as an member of the global federation of futurists, its saddening to see that Christianity is still ruling the world on false pretense and is the very thing that keeps humanity from progressing.
Oh an there's nothing fresh about being Christian trust me. You know. The same group who think there's a dude in the sky and has a little shit son called jesus. So... the earth' only 2021 years old to you lot still or have ye caught up yet? 🤣
I'm an Atheist and I will always love this band. Their sound. The way their lyrics make me feel positive and like someone else gets the struggle of life. Excellent song and band
Spend some time one day pondering that positivity. Do that with no distraction, and no expectations, open mind, and no preconceived notions. Close your eyes and stare into the abyss. They're will be two people there waiting for you, choose the right one.
Not sure how people think calling your band Demon Hunter makes you satanic. That's about as anti-satanic as you can get. Edit: So these guys are alright with their music being used to torture people. Doesnt change the theme of their music but I just find that funny
Besides the music, obviously, the thing I love about DH is that the lyrics are always written with meaning, there's always something in their songs to think about/reflect on and apply to my own life. In the case of this song, standing firm in your faith (or whatever your convictions are) even when what you believe isn't popular.
This is a Christian Metal band. The Almighty Father has blessed us with this band. They've helped so many with their trials and tribulations. I've been listening to them since 2012 and I'm still here. I'm not ready to die.
I am a christian pastor, and I just want to say it's awesome that believers and non believers can enjoy great music like DH. And that great bands like DH are making their way into the "mainstream" and "secular" industries more and more now days. Because no matter what you believe, the music is always uplifting and encouraging. And for the fans who are unbelievers, it's never too late and you are very much LOVED. Thank you for giving Christian music the chance it deserves. God bless!
This song is beautiful. The message in it, the music in it. Demon Hunter never fails to bring the best. I can relate to this song so much especially with being a Christian. You feel alot like the world is against you and sometimes that may make you feel alone, but all your hope, faith and trust in Christ is worth it all. So, I'd rather be the last one alive than a soul denied.
The Christian Rock industry truly has grown to have some of the greatest talent the world has ever known. I love "Extremist" it is in my opinion the GREATEST Christian Rock album since Casting Crowns dropped "Until The Whole World Hears" or Thousand Foot Krutch's classic offering "Welcome to The Masquerade". I love "The Heart of A Graveyard" and "The Last One Alive"; both songs of which would be perfect in episodes of "Supernatural" or even NBC's "Revolution". This year's other great Christian Rock album is Switchfoot's "Fading West" with "Love Alone Is Worth The Fight".
Aw man, I know, right??? I mean, back in the 90's we had Petra and Whiteheart and Stryper, but then we got Mortification and Tourniquet and Deliverance, but they were only so-so when the secular music industry was exploding with awesome talent. Now behold! Demon Hunter, We As Human, Pillar, Project 86........ Where were these guys when I was a teenager?
Joan Arc Demon Hunter, Pillar, Kutless, KJ52, Seventh Time Down, Nine Lashes, Icon For Hire, Skillet, The Letter Black, Abandon, LeCrae, Andy Mineo, TobyMac, Capital Kings, RED and Tedashii are all amazing Christian Rock/Pop/Hip-Hop artist. They're taking the Gospel to a new audience.
Im sorry, but Switchfoot is FAR from Christian ROCK...I mean, I see how their old music is kinda ROCK but for modern times, their more towards the mainstream Christian Music, Which I HATE
***** Agreed. I was just thinking welcome to the masquerade only came out a couple of years ago. I hardly listened to it personally. I had moved on from TFK.
I take this in two ways. "Better I'm the last one alive than a soul denied". Could be either "I want to make sure everyone else makes it first" or "I don't want to be denied, so I'd rather be last". I like the former rather than the latter.
...like sort of a last call to redemption. Sometimes we wrestle with God because of our own ambitions but God said he would go to the ends of the earth for each of us. And only He know when that will be..
You don't have to be a devoted christian to realize that this is a damn good song. Don't get hung up on the implications so much. Music is music, take it in and enjoy the moment.
it's 4 am and for the last 2 hours I've been listening to recommended bands and so far they're all great. Love youtube for this kind of stuff. Would've never found this gems otherwise
I love Demon Hunter. God speaks to me through their music and emboldens me to live out my faith in a deeper sense with His Holy Spirit. Holy Holy Holy is our God and King!
I've seen these guys live a few times and have met them almost each time. Great guys and better music. I've been a fan of them since I was just a kid, and I really dig this song.
Just started listening to Demon Hunter this morning. Been working my way through all the albums, and I haven't found a song that I dislike. How did I go so long without this band's music? I can't wait until I have the songs memorized and can sing/attempt to growl along!
+ShivaServer2009 OMG. Thanks. I have been trying to remember the name of this group. Breath Into Me is the song I remembered. Had totally forgotten Both.
Not sure if there is anyone still watching this video. But anyways, I am a Muslim, and putting all religious indifferences aside, this song does help me strengthen my belief. If everyone truly think with their mind, this song would strengthen and unite all people from all religions. Great one.
Amazing. I completely forgot about this band. Forgot they were so good. Happily getting back into them. God did this for a reason for this time in my life is rough. Thank you guys.
Metal is not about what is in the lyrics, it is the way the music is put together and sounds. It is the heaviness of the guitars and drums and sometimes the vocals all rolled into one. Metal gets it's roots primarily in classical music. The sad thing is there are a lot of people out there who believe metal is all about war and death and hate when it doesn't have to be. Metal is so much more. Placing metal in a singular category like that is basically stereotyping the music and limiting how diverse metal can be. I like Demon Hunter and I consider them a Christian Metal band.
Demon Hunter is a great band that I have begun to love and respect. They have a different aspect on God than other Christian bands do. Each song like this one brings a message about life, faith, and daily thoughts. Thank you so much for uploading these songs!
I've been saying this since the beginning! Summer of Darkness was my first album (it's their second album...then I went back and got their first album), and they have just gotten better every single time! Their songs are timeless, too, so none of their albums lose any impact. I've not found many bands that can do this. I LOVE this group!
I hate when you talk to people(especially those close to you) about stuff like this they react as if you are attacking them, when in reality you are trying to prevent the worst thing that could happen to them: having their soul denied.
I don't care what anyone says, Demon Hunter is amazing. They may have mellowed in some ways over the years, but they have never let me down. This is worship music at its core.
I'm really liking the sound of this and Artificial Light. It's a good throwback to their Summer Of Darkness album which was my second favorite from this band. The Triptych holds a special place in my heart, though.
After this and Artificial Light, I'm pretty sure Extremist is going to blow me away like every album since Summer Of Darkness has. You guys are awesome. You too, Solid State Records, for signing these INSANE artists. Both of you guys can just have all of my money.
Demon Hunter is my constant right now. DH and As I Lay Dying were my two biggest influences and now Tim Lebasis got sentenced to 9 years:-/ I'll drown my sorrows on March 18.
The reason their songs are so strong, is because it's rock with God, it's for the sinners, the ones who don't feel they deserve heaven, or forgiveness, but never lose faith.
I love this... I have accepted that I will never be perfect on this side eternity but I'm not giving up... I will continue to fight the good fight with God on my side, and demon hunter as an encouragement 🤘🤘🤘
My favorite track on the new album. I really love these guys. There are a lot of great songs on here, but the lyrics of this song means the most to me. From my past it really hits me hard.
“The Last One Alive” is the first anthemic track that begins another thread weaved through the album of asking if “I’m the only one still standing in this extreme faith/trust/hope.” The song begins by asking, “Does anyone still try? Does anyone still hope to set their eyes beyond this place where angels fall and darkness reigns, where time dissolves the brightest flames?” The song brings a heavy charge against a world who allows the troubles and times to choke the light from their midst. However, it also offers a hope in/through/for the remnant as it proclaims “this is where we find the only hope within this place…” This song also features another great guitar spot that will keep purists in awe.
This one is softer, but DH is amazing enough to rock your socks off in track one and sing you into a peacful calm in track 2. I pray these guys continue to grow in their faith, and don't cheat their fans like As I Lay Dying did.
Keller Martin The lead singer came out about not being christian anymore, but they continued to write and sell albums to that population. After he started a side band, people confronted him about be "a satanist" and all he could say was "no, I'm not." Then he was sentenced to 6 years in prison for attempted murder and conspiracy on his wife. Crazy stuff.
Madi Rae I knew about the murder thing, and since it was only the lead singer, I thought the band "might" be Christian...I never took them as Christian like i do Abr
Madi Rae As I Lay Dying was one of my favorite metal bands. And then the whole murder conspiracy thing came out and I was like, "oh man." But I was interested and followed the stories intently. Then I came across the news story of Tim Lambesis's email to his wife renouncing his faith and I lost all interest in the band. It saddened me that someone would do that.
From a Christian perspective, I think this song is talking about the world and how hard it is for Christians to live the lives that we should...Its about how soo many have fallen away and lost their faith...But Ryan is saying that its better that he stay alive and cling unto what he believes, because he has a hope that theres more than all of this...This world is only for now...That we have a hope in Christ, and if we Hold on to Him with everything we have and believe in Him, when we will go to a place where there would be no more hurt, or pain, or suffering and that place is with Christ Himself...We won't be souls denied...and even if we don't die...We can be taken up (ascend) when Jesus comes back for us who believe in Him (the rapture).
Because "he" is a made up concept for small minded people to be lead falsely down a path that encourages false righteousness and denies the true nature of man; you should free yourself of the psychic vampires of the church and embrace yourself as man, the ruler of your life and answerable to no "god" or "lord".
@@darkdragon7952 yeah, try to live like that and see how fulfulling your life truly gets. Stop fooling yourself, you can't be master of your own life. We can't make even a single strand of hair white or black, don't fool yourself thinking that just because we have little power over daily chores, we can be more than we are by ourselves
I believe he is singing about how bad it is to be denied at judgement by the Lord, "On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." JESUS CHRIST Matthew 7 22 and 23...I believe hes singing about how horrible it would be to hear that and that its better to be living forever on earth than to ever hear that...Love this song because its so true, it really would be better to be the last human alive than a soul denied by the Lord.
Compleeeeetely off-topic, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people only hear one particular line of the song and automatically assume "This would be PERFECT for (Insert series they like here) just because of the words "Last One Alive". Yes, it's a good song, and yes, that's the title, but the meaning of the song will often have absolutely nothing to do with what people think it fits. In fact, sometimes it's the opposite. Not just this song either, it's all too common with pretty much every song these days. Rant over, enjoy the music.
Was searching for that one song for months which had that feel of putting me in a trance and make me imagine a full on battle between humans and zombies with it as the soundtrack/battle symphony.Didn't find it until this song.Thank you Demon Hunter.
I cannot believe how amazing this album is going to be... I loved True Defiance with all my heart I never skip any songs from it. I can tell right now that Extremist is going to be another amazing album by DH. I cannot wait to get my copy.. GONNA blast it! GO DEMON HUNTER! BEST christian metal band EVER!
Lyrics Did anyone survive? I swear I heard your voice beyond this side Does anyone still try? Does anyone still hope to set their eyes beyond this place? Where angels fall and darkness reigns Where time dissolves the brightest flame Ever the same Whether I'm the last one alive Or ascend before my time Better I'm the last one alive Than a soul denied So this is how we break And this is where we find the only hope within this place Where angels fall and darkness reigns Where time dissolves the brightest flame Ever the same Whether I'm the last one alive Or ascend before my time Better I'm the last one alive Than a soul denied Whether I'm the last one alive Or ascend before my time Better I'm the last one alive Than a soul denied Whether I'm the last one alive Or ascend before my time Better I'm the last one alive Than a soul denied (Soul denied) I'm the last one alive Or ascend before my time Better I'm the last one alive Than a soul denied
Demon Hunter was the first band that got me into Metal, and every two years I am always looking forward to what they put out. Extremist please come faster!!
Missing demon hunter right now. Saw them live in Oct and they played this among a really good set list,was good to see them finally for my first time. They said they would not be quitting and had no plans to. Just wish they would tour more, however I understand they have families and work, which honestly surprises me they still keep DH alive, but were happy for whatever they give us.
“Or ascend before my time” The time is coming brothers and sisters, He who calls out in the wilderness, Abba, Father! He is coming SOON to collect His church, and then the tribulation. Have faith for our glorious hope! Praise Jesus name above all!!
What does it mean to be Christian? What do you seek? What do you stand for? Who do you defend and protect with every drop of essence in your being. We are but vessels. The holy spirit is alive in all of us and we are waking up.
For some reason this makes me think of being a firefighter on 9/11 and being buried underneath rubble where the World Trade Center came down, and I'm the only known survivor . A "place where darkness reigns and fire appears beneath"
People who have a prob with Demon Hunter should not judge because Christians dont Judge and Demon Hunter is not Satanic they are one of the best Christian bands ever!!! GOOO DEMON HUNTER!!!!!!!
+Christian Graham Every religion doesn't have a Jesus or believe someone died for them.Seeing that there isn't proof of anything of Jesus existence other than a book.....well...........
Demon Hunter is a great name for a Christian band

Not sure how people think calling your band Demon Hunter makes you satanic. That's about as anti-satanic as you can get.

The Christian Rock industry truly has grown to have some of the greatest talent the world has ever known. I love "Extremist" it is in my opinion the GREATEST Christian Rock album since Casting Crowns dropped "Until The Whole World Hears" or Thousand Foot Krutch's classic offering "Welcome to The Masquerade". I love "The Heart of A Graveyard" and "The Last One Alive"; both songs of which would be perfect in episodes of "Supernatural" or even NBC's "Revolution". This year's other great Christian Rock album is Switchfoot's "Fading West" with "Love Alone Is Worth The Fight".
Aw man, I know, right??? I mean, back in the 90's we had Petra and Whiteheart and Stryper, but then we got Mortification and Tourniquet and Deliverance, but they were only so-so when the secular music industry was exploding with awesome talent. Now behold! Demon Hunter, We As Human, Pillar, Project 86........ Where were these guys when I was a teenager?
Joan Arc Demon Hunter, Pillar, Kutless, KJ52, Seventh Time Down, Nine Lashes, Icon For Hire, Skillet, The Letter Black, Abandon, LeCrae, Andy Mineo, TobyMac, Capital Kings, RED and Tedashii are all amazing Christian Rock/Pop/Hip-Hop artist. They're taking the Gospel to a new audience.
Im sorry, but Switchfoot is FAR from Christian ROCK...I mean, I see how their old music is kinda ROCK but for modern times, their more towards the mainstream Christian Music, Which I HATE
***** Agreed. I was just thinking welcome to the masquerade only came out a couple of years ago. I hardly listened to it personally. I had moved on from TFK.
I wouldn't call Extremist a rock album. Mors, obitas, decessus.
One of their best songs in my opinion. The structure of the song is well put together.
I take this in two ways. "Better I'm the last one alive than a soul denied". Could be either "I want to make sure everyone else makes it first" or "I don't want to be denied, so I'd rather be last".
I like the former rather than the latter.
...like sort of a last call to redemption. Sometimes we wrestle with God because of our own ambitions but God said he would go to the ends of the earth for each of us. And only He know when that will be..
I was struggling with understanding the chorus, and saw your comments.
I agree with your supposition, and agree; the former. Thank you :)
No, I think it means holding on to your beliefs even if everyone in your life abandoned said beliefs, thus making you "the last one alive"
I like both❤
This has become my favorite track by Demon Hunter
Jean Lalanne not only yours
It is a great song. Have you listened to the first three albums? Demon Hunter, Summer of Darkness, The Triptych
You don't have to be a devoted christian to realize that this is a damn good song.

these guys sound like cold, music and voice.... which is a good thing
what the fuck does that even mean?
Haha the band Cold. These guys copied their sound
Its OK young pup. History is important
So is proper capitalization...
Lol lame
“The Last One Alive” is the first anthemic track that begins another thread weaved through the album of asking if “I’m the only one still standing in this extreme faith/trust/hope.” The song begins by asking, “Does anyone still try? Does anyone still hope to set their eyes beyond this place where angels fall and darkness reigns, where time dissolves the brightest flames?” The song brings a heavy charge against a world who allows the troubles and times to choke the light from their midst. However, it also offers a hope in/through/for the remnant as it proclaims “this is where we find the only hope within this place…” This song also features another great guitar spot that will keep purists in awe.
The beginning
That drum roll at 2:26
listening to this with good subs is amazing
This is beast.
Ryan Clark is easily one the best vocalists, and Demon Hunter is one the few bands with amazing lyrics.
Can't wait for the album.
I love the fact that, the more angelic they sound, the more demonic their style and sound becomes.
Their logo just keeps getting creepier with every album. XD Honestly, it does...
This one is softer, but DH is amazing enough to rock your socks off in track one and sing you into a peacful calm in track 2. I pray these guys continue to grow in their faith, and don't cheat their fans like As I Lay Dying did.
I'm new, how did AILD cheat their fans?
Keller Martin The lead singer came out about not being christian anymore, but they continued to write and sell albums to that population. After he started a side band, people confronted him about be "a satanist" and all he could say was "no, I'm not." Then he was sentenced to 6 years in prison for attempted murder and conspiracy on his wife. Crazy stuff.

I knew about the murder thing, and since it was only the lead singer, I thought the band "might" be Christian...I never took them as Christian like i do Abr
the lead singer also made comments about how he was not the first to loose their faith. he didnt say all the band mates had, but some

As I Lay Dying was one of my favorite metal bands. And then the whole murder conspiracy thing came out and I was like, "oh man." But I was interested and followed the stories intently. Then I came across the news story of Tim Lambesis's email to his wife renouncing his faith and I lost all interest in the band. It saddened me that someone would do that.
From a Christian perspective, I think this song is talking about the world and how hard it is for Christians to live the lives that we should...Its about how soo many have fallen away and lost their faith...But Ryan is saying that its better that he stay alive and cling unto what he believes, because he has a hope that theres more than all of this...This world is only for now...That we have a hope in Christ, and if we Hold on to Him with everything we have and believe in Him, when we will go to a place where there would be no more hurt, or pain, or suffering and that place is with Christ Himself...We won't be souls denied...and even if we don't die...We can be taken up (ascend) when Jesus comes back for us who believe in Him (the rapture).
!
Because "he" is a made up concept for small minded people to be lead falsely down a path that encourages false righteousness and denies the true nature of man; you should free yourself of the psychic vampires of the church and embrace yourself as man, the ruler of your life and answerable to no "god" or "lord".
@@darkdragon7952 I'm a Christian but I don't go to church
@@darkdragon7952 yeah, try to live like that and see how fulfulling your life truly gets.
Stop fooling yourself, you can't be master of your own life. We can't make even a single strand of hair white or black, don't fool yourself thinking that just because we have little power over daily chores, we can be more than we are by ourselves
I believe he is singing about how bad it is to be denied at judgement by the Lord, "On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." JESUS CHRIST Matthew 7 22 and 23...I believe hes singing about how horrible it would be to hear that and that its better to be living forever on earth than to ever hear that...Love this song because its so true, it really would be better to be the last human alive than a soul denied by the Lord.
Compleeeeetely off-topic, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people only hear one particular line of the song and automatically assume "This would be PERFECT for (Insert series they like here) just because of the words "Last One Alive". Yes, it's a good song, and yes, that's the title, but the meaning of the song will often have absolutely nothing to do with what people think it fits. In fact, sometimes it's the opposite.
Not just this song either, it's all too common with pretty much every song these days.
Rant over, enjoy the music.
He is risen.
Was searching for that one song for months which had that feel of putting me in a trance and make me imagine a full on battle between humans and zombies with it as the soundtrack/battle symphony.Didn't find it until this song.Thank you Demon Hunter.
Awesome lyrics! cant wait for Extremist.
Easily one of the greatest chorus I've heard for a while.
i have been looking for christian heavy metal for a very long time. i honestly don't think i'll be the same after this.
LONG LIVE JESUS CHRIST!!
that's metalcore
Give fit for a king a listen. Or if its too heavy, listen to wolves at the gate
if you want something really heavy, check out Mortification or Impending Doom
obligatory poot skillet is also a great group. You should check them out
@@thekillianwilson so when you die you just return to the dirt...what a pitiful future you think you have
Front row for their Seattle gig last night! Such an amazing set, this is a band that just keeps getting better every year!!!
I cannot believe how amazing this album is going to be... I loved True Defiance with all my heart I never skip any songs from it. I can tell right now that Extremist is going to be another amazing album by DH. I cannot wait to get my copy.. GONNA blast it! GO DEMON HUNTER! BEST christian metal band EVER!
Lyrics
Did anyone survive?
I swear I heard your voice beyond this side
Does anyone still try?
Does anyone still hope to set their eyes beyond this place?
Where angels fall and darkness reigns
Where time dissolves the brightest flame
Ever the same
Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied
So this is how we break
And this is where we find the only hope within this place
Where angels fall and darkness reigns
Where time dissolves the brightest flame
Ever the same
Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied
Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied
Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied (Soul denied)
I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied
Whenever I'm having a great day, I listen to this song.
They should play this when you're the only survivor in Killing Floor 2.
1odie2 dude fucking yes
Agreed!
Actually funny thing is the guitar player does
too weak
YEEEEESSSS
This is by far one of the best DH songs I've ever heard if not one of the best songs I've ever heard period. Absolute perfection!
I heard this song back in 2020 and now that guitar riff is nostalgic
Damn I didn't know Demon Hunter had a battle royale mode
One Music Perfect! Congratulations Demon Hunter! 💀🤘🎸🇧🇷
When youre playing DnD as a paladin and you just have demon hunter music playing in your head
Demon Hunter was the first band that got me into Metal, and every two years I am always looking forward to what they put out. Extremist please come faster!!
Such a powerful voice, amazing.
Its a Christian Rock Band not a Satanic Band. There is actually a lot of Christian Rock Bands I like listening to.
I love God, I love my family/friends, I love my country, and I love Demon Hunter!!!
I like his deep voice :)
And I love this song
I'm a new fan!!!!
Any song suggestions?
+Jessica Kr try fading away song and not ready to die
I am a stone ;)
+Jessica Krogh Undying or basically any of the album "The Tryptych"
let me guess, u discover this in one of andy biersack's interview.. right?
+Custo_Ibanez lol yes I did :)
This is soo awesome, I cant wait to see them in concert again
Missing demon hunter right now. Saw them live in Oct and they played this among a really good set list,was good to see them finally for my first time. They said they would not be quitting and had no plans to. Just wish they would tour more, however I understand they have families and work, which honestly surprises me they still keep DH alive, but were happy for whatever they give us.
sou brasileiro e considero essa, a melhor canção deles 💟
Descobri a banda em 2020 e desde então tá sempre em minhas playlists. Incrível! 🎶❤
tem umas boas novas agr.
“Or ascend before my time”
The time is coming brothers and sisters, He who calls out in the wilderness, Abba, Father! He is coming SOON to collect His church, and then the tribulation. Have faith for our glorious hope! Praise Jesus name above all!!
Nah
Level the way for the lord.
What does it mean to be Christian? What do you seek? What do you stand for? Who do you defend and protect with every drop of essence in your being. We are but vessels. The holy spirit is alive in all of us and we are waking up.
This bands drummer is one of the best I have ever heard.
Right! RADIO 77 (We think so too:)
can't believe I just stumbled upon such an epic band...need to start listening to this kind of music
For some reason this makes me think of being a firefighter on 9/11 and being buried underneath rubble where the World Trade Center came down, and I'm the only known survivor . A "place where darkness reigns and fire appears beneath"
+Guny Fuentes pretty sure he is making fun of 9-11 conspiracy theorists lol
+Sigs the indomitable Who says anything about melting? Think of a stick of butter, getting softer the hotter it gets...
+Sigs the Nihilist Fueled jets can't steal melted beams
Saludos de COLOMBIA ^^
People who have a prob with Demon Hunter should not judge because Christians dont Judge and Demon Hunter is not Satanic they are one of the best Christian bands ever!!! GOOO DEMON HUNTER!!!!!!!
lol, Christians don't judge...
You saying Christians don't judge is like calling me skinny it just isn't true lol
+Christian Graham Every religion doesn't have a Jesus or believe someone died for them.Seeing that there isn't proof of anything of Jesus existence other than a book.....well...........
+DestroyerAMV Maybe you should look deeper. You'll feel God everywhere when you do. Jesus speaks to you just listen close.
Conoly Coaster Designs I've been listening close my whole life ain't shit there yo lol and feel??? describe the feeling? Or is it like the holy ghost?
I can not properly describe just how much I love this.
