IS IT TRUE?

[BreathingShadow]

i heard during the recording process of ghost reveries one of the employees at the recording studio read The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren to mikael and peter and they are now christians... i read it in a christian article about metal music

 

[scorpian007]

False.

Their religious affliliation is irrelevant. Nobody cares.

 

[Detric]

I do, are they atheists?

 

[The Fallen One84]

I heard that from somebody too. It must be true. Satan wouldn't be able to give them that much talent. Only God has that kinda ability.

but their religious affliliation could have an effect on Opeth's music and lyricsa. They might even lose the true Opeth sound.

That's not what this thread is about.

 

[BreathingShadow]

the purpose driven life is the most selling christian book besides the bible so it is possible

 

[Detric]

I still want to know.

That is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read all year.

I won't get into your personal beliefs, but Talent has also been discussed here. God has nothing to do with it...a person's own hardwork and desire is what helps one become "talented"

The entire band have been passionate about music since their early teens, and have devoted themselves completely to it. God has nothing to do with it.

It's like hearing those morons after they win a super bowl, "I'd like to thank god for his blessing..yadda yadda." , nope you idiot, god had nothign to do with busting your ass at practice the last 3/4's of a year and for your team's superior game plan.

I'm not saying God doesnt' exist, I'm just saying he gets too much damned credit.


ok, I'm saying I don't believe in him. I don't care what you guys think. Just know that I htink whatever you think is dumb.

^ I think you've misunderstood. You shouldn't take things so literally.

 

[the_drip]

lol. Whatever.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

it really shocks me that someone took this seriously

 

[Profanity]

Why?

Everyone here is intelligent, i'd only expect intelligent threads.

 

[Detric]

Are Opeth athieists?

 

[the_drip]

There have been religious/anti-religious threads that were quite serious in the past. There's no reason why anyone should think that this was a joke thread, there's no hints that it is until profanity posted. Which immediately renders any thread a joke.

He's that powerful.

Are Opeth athieists?

I don' tthink they've ever really specified their beliefs. Tr00 rockstars don't have the time to waste ona congregation though. So I'd imagine they're not too religious/spiritual.

 

[Profanity]

but bands with such strong beliefs are what some genres are all about (e.g black metal)

Are Opeth athieists?

you already asked that question.
