Is Ed......a Christian again? Options

[Merica]

The idea of religion being involved RUINS my enjoyment of much of Live's music. You (anybody) can have the two together if they wish. I prefer not to. Stop acting like you're right, religious people. YOU'RE RUINING THINGS!!!

listen to the interviews that someone just posted a moment ago, its all explained very clearly there. Ed is not a born again christian or even a christian in the sense that the fruitcake believes, he just thinks that jesus is a top bloke and that through meditation and deep introspection humanity can achieve "oneness" and an overcomming of the ego which allows us to rest in truth and happiness which can be called god. Even most athiests like richard dawkins believe that jesus was a man that was way ahead of his time in terms of moral evolution. Thats different to believing in the literal preaching of the gospel. i.e virgin birth, resurrection etc.

"overcoming of the ego"

EddieK has a long way to go before mastering that!!

Is that you gotigrz?

Damn, even gotigrz has nothing on this nut.

Nah, Gotigrz thought that TSUFL was of the Devil lol. He said that Live's songs were all evil for the most part. He did not like the line "waiting on a rescue that never comes"

[Sonic Tonic]

Fuck it guys. We are blind. Let's just sit here and wait for the rapture.

[WTF]

i guess the fact that 75% of the music ed wrote has clear biblical references just means hes hindu, im sure you can twist it to give it an alternate explanation and the fact ed stated his heart and soul has been redeemed, rebooted and restarted by the Lord Jesus Christ is just something he said to get christian fans.

honestly ed is hindue, he follows the cow 'gods' around india and eats there poo

[Pokey]

I sense troll!

I do like how gotigrz and this dude (if he's for real) seem to think that Ed being rebooted by the lord jesus christ is somehow a massive win for them, it's like their team has just drafted a major player in trade week.
WTF you should send Ed a tweet with the flat out question "are you a Christian?" and see what your answer is.

i dont use twitter and why would i question ed's statement? its very clear just like his music.

does it make you angry that after all of these years you have found out that you have been listening to a christian message?

were you deceived?

cry me a river

[Pokey]

It doesn't make me angry because I don't think it's as black and white as you do. If anything I find it kinda amusing really, you seem to be the one taking it so seriously. There are plenty of awesome Live songs which don't scream out "I want to fellate Jesus!" so I'm all good.

[thefunkyredcaboose]

This is the most unintelligent discussion of religion I've ever seen. I do not for one second think this guy is serious.

there are plenty of non christian songs yeah, thats because ed went from being a christian to learning about other religions then back to being a christian.

the funny thing is, you are fools because you cant understand his lyrics and if you knew anything about the bible you would know a lot of ed's lyrics are from it.

now what i dont get is the anti christian attitude from you fools.

if ed was a jew, preaching judism would you be the same? i dont think you would like it but you would be too gutless to say anything because when someone says something about a jew, the jews get into hysterical fits and start screaming about "anti semitism" and wanting blood.

if ed was a muslim would you be the same? i dont think you would because muslims in general are uncivilized and have a savage ape like mentality and would want to kill you.

what if he was a hindu? you know hindu's burn people of other religions in india, they chop up what they believe are unfaithful wives (cousins) and throw them off cliffs in a 'cleansing' ritual.

but hey i forgot...the big media beatup's about a few pedo preists in the catholic church and the 'crusades' hundreds of years ago make christians bad

and btw, statistically 60% of gay adults are pedophiles so maybe you should go after them

Of course he's not serious, he's just trolling.

On the odd chance he's not trolling, he's just a moron.

Everybody interprets songs differently. This guy is a jackass. I can't stand when people come on this discussion board to spew their judgmental & close-minded views. It's usually the religious nut cases. Ya know that guy who kept that kidnapped that girl and kept her for 18 years? He was a religious nut. Only God can and should judge.

I'll interpret Live songs anyway I want to...thank you!
