I think a lot of confusion comes when people try to set stance for them. When you are dealing with religion for instance you have to see and handle various sides of it - both the good and the bad. And with these bits of information the listener can do whatever he wants.

I still believe TOOL's message is; don't let religion explain the unexplainable for you.

In other words; things as "it was God's will" is just a way of saying "i don't know what happened but i need to have a quick answer for this to comfort my mind".




- "My mom died at the age of 55.... :("

- "Hey, God needed her to be with him"

- "O.K. then :)"


^^^^^^
BULLSHIT!

This pretty much is the cause, i guess. LOL

Don't worry. Everyone who's new here will get their ass kicked from time to time. Stay stubborn and hang in there. They'll get used to your presence. I didn't make the rules but things are working like that around here.

Enjoy your stay, though ;)
