but what is "in" and what is "of?" no one seems to
get it right. that statement backs me up, though.
the "in the world" thing kind of breaks down the
dichotomy as false.

*but* the christian vs. secular one is a false
dichotomy, especially when/if it comes to music.
it truly is. i hate talking about it, because it
pisses me off. i'm laid back, and don't like being
pissed off about trivial things. so i'm not gonna.
my only statement on it~
christ didn't call his followers to act as separate.
so, if there is a dichotomy, it is one that should
not be. period.

influenced music, but the dark side of things can be
a positive influence.
Requiem for a Dream (recently talked about) makes
me not want to ever stick a needle in my vein.
