No matter if you have religious faith, or none...
I heartily recommend you watch this incredible video of the Hallelujah Chorus that was made by a small Inuit village in Alaska.

Here's the description that came with it:


AN ESKIMO WONDER

Done like you've never seen before. This video from the small Yupiq

Eskimo Village of Quinhagak, Alaska , was a school computer project intended

for the other Yupiq villages in the area. Much to the villagers' shock, over

a half million people have viewed it.

13. a school project? A public school project?
ru-oh.

Let's hope the ACLU does not see this video.

or the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

That was quite awesome.

Just one quibble for the school kid's.

Its "king of kings" and Lord of Lords"

not "king of king's" and "Lord of Lord's"

plural, not possessive.

n.b. Bonus point's, of course, if you can spot my four errers.

15. Well, it was clearly not purely a school project as it included
the entire fricken town, not just the school. And it was not in class time, but clearly extracurricular.

No harm, no foul.

And as a rather militant atheist, I say it's really cool. A lot of fun with great music.

18. As another atheist,
I second the motion.

It's great music, regardless of what we believe or don't believe.

The video reminds me of a scene in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life".
