Sola fide, also know as Justification by Faith Alone.

Am I the only one here who things the OP is just pulling our chain? My guess PTJ is you are no more religious then me irl.

I don't like ALL his projects, but I can respect them. Peeping Tom was my favorite. Most eclectic without just being...nuts. Mr Bungle was a little too 'nuts' for me.

And I like all their albums. Yep, including the first two without Patton. But they're not as utterly great at the later ones. I usually only hear them when I flip on their 'best of' album, where Patton is absent for like the first four tracks.

Sidenote: Falling to Pieces has been my ringtone for a good while. I know mp3 ringtones aren't 'cool' anymore, but it's such a perfect ringer. Hard to mistake the opening bass thwacks for anything but my phone.

Well you should definitely listen to the first two Tomahawk albums if you haven't; they are the closest thing to FNM Patton has done in my opinion. They went a little too tribal after that and I did not love it (apparently the new album goes back to their roots, but I have not heard it yet).

Way underappreciated album. I laugh at people who think The Real Thing or Angel Dust was the height of Faith No More.

They're just helpless.

Just call me the choir.

 

[Pray To Jesus]

That's why I prefer the term "blind faith." I can say that I have faith in Pray to Jesus to respond to this, and if you ask why, I could respond, "I've seen him do it before." I am presenting a (possibly...) logical backing to my belief, but it is still not necessarily going to happen.

When I subscribed to those silly religious notions, they used to have us do the "fall back check" as a way of showing what having faith in god is like. What they would do is stand you in front of someone else, and tell you to fall backward. The idea is that you know the person is behind you, but you trust them to catch you. I think based on that previous sentence, you understand where I'm going to go with this. The problem is that it is nothing like having faith in God. I know that there is someone behind me, because the person told me that there would be, and I know that the person is not duplicitous. A better example would be to nullify all of your sense, walk into a random room, choose a spot and just fall backward. In this case, you have absolutely no idea if anyone is actually there, and guess what? Chances are you're going to be leaving with a sore buttocks.



A lot of times, people like to try and prove God by simply stating that he (it?) is the answer that fulfills what we cannot understand about our universe. If there's some physics anomaly, it's not that we just don't understand it yet, it must be God!

FAITH BRO! Love you! God bless you!

God told me to do it out of love!
