Ed's spirituality, And yours. Options

[Godiva]

I know I'm a nOOb, but this issue is one of the reasons I remain at least somewhat interested in Live's music and visionary nature... and I was wondering what the general attitude of posters on this board is regarding such matters.

I don't know a whole lot about what Ed subscribes to, I am more of an atheist-leaning agnostic. However, I find Ed's outlook on life refreshing... if one is to be a theist, then his kind of theism is the kind I can relate to and the kind I think can actually do some good in the world.

What about you guys? Have Live's songs connected with your spirit? Influenced your belief? What are your tendencies in things of a metaphysical nature?

I left Christianity in my early years of college. I found Live's older music extremely helpful to me during that time in my life (even though no one was playing those songs on the radio anymore).

See I think that is good, no one should put up fences between beliefs and thoughts about religion and such. People should have their opinions but as soon as someone refrains from discussion or thinking they become the people who turn everyone else away from them, as they have chosen ignorance instead of continued insight and glimpses into people outside of themselves.

Indeed. I love Indiana Jones, BTW...

I was raised Catholic and I never dared to put things in question.
I was affraid to get insecure and to loose my believe if I put things in question, until I heard the album "The Distance to here".

I have learned that it is no big deal to have questions and to be not sure about things.
It was a long and confusing way to learn that.

I heard "The distance to here" on a moment that I was disappointed in the world, in humanity and (even worse) in the way I dealed with everything!
I learned that the world and people still can be beautiful if we do our best for it!
Live stimulates me to do the best I can to make the world a little better for as far I can.

So I can say that Ed's Lyrics and Live's music is a big inspiration for me.

And I think that people who reject Live are affraid of the confusion and the insecurety they might feel while they listen.

But they don't know what they are missing.
