just to back up what I said earlier..Chris Simpson said this in an inverview:
“I’ve definitely decided that I don’t believe the things I’m supposedly supposed to believe to go around calling myself a Christian – not that I don’t believe any of it – it’s just something I’m not really comfortable with (identifying) who I am. I’m constantly meeting people who are drawn to that aspect of Mineral and to some degree – the Gloria Record. It’s almost like I end up feeling bad because there are a lot of Christian kids out there who were very influenced by Mineral and the lyrics. They feel like I was trying to be some sort of flag-bearer for Christianity by writing that way, which was never my intention."
there you have it. take these songs however you want, but just keep that in mind.
