wow, its amazing how this video seems to glorify God. like Jesus Christ that died on the cross. that the spider is illuminated with Glory and such. & how in the ending, the little bug struggles to get to God, but "fails" and how it racks focuz to the spider web pointed right at the poor bug showing God has not forgotten about him/her/it lol. naww mean?! i guess I would like the filmmakers to really tell us what there true motive was for this amazing film just so to clarify what my thoughts are. (: thankss!! (:
