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.
Most close-minded comment I've ever heard.

You've lumped religion into one category; notwithstanding the essence of the source of all religion is peaceful. It is the people that are so-called followers of these religions that choose to kill, destroy, and display monstrosities in God's name. Supporting the people that enact these horrors doesn't entail a support of their beliefs.
