Br. TJ recently pointed out the spiritual dimension of the great comedian Louis CK. It reminded me of this video of Louis CK on the nature of God through the story of Abraham and Isaac (known in Judaism as the Akedah). Warning: NSFW.
--
Bonus: Any mention of Abraham, brings us of course to Dylan's classic, Highway 61 Revisited.
