"Neil Young: God's Prophet?"

Neil Young: God's Prophet?

 

Today is Easter 2026.

So something a little different today, a sermon titled "Neil Young: God's Prophet?". From the video's description: 

"Can you see God's love, beauty and truth as it's found in the life and music of Neil Young?"

Neil Young's relationship with religion over the decades has evolved, yet his beliefs remain relatively private and personal despite many songs directly referencing the subject.

Here is a comment that appeared on our 2023 post Inside Neil Young's Faith: An Old Man Takes A Look At Young's Religion by Dan:

I feel that Neil is a very spiritual man who clearly doesn’t follow organized religion. 

For me personally, most organized religion has one major flaw….. it’s run by humans. We humans have egos that are apparently difficult to control, which in turn seems to be our Achilles heel. 

The ego convinces us that if we believe we are right, then everyone else must be wrong. Resulting in war, famine, pestilence, and suffering. We use religion as a weapon, and those who have power ultimately give faith a bad name. Those without faith blame God instead of the people in power who use ‘their’ God as a weapon. 

I have a deep faith in something too big for us humans to comprehend, and whatever it is….it has allowed us free will. What we choose to use that free will is a personal choice. I choose to use it for love, peace, and understanding. 

Kindness is one of the most powerful qualities we have, and it costs nothing to give, or receive.

Kindness towards others who are different from me. I don’t buy into the idea that America is the greatest country in the world, and everyone else should be like us. 

We need to start celebrating our differences around the world instead of fearing them. This planet is the only place in the universe where we all can live, and if there is other life in the universe, we haven’t found it yet. 

So we need to get over ourselves and start thinking about survival, instead of killing each other over religion. 

Time is running out, and if we can’t find a way to get along, then we’re doomed to keep repeating our mistakes, mistakes that we’ve been making throughout history.

Don’t Forget Love

Peace 🙏

Thanks for the comment Dan! Just so you know, we do miss your comments here @ TW.  Hope things are OK.
