hey guys, this is from "New Metal Crown" a biography about soundgarden. Chris talked about how this song is so often construed as anti-religion or anti-anything in particular, quite the contrary. ironically enough the song is about pressing any belief on any person in particular too fiercely, "'Holy Water' is just more of a poetic way of saying i don't appreciate having anybody's ideas thrust upon me like their baggage... [it] is going to be taken, literally as religion. But it isn't; it's anything. Vegetarianism or political ideas, or any kind of idea. new age-ism, anything. I think when people offer you these things, especially if they offer it to you aggressively, then they're assuming that you're confused and unhappy. But to me, that's insulting. And that's what the song is based on. ism-ism"

perfect. thought i was all alone for thinking that no matter your stance, it's always rude to treat the other person as ignorant or unhappy just because they don't necessarily "believe" your side of the argument. thanks Chris

@Dylan6998 yeah. this is an issue forsure. As a mystic myself who has a lot of spiritual knowledge and is connected to the universe in many ways many other mortal humans are not - there are many spiritual energies...that are at best, subtle to most people - but very very collossal to others. When I first started getting into spiritual stuff and I got really excited about it and wanted to talk about it with literally anyone who would listen just to throw ideas around and hear other opinions and try and find people who might also have similar interests...
