For God's sake (ha! irony!) will someone please explain this to me? Tonight I saw a car covered with fundamentalist Christian bumper stickers and, in the middle of the rear window, a huge Nine Inch Nails logo.

It was in a parking lot and I was on foot, so I was able to examine the car closely. At first I thought it had to a be a fundie parody of the NIN logo (like "God's Gym" instead of "Gold's Gym", etc.) to fit in with "Abortion Stops A Beating Heart", "In Case of Rapture This Car Will Be Unoccupied", "1 Man + 2 Nails = 4 Ever" and other such stickers that were in evidence. But it wasn't... it was the real deal.

What does this mean? Did Trent become born-again when I wasn't looking?

Trent is not for any organized religion.

Maybe the kids slapped that on the parents car while they weren't looking. Hmmm. Odd.

Give me a break. NIN is obviously the Devil's work. Responsible for school shootings by black-trenchcoat-wearing Satan-obsessed Goth kids. Hell, they've been condemned by the 700 Club. I'm too lazy to Google for web pages listing them among the bands that should tip you off that you need to have a serious talk with Junior and bring him back to the flock, but I'm sure there are kajillions of them.

NIN and Marilyn Manson share the same level of responsibility for school shootings. As do you, me, NSYNC and the Easter Bunny. smile

God is dead and noone cares.

Edit: aw, fuck. I think this stupidity requires the whole song.



he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what I put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed a god up and called it Christianity
your god is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell I will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell I will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?

obsession with symbolism. NIN fulfills gratification from shocking religious symbolism, and so I'm sure they probably are those types of X-tians that love the looks they get, and love the excuse for their shocking behavior.
Look at Fred Phelps and his group.... "God Hates Fags" isn't something that any God I know of would approve of...

Goddamned intolerant Christians, judging everyone and stereotyping people based on mere superficiliaties. Isn't that just so fucked up?

That's a kneeslapper. Your point is obvious, banal, unclever, and irrelevant. I didn't start the intolerance. They did. I think it's perfectly legitimate to draw conclusions about the character of someone who would put a sticker on their car saying, for example, "God Said It... I Believe It... That Settles It."

If you suddenly started believing in the Christian god, do you think that you'd have no choice but to become intolerant?

Look, it makes perfect sense. Christians don't think, they follow. They're fucking sheep like members of any organized religion. They're hypocrites by nature. And I've got no qualms about saying it. Get your panties in a wad if you want to. Fuck you. Go to your big multi-million-dollar churches while people starve in the streets. Outlaw porn and start wars against other equally fucked up religions. Send your missionaries to the far reaches of the world to destroy indigenous cultures.

But keep your hands off my Goddamn Rock and Roll. That's Satan's territory.

Cairo is a Christian, for the record.

People can make generalizations about Americans that're similar to ones you've made about Christians (followers, hypocrites, self-involved and apathetic towards the suffering of others, keen on imperialism), but they've wouldn't apply to you or me.

And maybe they'd get a little pissed if we claimed to enjoy parts of their culture like foreign films, music, art and tell us to stick to Michael Bay films and Big Macs.

But geez, why should anyone be able to dictate what I'm allowed to like?

Sure, noone can dictate what you like. But if you're a skinhead that happens to like rap, I wouldn't suggest advertising.
