i have a question Options

[gotigrz]

i think LIVE has the best sound out of any band that i've ever heard. with that being said.... what is ed singing about?

he sounds like he's pro-God, but maybe not so much of a Jesus fan. but, yet on his my space account he has Jesus as a hero of his.

also, in the video of selling the drama it shows ed ripping pages out of a book that, to me, looks like the Bible.

also, in the song operation spirit, he says that Jesus doesn't mean anything to him. is he saying that's the way he "was", and he's changed, or is that just the way he is?

i'm a Christian, and i can't help but let these questions run through my head. please someone enlighten me, thanks.

If you look at the major religions in this world, they have more in common then that they are different. Personaly i dont wish to believe in a god that would send me to hell or to heaven depending on whether i prayed hail marys or bowed to mekka 5 times a days. I cannot believe he would care about what seems to me, trivials things like that. It should not be about form, it should be about content. Religions differ like you differ from your next door neighbour. And as long as your content is love and not hate... i dont think he cares too much about form. And there is one thing i think everyone can agree on, ed writes about love a lot. I remember Ed saying sometime in the tdth here era, that he uses christian methaphors cus that is what people know and understand, so he uses those to get his point across. My opinion on the lyrics on sfbm: lyrics about love, though commendable, just arent as interesting as lyrics about inner or outer conflict, as trying to figure out where you are in the world. I mean its good for Ed, that he seems to have made it there, but lyrically its just not that interesting. But i really do like the album.
just my 2 cents
