I think I had this album in the CD player of my truck for a year straight. That year, my first year of college, is inseparable from this album and the zeitgeist it created. An ever-present feeling of always questioning why, challenge the status quo and seeking my own answers instead of blindly accepting those that were regurgitated to me without questions as to it's inherent validity. This is the year I started rocking the cross buster on my truck. I loved it because inevitably some Jesus freak would pull up next to me and either give me the finger or a few choice words that probably wouldn't be heard in Sunday morning mass or service. Very Christian of those open-minded kind and accepting God loving people. I likedtunsticker simply because I didnt believe that crucifixion should be a legal form of capital punishment. It had nothing to do with my view on religion. Just kidding. I like to piss random people off and support my favorite band. It seems like the more God like one claims to be the less humanity they seem to show towards one another. The more pious the more perfect the more narrow minded and judgemental. The more endoctrinated in the Lord or whatever the more intolerant they become of others whose opinions differ from those of their own. It's as if the process of Belief, over time, disenlightens, hardens and darkens ones mind and soul to what we are truly meant to experience in this world. Is this process a zero sum game..... For most that is?
