Do they believe in God?

Wow, not really the greatest exchange of words ever, was it?

Thanks for the info, Thomasquinn. While I'm not fond of religious texts, thank you for pointing out more inconsistencies with modern translations, and piquing my interest in such things again. (If only for knowledge to defend myself against groups professing to be "this" or "that" flock and not adhering to said tenets) I figure people ought to invoke such things as a basis for "righting" the wrong about said tenets. If only there was some way we could use the brains of Spock and Captain Kirk to foil the ignorance of the Red State USA with regards to laws, religion, environment etc that invoked the bible.. since they disgustingly wave that thing around all the time.


As for whether the band believe in any higher power, who knows?

I feel like the two still performing "want to believe" and do so so much that it becomes a quality of their work. Not simply Brian's phrase "Adam's a gift from God" (which he capitalizes) but in references to (us), "We're all God's people". (it's been used in social media not relating to the song specifically). Also Brian's insistence upon and admiration of studying the cosmos. I feel he's smart enough to know that we may not entirely comprehend things as they are, nor a nexus point. Yet his admiration of creatures great and small, phenomena, and consideration for animals and somewhat for the environment (Exactly how much time CAN someone devote to numerous causes while being 72 and touring?) shows a man concerned either with the well being of "humanity" (i.e. people with compassion) as opposed to the lot of the rest. However much of this is debatable to nature vs nurture environmental causes, who's to say (i.e. a broke ass person in another country who repeatedly kills endangered animals for $, while their country also plunders the tax coffers for its own elected bodies... who knows) - who's to say whether his decision to be a good person is geared in his surroundings and good success and wishing the world to reflect that.. .or whether its geared toward selfless goals.

Anyways.. I found this looking for the GOING SLIGHTLY MAD parody.... this was an interesting thread.

2) Your remarks are so ungrammatical, incoherent and just plain stupid (atheists really believe in god, and all that crap) that I have a hard time believing you are not mentally ill and/or extremely intoxicated.

Sorry for reviving a six week old revival. It's a fair topic though


Bizarre that that jrowe fellow thought there was "only one God" who was essentially Jesus Christ and that no one could believe in any other as any professed idea. Or else they didn't believe in any God.
personally one of my earliest hurdles was... wait wait wait. .."what about the other family members before (an "oath ") or what about my heritage of people from before white dudes came around here across the sea?

U mean they all went to hell?


Ah but. ..u know, just those foolish ideas you have when you're 6 after saying prayers sharing a room with ur older brother.

Observation: You can't judge a song mentioning 'god' or religion as signifying the views of the writer. It's merely plot a device. Shorthand.

Fear not! I cometh to tell you the truth.

„Dear God, all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting in the street, cause they can't make opinions meet about God.“

(Andy Partridge/XTC)

He also wrote Helicopter about fancying a lady in a Lego helicopter so I rest my case.

Agreed.

That’s like saying James Gandolfini was actually a mobster because of a character he portrayed as Tony Soprano or that because Glenn Danzig from the Misfits sings “Skulls” he actually wants to hang skulls on his wall.

Just all part of being an artist of any kind, any subject that interests you is fair game for your material. Doesn’t mean you actually believe in it.

When you talk about Freddie Mercury was born of the zoroastrian religion which I read up on it and to me it's really foolish. Freddy never mentioned anything about God just singing a song about God doesn't mean that you believe in him or her singing a song about the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't mean that you believe in him. In order to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you have to be baptized in him and dedicate your life and put your faith in him and know that he was your savior that died on the cross for you Freddie Mercury didn't even ponder that he didn't even think about Christianity by any means.
