The video can be seen throughout the Internet, which is how
I was able to view it and decide for myself why it was not-worthy
of MTV’s high standards. (Sarcasism)
I fell in love with both the song and the video, and I did
not feel threatened by any 9-11 flashback.
It is based on the book of Job, with God testing man’s
faith through a series of catastrophic events.
Disturb’s lead vocalist, David Draiman said he wrote the
song in particular about the clergy’s reaction to 9-11.
"Instead of consoling their flock, people like Jerry
Falwell and Oral Roberts chastised them and used the situation
as a means of empowerment, saying it was our own fault because
we're a decadent and promiscuous people. I just thought that
whole notion is ridiculous."
Draiman goes on to say:

"It's not very godly for a God to inflict pain and
suffering on his people to elicit a response. I would hope that
God wouldn't be that petty. But if that's what is happening
and you're inflicting pain and suffering to get me to return
[to the flock], bring it on. There's nothing that you're going
to do to me that's going to change my conviction or change my
path."
Pretty Powerful stuff –- and so is the video.
Please watch it and decide for yourself. If you agree it should
be aired and not shelved for the sake of 9-11 write to MTV and
tell them.
It is time to let go and move on.
