It never ceases to amaze me how people so gifted in some areas can so mispercieve reality and the meaning of life.

Perhaps Keenan hasn't changed his stance and is simply using it as imagery. However, if he has, I can't support Tool or APC from this point on. I will always love his work up until now, and listen to all the previous APC and Tool albums as fervently as I always have--but I can't support his future efforts. I can't support someone who supports the cause of more deaths than anything else in human history--religion.

oh and to actaully reply to the post. Maynard isnt a more talented musician than Trent. Trent plays all the instruments on his albums (or at least used to) and does a bit of production (he has a band that play live only).
I dont think that MJK has embraced religion.
