Some 3.15am thoughts on religion:


Answers raise questions. One of the big turnoff's with organized religion is how sure about themselves they claim to be. Well to me at least.
Being "sure" about the spiritual is an insult towards everything.

What is there to gain? Would it be better to convince myself about the afterlife and die smiling or keep thinking about things impossible for me to grasp and live uncertain? Maybe not caring at all would be best?

Why, for the love of God are these things important?!? Why anybody would be willing to die for religion? Or to kill for one? What I'm certain of is uncertainity. We don't know. Absolutely nobody has this stuff right. There is no way. Not for the right reasons at least.

Hey guys, lets figure out the epic clean sweeps from "Ki", here's what I got:

E----------------------12----------------------------
C------------------12----14-12-11------------------
G------------9-12------------------12----------------
C---------12---------------------------14-11----------
G---9-12-------------------------------------12------
C12--------------------------------------------------

That's all I've been been able to figure out, but it's a start. I'm not exactly a "tabbing master either" so it could be completely wrong...
Add anything you figure out,
Good Luck!

As fair as I go with downloading I think I do thing the wrong way around. I buy albums of bands who I have heard are good (from trusted sources) so far it has always worked. Don't get me wrong but I not exactly flush with cash, I just end up buying waaaaay to much. But I don't mind buying. I wouldn't work for free and music is another job, they shouldn't work for free either.

As for Ki and the others I know I'm gonna end up buying all of them and the box set. I'm I bit of a completist when it come to bands I like. oh well.

Straight forward and simple: I buy from artists that need the support; the guys who go out touring non-stop and do it for the music. And Devin is my most prime example of the kind of artist who needs the support. He's the one actual artist I am willing to pull out my wallet and buy both cd's and merch. So whatever is to come, I am going to help you out, because you always make it so worth our while. Who else posts on forums so openly with their fans? It makes the support so much more personal to me.

Thanks all, it's cool to be in a group of folks who are intelligent and honest.

As far as spirituality, let me clarify:

It's the number one motivation in my life...(that and dancing with the stars)

I've had lots of epiphanies and experiences, but I'm searching. I feel what I feel but can't put my finger on it.

I know what side of the fence I'm on though.

Talk soon!

Dev

The awesome side of the fence?

I think spirituality is different to every person to be honest. I think even in the mass groupings for get of spiritual groupings, I don't think they all think the same...
Unless its like a strange hive mind...


Only a month and a half to wait now...

hey man were all in the same banana boat.. were not all rich and may never be but ever think like hey look at my family? that's wealth.. you have ppl around you.. fans who adore your music.. If I were you I would bask in the glow of admiration and knowing that these bozos would never turn you away..

that being said man I hope you nail a hit. get rich for life! then you can drive around in a jet, forget about your wealth and forget about your 'problems'.. uhhh

Dev, don't feel like you need to clarify for us. Your motivation is your motivation, sure we're all pretty interested but I'm sure we all understand from experience how difficult it can be to put forward our arguments (for want of a better word). And as long as it's driving you to do what you do best, I couldn't ask for any more.

Heaven sends seems to be the song of this topic right now.

What I hear from the lyrics is "How can heaven be so phonetic"

Not too sure if I'm right on the lyrics but from what I am hearing in my own way it's kind of like the song is asking, "How could heaven be exactly how it sounds. It's too good to be true, but does it really exist in some divine extradimentional way. Because nothing is exactly as it sounds, or looks for that matter"

Just my two cents
Not trying to interpret the lyrics too much, but thats what I'm hearing right now.

I heard fanatical but I got shot down last time so lets pretend I haven't just said this sentence....em....

Edit:I thinkfigured out a bit more.. will post tomorrow

I'm really digging coast i find myself putting it on without thinking about it lots

At one point in time, I believed that "people should just follow whatever religion they feel is best for them" (or atheism). No longer do I believe that. I don't think religion (spirituality, rather) is something to be followed, to be preached, or to be taught.

It should be something that one completely figures out on their own, in their own way. Otherwise, you're just accepting what other people tell you as truth, and that's just about the biggest deceit you can commit to yourself (in a philosophical sense). That's why I've had such a problem lately with people labelling themselves under certain religions. They're all fucking stories, and it's impossible to tell truth from one to the next.

yea, maybe religion is just a bunch of stories. so live life to the fullest!!!

but be good...JUUUUUST in case

In terms of the literal existance of anything, I am entirely unable to accept a completely arbitrary baseless concept, or to accept that other people do, sorry.
