So i went into a Voodoo store in New Orleans yesterday, and they had a bunch of catholic stuff next to all of the Voodoo, Magic, and Wiccan stuff. Like Candles and statues of the saints, right next to Buddha, and the false idols of the different pagan religions.

I think thats funny.

Tom Gabel from Against Me!

"Bombing skies will sing silent and the anger turn to laughter. On the crucifix Christ will turn his head and admit his own sin he was a martyr for."

" Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me? Why Jesus never called on me to part the f***ing seas? Why death is easier than living? You can be almost anything. When you're on your f***ing knees."

"It's got me on my knees in a bathroom, Praying to a God that I don't even believe in, "Well, dear Jesus, are you listening? If this is the one chance that really matters, Well, don't let me f*** this up. If you'd told me about all this when I was fifteen, I never would have believed it."

So I met the Singer from this band again and it was a big deal for me. I used to be a Huge Against Me! fan and coming to Christ it was hard to phase their music out(not that secular music is a sin) when I came to Christ. These lyrics deeply disturb me so I wanted to ask him a few Questions about Religion and Spirituality, and his background. He comes from a Catholic background and quote "had a bad experience in the church." I would have apologized for the sins of the church but I don't believe that the Catholic Church is still included into "the Church" which is the body of Christ. Like if he had a bad experience in a pentecostal or baptist church i would have been like "man sorry we dropped the ball on that."

"I had a bad church experience"
