    religion does not equate god

    True

    Just for the record, I don't believe in God and I feel that believing in God is stupid. It's a false hope.

    ooops, am I allowed to say that?

    Becaue it doesn't exist. Hoping for something that doesn't exist would be a false hope. Again this is just MY opinion. I'm not going to get in to the whole religious discussion here. It never ends up well and there are always going to be grey areas and people not agreeing.

    That's where our opinion differs. To me religion is stupid. All forms of it. You on the other hand may feel differently about it. I don't care if he believes in God either, but he has the right to voice his opinion on the subject just like you and I do.

    God and religion are two different things, but i won't get into that. bottom line, he was making a mockery of God. whether people "get it" or not, it's disrespectful to people who believe in God. you're right, he has the right to voice his opinion. my main reason for posting in this thread was to express that it isn't stupid for some people. am i going to boycott pearl jam or make a big deal about it? no.
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    this was not at a pearl jam concert, I won't say the band's name: I left a concert due to the drummer making fun of God....a fake prayer with the F word in it.

    This, after seeing partial frontal female nudity, sickened me.

    ha ha ha! I had an Osmond 45 in the sixth grade. No I'll admit who it was, it was Tommy Lee. My hubby liked MC in high school and we went two years ago.
    Their music is much better than their singing. The prayer rubbed me the wrong way and it was about 100 degrees too.

    when it comes to God and something you hold dear to you, it's not stupid. i'm sure if i said something disrespectful to eddie about his daughter he wouldn't appreciate it either. whether he believes in God or not i don't really care. just have respect to some of your fans who do believe. that's all.


    How is he disrespecting you buy saying he doesnt believe what you believe in? If you believe in god, nothing anyone says should effect that or upset you.

    I dont understand fans who get mad about anything eddie says on stage, whether its god or war. Its part of the experience and if you're a fan you should know that. dont like it, buy a bootleg and fast forward.

    It's like me willingly going to chuch and then complaining that they were talking about god the whole time.

    here's a tip...when you're going to see a band who has an album entitled "shout at the devil" don't be shocked if there might be some religious shenanigans....:D:D

    he said because of the war i don't believe in god
    then they played marker
    then mike screwed up the opening
    then ed said hope that wasn't an act of god
    then mike said I wrote it and i cant remember it
    then they started marker again

    y would this start a ruckus?
    so he doesn't believe in god, ok, keep writing good songs and singing them wonderfully and having great shows

    yay!


    I can't speak for him, by all means, and I say that as a disclaimer to this next comment, to say that I do not know if this is the truth for him, but for me, I have expereinced this..........

    There have been times when I have not gone as far as to not believe in Him, but have clearly wondered if He believed in me, when my life was going to shit (I thought) and I did not feel that He really cared.
    Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on The Creek......


    Together we will float like angels.........

    In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........

    it doesn't affect me and i'm not upset. like someone else said, i'm not going to get into it because these threads never go anywhere. i don't know what the other thread was about, but i simply wanted to state that it's not dumb or stupid to some people. period.
