actual School House people. Which makes it a lot less disturbing. www.gethappy.com/watchmore.html^This is the most amazing short film ever made.

...that was kinda scary... wow. I can't really grasp the symbolism, though - is it pro-religion or anti-religion? Swoosh, I appreciate your desire to find a meaning behind things, but not every single thing that you don't fully understand has to do with religion.

Um... it involves Satan and Creation. It probably has something to do with religion.

Yeah - but I can't figure out if "Satan" represents the actual Satan or God... It seems to switch back and forth, actually.
Plus, I know for a fact its symbolic because its based on a symbolic short story by Mark Twain.

I think it's Satan, because he sounds so sinister and hates humanity. Plus he's effing creepy.
If it's a portrayal of God, it's such a sinister one that the cartoon is saying that God is evil. Which is very nearly the same thing as Satan.

Well, yes, the thing is, it could be an anti-religious cartoon, basically saying that any God who runs a world where death and suffering is so rampant has to be more like the Judeo-Christian Satan than its God.
