I've read a lot of the comments about Isaac Brock's lyrics on this website, and I've noticed that a lot of people seem to think that Isaac is a Christian and that he writes Christian lyrics. I just wanted to point out that although Isaac was raised in a Christian household, he is an atheist, and has referred to the Bible as "a crock of shit" in the past. I just wanted to get that out there. It's good that you're interpreting the lyrics and applying some really good thoughts to them, but you shouldn't project your own beliefs onto another person's.
That may be true, but Brock is still fucking ignorant. He's a man.

O: Do you still consider yourself an atheist?

IB: "Pretty much, but there are things that make me think. Like that guy who played Jesus [Jim Caviezel] getting hit by lightning during the filming of that movie? That just makes you think, "I can't be 100 percent sure." But I'm not going to change my game plan anyway.

I'm 100 percent on the whole Christianity thing being a crock of shit, pretty much, but I don't give a fuck if other people are religious. Believe what you want. Whatever makes the day easier for you."
In other words, he acknowledges his ignorance, and rejects the fiasco that many people have turned religion and spirituality into, but he's still open minded enough to consider divine things. I think his music reflects that, and just saying "OH IM AN ATHEIST" is just another way of saying "I'm just ignorant of these things and lack faith and conviction in divine virtue because I'm blinded by the hypocrites of religion and think that's what they are and I want nothing to do with it".
How do I know? Because I used to walk around proudly labeling myself an agnostic atheist until I realized how fucking stupid it was to do so.
