Mightyquinn, just because a band is hard and heavy does not mean Jesus can't come into the equation. The Bible is probably the heaviest piece of writing ever concieved, dealing with issues such as the ETERNAL SALVATION OF HUMANITY. Heavy subject matter... Anyway, Black Sabbath were not Christian, yet their song After Forever deals with the worlds denial of Jesus and redemption in a negative light. It seems in Bridges Burning, the Foos have taken a leaf out of the Black Sabbath book. Society is burning the bridges between itself and God, and some of the imagery in this song, such as the "test of faith" and "king of second chances" suggest that this is what the song is about. Even if the Foos aren't Christian. Brilliant stuff.
I agree here and disagree with the previous post. I don't think I have ever heard one of their songs that trashes anyone's faith, including Christianity. If anything, a lot of their songs are very spiritual. Wheter Dave curses his ass off at cocnert, drinks whiskey, and might have smoked a bowl or two has nothing to do with whether he belives in God, is a Christain, or is spiritual, despite everyone wanting to label people of faith as hypocrites if their behavior does not accord with the critic's view of how they are supposed to act, etc....

Sounds pretty direct to me. He also talks about angels in that song.

You know what I don't go to church on a sunday or nothin' but I would have to agree with you for the best part.

@generatorparty Hines, it's "new revolution" and right. Secular music can certainly be spiritual. Just look at "Light My Way" by Audioslave.
