    Haha my thoughts exactly! I'm a humanist (I think it's pretty improbable that there's a God especially in the traditional sense, and I'd much rather focus on being a moral human being than basing my values in religion) and concerts are my church. I've never felt more connected to a group of strangers than at the PJ Vic show during "All or None", or Eddie's "Arc" during night 2 Chicago.

    I don't think it's at all weird to be a white Christian who voted for Obama or loves Pearl Jam.
    Yeh why would that be weird?

    While watching Imagine in Cornice again last night, and seeing some of the religious imagery (when Boom was playing the organ in the chapel), I wondered how many hard core pj fans attended church regularly.

    I realize it has nothing to do with anything, but I wondered if I was in the minority.
    I go to a Baptist Church in the South weekly - I'm White & I voted for Obama, so I figure I'm pretty odd anyway.

    I'm Faithful, but nobody hears.

    I attend Church when I have to, weddings, christenings etc

    Its a personal thing, and a very strong talking point, but to me its pointless, and something that is a vain hope more than anything else. There has to be a reason that the older people get they start to turn to god more and attend church, it must be a comforting thing. Theres gotta be a reason that the majority of people in church today (I'm not trying to be ignorant here but ont he odd occasion I do get to a church in the Uk the crowds that gather are generally old) are elderly.

    Each to their own, and I would never bash someone for their beliefs, but its not for me.

    Believe me....It's not in the norm down here in the south to be white/christian/obama supporter.

    I've been told on 2 different occasions "I dont see how you call yourself a Christian and vote for Obama."

    You don't question or object to anything in the Bible (which is taken by men to be god's word)?

    Therein lies the danger of religion. It should actually be illegal to subject children to religion because they tend to believe what adults tell them.

    There is no place for logic or objective reasoning in religion. Belief in God is irrational and illogical because there is no way to objectively measure and prove either the existence or non-existence of a higher being/power/whatever. I have complete respect for people's individual belief or faith but it should be recognised as such and words like 'logic' and 'reason' should be set aside. I do recognise that faith is an incredibly powerful emotional force and is very important to many people.

    actually, reason or logic can be applied to religious belief just as well as it can be applied to anything else. while you certainly aren't going to prove the existence/nonexistence of god, it's entirely possible to have a reasoned approach to faith. it's NOT just an emotional force...

    I go to church about every day, because I play the organ and can't practice at home^^
    I only go to church on Sundays, if I have to play in the mass..


    I do not really believe in god, in fact I don't know what to believe in.. except for music :)
