Tool & APC, what's Maynard's real thoughts on Christianity?

[Mason209]

Now, I'm a big Tool and APC fan (have all 7 of their albums combined, all their music videos, a lot of covers, ect...). Now, I know that they've made several "blasphemous" songs, Opiate, Eulogy, Judith (APC), Weak and Powerless (APC), and I thought for sure that Maynard wasn't a big fan of Christianity. But, then I listened to the lyrics in Thomas (APC), and started to wonder, what does Maynard actually think of Christian theology?

So what do ya'll think? What is his meaning for Thomas?

For some stupid reason, I can't post links....

But, if you want the lyrics, just go to lyrics.com. APC is under "P", Tool is under, well, you know.

well he did grow up in the baptist church..... well....... i could go on with his bio but it is easier to insert a link.. people often misjudge others based upon their actions.... for all you know keenan could be a devout christian but he never shows it just to make you think that he isn't( i could see him doing that). because that type of label (at least for a person in the secular music world) is very degrading. i just think this is a ploy to keep you guessing as to what he really thinks and to what he truly believes. it is a possibility that he could want to reconcile with god but i highly doubt that is the case. to me maynard is such a deep minded person with such abstract intelligence that not too many people are able to relate to him. i think he hates labels and this is one of those ploys to avoid being labeled as an satanist or a christian or whatever..... those are my thoughts.

The link did not say that he grew up in a Baptist church. It said that he was born to a "baptist family" which doesn't mean a thing. Listen to "Sober"...Maynard is not a christian.

Heil Maynard and his fight against christianity!

maynard's number one priority, IMO, is to NOT CONFORM to ANYTHING... christianity, satanism, anything.
