Hi AzA... yes. It has been awhile! I like this idea a lot--that scripture is just a guide, an assistant in one's path to the Divine. Right, right--it was the same process for the Tanakh. Why I question, however, the construction of the NT is its time period. I think historically there was...

Hello brothers and sisters. Some background--I grew up in a moderate Seventh Day Adventist home; yet as an adult there are some things I've been questioning with the Bible, SDA, and especially Christianity as a movement. I am not going to go deeply into any of these issues--they are broad...

Hello brothers and sisters. I have been a seeker as of late on my spiritual quest. I grew up mostly in a rather moderate Seventh Day Adventist environment. A faith, as an adult, I have questioned and have had trouble alining myself with. At any rate, I also have numerous questions and issues...

I'd like to give a simple answer, but there isn't one. I think we can co-exist. At least, it is an ideal we should strive for. Even the impossible should be set as a goal, for it pushes us to better our own condition. With that said, religion has been the cause of some of the greatest conflicts...

this place is dead--that's why I'm not here very much anymore. But I might respond to an older post by holyrockr--actually all of the members are reasonably outspoken about their faith. Adam Clayton has become especially so in the last few years. Initially he was the charachter people questioned...

I will say that Underoath remains one of the few decent alt/screamo-ish sort of bands out there today. In my "metal" phase, these guys were my favorite. I think that was every scene kid when They're Only chasing safety came out. With that in mind, Underoath is one of the few bands I still...

well actually I'm not looking for someone to play it... just for someone to read it and partake of the emotion. I am slowly working on music for it, just waiting till the right idea comes along. My project is the velcro leaves (mypace.com / thevelcroleaves) and we do experimental/indie... and...

"Sombody's watching me?" No :D! I am not so sure I catch the pun, though--what do you mean? much peace

Whow... I like the style and the seemless flow. It has a whimsical, childish flow--in a good way! Yet I notice some dark undertones. Message me the myspace, or check out my project at myspace [dot] com/thevelcroleaves and add us. You have a talent. much peace, jonathan

Thanks trt for the nice remarks. For wslctrc, these have a darker undertone, yes. And your confusion seems to partially arrise from the surreal images the piece utlizes--and that is intended. This piece deals with the concept of abuse and personal, emotional neglect. It is purposefully...

I'm glad you enjoyed it--I thought the production was fine. The lyrics were just so mild in comparison to what Peter is capable of. I am not saying the initial theme is terrible, but I found it kind of cliche and sort of overused--especially the chorus. He is a creative writer, he can think of...

mmm seabird... can't wait for Purple Door

I used to be a newsboys fan in that, while lyrically there wasn't too much there sometimes, they were forward thinking in the dilluted world of "christian music." Their use of electronics and power pop served to make music that was less youth groupy (minus a few "anthems") and more music...

Showgaze kind of emerged in the mid-80s and was quite big in the 90s alt/indie scene... and seems to be still active today. The problem is that the term is thrown about so much anymore, that I often question whether it is a genre at this point. It seems to have been engulfed into different...

...and creationism is proven beyond the point of reasonable doubt. Yes, same old story. There will always be the believers and doubters on both sides... that is the way it has been and it doesn't seem it will change anytime soon. much peace

Sir, you have made a good point about the religious right. Will we ever understand them? Probably not. Their doctrines are twisted "truths" laid out by the Bush dynasty's policies more so than the earth shattering, revolutionary concepts of the Bible. much peace

I'm not going to get tangled into the arguments here--simply note a fact. I know a fellow musician friend who attends a universalist church on occasion. While certain points I do disagree with him on, he almost makes me feel guilty. He is so accepting of others. He listens, then he discusses. He...

I think my anticipations are very high, perhaps. I want someone that likes going against the grain and their whole life is modeled around that. But also a personality. Not conservative. Open minded. Likes to discuss, but also to laugh. A bit of a femanist. Someone who will get upset when I use...

I'm currently compiling a list of sins involved in people's everyday lives... I plan on creating a book that includes activities we shouldn't be involved in. If you are familiar with any such activities, those in your church or family or the "world," please forward them to me. Alcohol, illegal...

Hey friends, I'm not trying to spam anyone, but for those of you who remember my indie/experimental project--you may be interested in a lo-fi, synthy, neofolk EP we put out for free. You can pay what you want--including nothing. This release really is far from our usual sound and draws many...
