I love the way the music shifts along different genres. Techno, celtic, orchestral, african chorus/chant, far eastern.

The message is also beautiful. That life itself is precious, not something to be thrown away for a sterile or violent preparation of an afterlife that may not exist. Too many puritan/fundamentalist religons today tell people to spend their entire lives not really living at all, doing penance for a sin they did not commit, simply for a chance to get inside the seemingly very exclusive heaven.

Instead of spending their lives trying to make everyone and themselves happy, they instead waste it away. And more often than not infect other people as well with their misery. Martyrdom, sacrifice, enforced celibacy, executions, wars... A lot of them end up being the angry old people who have realized too late that they have never really been happy even for a single moment in their entire lives.
