I think it's safe to say that former Korn (http://www.korn.com) guitarist, "Head", has lost his mind (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1498084/20050314/korn.jhtml?headlines=true).

Haha, yea, I saw that the other day. What a joke. What's really funny is when you consider how anti-christianity Jonathan Davis or whatever his name is. I read somewhere that he has tattoos of the pope laughing at Christ on the cross and whatnot.

It's things like this that make me a little less self-concious about being an atheist. With people like Head running around, the god-less way of life looks totally sane in comparison.

I don't understand why you have to call him insane for actually having something to believe in. Perhaps it stems from your jealousy that you cannot so easily cast off your cynicism to take an unjaded view of faith... There is nothing wrong with trying to lead a good life.

Wait. Are you kidding?

I don't think he's insane for "having something to believe in." I think he's insane because of WHAT he believes in. The belief he has chosen is a totally fabricated pile of bullshit. Personally, I think it's insane on ratrional grounds. To believe in what he believes in is dellusional. That doesn't mean I don't wish him or anyone else with his beliefs well, of course, but I think I'm entitled to my opion on the matter, as are you.

Nice Lewis quote. Have you read "A Grief Observed"? He makes a convincing (but ultimately shallow) argument for belief in God...

I don't think he's insane for his beliefs. I, myself, am VERY religious and have a strong faith in god and firmly believe in all my thoughts, practices, etc. I think it's great for everyone to believe in something and healthy to have some sense of spirituality. However, I think writing a song about another famous person and saying that he can't get mad at it because it's from God is a bit out of left field. I highly doubt God would be using former Korn guitarist, Head, as his spokesperson, especially to 50 Cent.

Perhaps you aren't familiar with the people God used as spokespeople in the Bible... Paul/Saul anyone?

I personally don't agree with the publicity around it, he should have kept it between himself and 50 Cent, but I can't judge whether or not God spoke to him and all... I think his intentions are good.

I'm very familiar with Paul / Saul. I should've added the fact that I don't believe God "inspires" people like he did in those times today. I also think this guy is using his new found faith as a means to advance his solo career, get some publicity (I mean why else write a song "from" God to 50 cent), etc. I can just see it now: 50 will write a song dissing "Head", "Head" will release the song, ppl will buy the album/song 'cause they're curious to hear it, and then 50 will continually diss him on TV, radio, in song, etc.

Yes, this is great. Let's start arguing about our faiths and how each of us has a much better view on the "True" God. Instead of tearing down the entire moral fabric of someone else's life, just agree to disagree (except in Head's case, because it is definitely a publicity stunt - I don't believe in divine inspiration, especially to a fuck like that).

did you just compare Paul/Saul to the former gutarist of Korn? sorry i really don't mean to patronize, it's just funny to say it out loud.

when i read about all this, i think about that Bill Paxton movie, frailty, where god speaks to him, telling him all the demons roaming the earth that he needs to kill....he had good intentions... i just think it's really offbeat to threaten 50 cent with the retribution of "releasing this song to the world", if he doesn't conform to his beliefs. yes these are just Brian Welch's beliefs, he has no basis, foundation, or following, yet he seems to be acting like he's a prophet. im not going to hesitate to opinionate myself over these wierdos just because they have good intentions. it's happened plenty of times before. it doesn't mean they're christ like. i guess believing is all about having faith. i have no faith in Brian 'Head' Welch. holy shit...hehe...holy...hehe...get it?

I am going to take a stand on this, and I see that overall there is a very liberal view on this. Most people love to jump on the bandwagon when someone does something for God. Now no one knows what God told him, but to say that he is using it to advance his career, now thats a joke.

Do you not realize how successful a band Korn was? Obviously, this guy doesnt need the money and if he wanted fame he would have stayed in Korn. As far as the atheist beliefs saying they are proud to be atheist and attack a Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis, do you not even know that C.S. Lewis was originally an atheist to begin with, but then turn a Christian!! Get your stuff straight.

Now, I dont necessarily agree with the fact that if 50 doesnt like the song that he will release it to the public, but obviously there are plenty of people in the world including myself who at times are not on the right path and need to be reminded of God's love and be reprimanded as well for their actions.

I didn't "attack" C.S. Lewis, I stated that the argument he present in that book is weak. The book itself is great, incidentally.

Do you really think I would have commented about Lewis without knowing that he was once an atheist? What did I say that made you think that I didn't know this? My "stuff" is more than straight, and you don't have the right to tell me it's not.

did you just compare Paul/Saul to the former gutarist of Korn? sorry i really don't mean to patronize, it's just funny to say it out loud.
I thought the comparison was farily apt. You need to remember that Paul was a Pharisee and co-opter of Christianity, using for his own advancement. Seems pretty familiar in this situation...

Anyway, I don't think it's up to us to say who God has spoken to and who he hasn't. You may believe that he wouldn't speak to him, but don't try to pass it off as rational thought and then claim this guy "lost his mind" or "is a total idiot." No one has lived inside his head and no one has experienced what he has.

If you're going to ridicule anything, ridicule the fact that he's using his personal beliefs as a way to market an album.

I don't think he's insane for his beliefs. I, myself, am VERY religious and have a strong faith in god and firmly believe in all my thoughts, practices, etc. I think it's great for everyone to believe in something and healthy to have some sense of spirituality. However, I think writing a song about another famous person and saying that he can't get mad at it because it's from God is a bit out of left field. I highly doubt God would be using former Korn guitarist, Head, as his spokesperson, especially to 50 Cent.

I agree with you. I've never been very religious. I don't go to church nor have I read the bible but I do believe in God. I didn't make fun of Head for leaving Korn because he found God. That's fine. The only time something like that would bug me is when someone tries to preach at me and "save" me. If I want saving or you to preach at me, I would've asked for it. I mean no disrespect it's just that really pisses me off. This reminds me of when like serial killers get caught and after they've been in jail for awhile they go to court and take the stand and go "It's alright because I found God." :headshake

"I still love those guys to death, but if anybody trashes God, I am human and will defend Him and myself by any means necessary."

Aww, what a good (read: scarey-arsed) Christian. ;P

As far as this whole, "you're an idiot," stuff going on in this thread, wasting time bothering to even discuss this matter makes us all idiots, including myself now that I've been drawn into posting to it, sigh.

To those defending his right to have beliefs should also realize that the fact that true beliefs are usually a highly personal matter and feeling the need to advertise them via mass media channels like mtv of all places undermines the sincerity of such convictions. Who am I to judge? I'm a person that does have my own beliefs but isn't on mtv.com telling you "how it is." There's a difference between fully devout in your religion/beliefs and being narrow-minded enough in this day and age to think that everyone else has to fully agree with you.

Aww, what a good (read: scarey-arsed) Christian. ;P

As far as this whole, "you're an idiot," stuff going on in this thread, wasting time bothering to even discuss this matter makes us all idiots, including myself now that I've been drawn into posting to it, sigh.

To those defending his right to have beliefs should also realize that the fact that true beliefs are usually a highly personal matter and feeling the need to advertise them via mass media channels like mtv of all places undermines the sincerity of such convictions. Who am I to judge? I'm a person that does have my own beliefs but isn't on mtv.com telling you "how it is." There's a difference between fully devout in your religion/beliefs and being narrow-minded enough in this day and age to think that everyone else has to fully agree with you.

d4d

You are suppose to advertise it according to Christianity. I mean that's the whole point of Baptism, you are showing (advertising) to the world that you are a Christian.

If something truly changes your life of course you would want to share it. As far as someone calling me a narrow minded Catholic, way to stereotype. I am not Catholic but A Christian yes.

Along with another person defending that they knew CS Lewis was originally an atheist and saw what was wrong with that, then wouldnt that cause you to question any legitimacy of your point?

I just think its great that a man who is no longer damaging himself physically (with drugs), and has found joy in his life is being attacked because he chose Christianity. Like if he said he was to become a Buddhist or Muslim and was sending 50 a letter from Muhammed, would anyone reply again oh stupid Muslim trying to convert 50? No they would just say to each his own.

So for me to be attacked personally is pretty great, because all it is is bitter kids who are trying to show how they have been wronged in the past and rebelling against the "religious system" which has it ever really been forced on you? Or is it just so commonly accepted like a local fast-food place that you just have had enough and wanna do your own thing?? Well I am glad your enjoying attacking someone who has found life in something he believes in.

one thing i never understood, if you say a giant pink elephant told to do it, you're automatically considered crazy. but if you say God did then some of the people MIGHT think you're crazy and a bunch of them will say that you're getting closer to God. If i was around thousands of years ago i bet the giant pink elephant religion would be one of the dominant religions. but yeah.

i've never been one to say that any religion is wrong, i just lack the evidence to be proved wrong/right so i remain an atheist. people can believe whatever they want. but i do think that head is a little bit out there. I know a lot of a really christian people but they refrain from taking it such extremes as head does. they've taught me that you can't force faith upon someone and you need to find it yourself. you can't force it upon someone.

so i remain an atheist, maybe one day ill be drawn into religion but right now, im happy with things the way they are.

That person was me.

What the fuck are you talking about? Now I'm just curious.

I don't think there is anything wrong with him being an atheist and then becoming Christian. That's his own personal journey. He chose to make that journey a somewhat public one throughout his career and I respect that, as should you. I happen to disagree with the reasons for his conversion, and given that he made these reasons public I think I have right to. He felt that Christianity was "reasonable" and that it a logical choice. His logic, unfourtunately, was poor. How does any of this call into question the legitimacy of my point?

Let me reiterate: my point is that the argument in the book "A Grief Observed" is fragile and unimpressive. It doesn't seem like you've even read the book, so why are telling me that my point has no legitimacy? If you want to get into it, get into it. Don't just fucking sit there spouting nonesense.

I thought the comparison was farily apt. You need to remember that Paul was a Pharisee and co-opter of Christianity, using for his own advancement. Seems pretty familiar in this situation...

Anyway, I don't think it's up to us to say who God has spoken to and who he hasn't. You may believe that he wouldn't speak to him, but don't try to pass it off as rational thought and then claim this guy "lost his mind" or "is a total idiot." No one has lived inside his head and no one has experienced what he has.

If you're going to ridicule anything, ridicule the fact that he's using his personal beliefs as a way to market an album.

oh i think that's a good point. my comment was just to humor the thought that we're actually in a situation to where we're putting them in the same sentence.

one more point. assuming that Welch is for real about all this let's break it down. He's using all of this 'god talking to me' stuff in order to promote one of his upcoming songs, and also in the process, kind of blackmailing somebody else(isn't that god's name in vein to an extent). everybody that's defending this guy on the basis that we dont know what he saw, seem to agree that it's wrong what he's doing with it in order to further his career. i dont know about anybody else, but i see a gap in that logic. would god really speak to somebody that shallow anyway?

so ok, i guess i'll chime in with my two cents... i'm a christian and i have my relationship with "the big guy" and all of those good things... but come on, lighten up people. if you fail to see the humor in this article, then you seriously need to lighten up. get offline and step outside for five minutes. it's a beautiful world out there. i mean come on, former nu metal guitarist is looking to save one of the biggest names in the rap industry. wether it's a marketing ploy, or he actually feels like this is what he's meant to do, he's got to realize that people are going to think it's odd. i mean, when was the last time anyone did anything like this? and who's to say 50 cent doesn't already have a relationship with god? it may or may not be a healthy one, but he may very well in fact already have an existing relationship with god. he may not even believe in god. and if he doesn't, it's his right to do so. same if he does. if head wants to try to save him, let em, but he's gotta realize that people are going to find the idea ludacris...hmm, maybe he's next. ok i'm done here.

You are somewhat right in that you have a 'right' to, but you should realize when to use these 'rights'. I have a 'right' to be a complete racist but that doesnt mean I should. Plus I promise you no one is putting your opinion up there with CS Lewis, no matter what you might think.

In conclusion.........just because you can express how stupid YOU feel someone decision is on religion doesnt mean you should.

Wait. Are you kidding?

I don't think he's insane for "having something to believe in." I think he's insane because of WHAT he believes in. The belief he has chosen is a totally fabricated pile of bullshit. Personally, I think it's insane on ratrional grounds. To believe in what he believes in is dellusional. That doesn't mean I don't wish him or anyone else with his beliefs well, of course, but I think I'm entitled to my opion on the matter, as are you.

Nice Lewis quote. Have you read "A Grief Observed"? He makes a convincing (but ultimately shallow) argument for belief in God...

Hey man, my point is that you said "to believe in what he believes in is dellusional", then you reference a C.S. Lewis book stating that his argument is convincing, that argument being his reason from converting from atheism to Christianity, doesnt that in turn mean you are calling him dellusional as well...thats all my point is, so I wanted to make sure you knew that CS Lewis was in fact first an atheist, I am not attacking you personally. I am just surprised why when I defend this guys new found faith Im consider closed minded, and when someone attacks him or me its called expressing an opinion (now I am not saying you did that, but the general theme of this thread leads that way) ok? feel free to message me or whatever, this is interesting either way.

That's just silly. If he said any religious figure was trying to channel a letter from him to 50 CENT he would be bashed, people aren't doing it b/c they have some amazing hatred of Christianity. Take a step back and look at the situation. (for the most part) PEOPLE ARE NOT INSULTING HIS MOVEMENT TOWARDS CHRISTIANITY!!! The humor in it is that a former Korn guitarist--using the name Head--claims to be receiving messages from God to people like the biggest (possibly) rap star today--50 Cent. Not only this, but if 50 doesn't positively accept this message from Head/God, he will be forced to put it on his solo cd so the whole world will hear it. If you don't realize that the humor/craziness in this story has very little to do with Christianity and more to do with one man's ridiculous story then you seriously do have some problems. Sure some people are saying things slightly offensive things (emphasis on slightly--most people are just critiqueing religion which is done by even the smartest people and the most utterly religious people for every religion out there), but most people are just commenting on how stupid this story is. Good for him if he converted to Christianity, thats great, just dont preach/threaten other people, especially as a marketing ploy in the name of God.

i like the way you put it. it's not the faith that we're bashing. it's the way he's using it. there's no sense of christianity anywhere near his methods of converting. it's just too tacky. history just has a bad track record when it comes to this kind of stuff.

I think it's safe to say someone understood what I was saying in the post. What would you all think if I came on here and started making posts about how God told me to tell everyone they needed to listen to and love Brand New or Taking Back Sunday or any other band you can think of because they were the greatest band ever? What if Jason came on here and said he made this website because God told him to? We get bashed for a million and one other things so I'm pretty sure our sanity would come into question on this one. I'm sure God has a lot more to be concerned with than the music industry and what artist is trying to "help out" another artist. For example, I think it's always funny when an athlete, musician, actor, etc. thanks god when they win an award as if God had a say in it or actually cared or made it happen. Just MY two cents and MY personal opinion.

However, I think writing a song about another famous person and saying that he can't get mad at it because it's from God is a bit out of left field. I highly doubt God would be using former Korn guitarist, Head, as his spokesperson, especially to 50 Cent.

Well I guess you could say people are made in the image of their God, if you believe in that. I don't know about God writing songs thru people though. 'God made me do it' is sketchy. You're either enlightened or something in your brain isn't clicking right.

God inspires people, but I personally don't believe that God told Head to write that song...I guess I'm not qualified to make that judgment though. That's between him and God. I'm happy that Brian found his happiness in God, as long as he doesn't get weird about it like Benny Hinn. Ah Benny Hinn, what a character.

Brian is a new Christian, you know how they get sometimes, they're excited about it at first, then they finally mature in their walk with God and settle down about it.

Not all Christians are like this, or Benny Hinn.

this dude right here has the sickest sig in the world...arrested development is fucking awesome and you should all be watching it.

Yes it is.

Since this thread is all religious/music debate I really have nothing to add since religion discussion isnt really my cup of tea. I don't dislike any certain religious group or align myself with any of them either. I was brought up Methodist and I dont really go to church at all anymore mainly because of working an overnight schedule that puts me in bed during church time. I probably wouldn't go anyway because its not really something in my life right now that I find necessary to my existance. I mean that could change... I respect anyones point of view when it comes to religion just like I do music, I just don't want it pushed on my by parents, peers, or society. I am my own person just like Head and 50 are their own people. If Head claims to have had a spiritual epiphany or whatever...good for him thats his bag. He can give his points of view to 50 and the world, it just doesn't mean we have to care or even listen. I just hope 50 handles the situation in a good way and either just says "thanks but no thanks" or just ignores it entirely. What I fear will happen is that the subject will end up causing a big stink and end up in an animosity driven song in response. I dont know how the Rap world works but it seems like even well intentioned idea from an outsider is shot down and turned into controversy just to make the news and sell records.

You basically can't even look at Eminiem without fearing a name drop in a song insulting you or your character. Whatever we all gotta make our money somehow.

Now "Caged Wisdom"....thats a religion I can get behind.....as long as I dont get genitalia waved at me to have a point proven.

I'm not interested in flexing my "rights" - that's really not what this is about.

I think you might be misunderstanding who I was referring to and when. The above quote was in reference to Head, and I stand by what I said. My previous reply to you was in response to things I said about C.S. Lewis. Does that make sense to you? If not, go back and read the whole thread over again.

I understood who you were referring to and when you were referring to them. When I talked about using your 'right' I was referring broadly. Meaning in any instance, just like the quote I put up from you about Head, you should know when and what is appropriate to say even though you have the right to say it.

In this thread you've demeaned Christianity, and I find it rather absurd that you call his beliefs insane unless you possess the obvious, entire truth and would like to share it with us and the scientific community because you could clear up a lot of questions that have been asked about religion since the beginning of time.

Most 100 plus replies threads tend to get that way.

I don't know who is more passionate and defensive of their views....religious zealots or people who denounce all religion. Not implying either of them are present here in this case but it seems like the scales are pretty even on how vocal people in each group are about their beliefs or lackthereof.

Plays are fun.

The G-Unit butt-rapes Head.
(Even without The Game, but I think he will help in molesting him)

Leaving Head to die, God would appear before him once again.

God: I never told you to deliver any messege to 50 Cent.

Head: I know, I just wanted to be the next Jesus.

God: You can't be the next Jesus, because Jesus was as stupid as you. Why do you think I left him to die on the cross? Because he was going around saying that he was my son, but I never had sex for 4000 years.

Head: So Jesus was a liar, and all my time studying the Bible was all just a waste of time?

God: Yes, those stories were total bullshit that were made-up with a moral at the end.

Head: Maybe I've should've done something with my life, instead of believing in a false god like Jesus.

(All of a sudden Dimebag shows up next to God)

God: I must go, because me and Dimebag are gonna get high then go to a strip joint.

Dimebag: Yeah you fucking loser.

God: Yeah, you're pretty fucked.

(God and Dimebag went to get high and rocked out with their cocks out. All of the sudden Pacman ate Head and spat out his clothing on the sidewalk, where 2 hobos fought over his Jesus-Wannabe clothing)

And then G-Unit will get back together with The Game and then they will make a new album about fucking Head in the ass.

DONT HATE ME BECAUSE I SPEAK MY MIND!

I'm not going to get into the specifics of my beliefs on this board. I will say that I don't think you need to possess any kind of absolute "obvious" truth to call Head's beliefs insane or to feel that Christianity is a "pile of bullshit." To me, this IS obvious.

I may hire you as a staff writer for my new blasphemous work "The Bible pt 2: What You Didn't Get to see"(The Unrated version).

I have pitched my idea to several networks who were for the most part shocked and yet strangely interested. But to be fair how could anyone pass up the story of how there were actually 12 and a 1/2 disciples..... There were 13 but Malik was stripped of his body from the waste down during a training session on how to walk on water. Lets just say Jesus felt entirely responsible for the waterskiing incident on the Tigris Euphrates and was never able to return to his gold metal winning form.

So you don't mind expressing on the board how his beliefs are "a pile of bullshit", but you do mind explaining on the board how his are and how yours are more right.

It's funny how many people decide to call his transition to religion stupid and idiotic. I suppose his life before, of doing every drug in site was a completely sane thing to do. Yes, what a total fool......quitting drugs and pursuing something meaningful to himself that has been proven to be healthy for someones life.

What is it with you and all the other idiots that post with the same narrow-minded thought process? The fact that you can breathe and type at the same time astounds me. Your linear method of deriving conclusions is an insult to intelligence. Nobody is blaming him for trying to do something good with his life. People are blaming him for being a dipshit. I think the main point is that god hardly ever makes public declarations through prophets and if hes gonna do so you would think it would be about pressing issues such as poverty, hunger, illness, war and not to one fuck up about another fuckup. I agree with the sentiment of your post that its not right to ridicule people striving for a positive change but when you let your sentiment guide your reasoning and overshadow the facts then you are just as stupid. Now quit trying to make me feel guilty about my opinion, Nazi!

P.s. Having an unexpected leap from atheism to Christianity is one thing, quitting hardcore drugs cold turkey is another and somehow I highly doubt that he did. :p

Can you show me where I have been narrow-minded? I'm actually being very open-minded because if you look I also agree with what Jared said earlier, and with what I underlined in your post. Maybe your overlooked it or something else, but I've been the opposite of narrow-minded in this thread. My problem was with people who were simply bashing his beliefs and Christianity. If you want to question whether he talks to God, go for it because you should. There are tons of false prophets out there and they should be questioned.

Note I said earlier, "Now how far 'Head' interprets his beliefs and takes them is purely up to him, eventhough I might not agree with him."

I was just quoting that one specific comment that I put on my post because most of the people on the board making fools of themselves weren’t acknowledging that it wasn’t Christianity....I

In your quote you specifically ridicule people bashing his transition to Christianity which I felt was not what people were doing. I felt you had good intentions just overlooked what people were really gripping about. Not a personal attack on you though. Got class now, ill be back around 8. Let me know if that helps


P.s. If those were not your true intentions and you cleared it up in a following post then I apologize, but the statement holds true to most of the other posters defending this sack of shit.

Like I said, I dont have a problem with people questioning his speaking to God. I was skeptical when Reggie White said God told him to play football. I didnt like though when people question the sincerity of his beliefs, or bash the entire Christian religion.

They, nor me, have no clue on how sincere his beliefs are without talking to him or knowing what he's been through.

I am Christian and I'm not going to ramble on claiming my beliefs are right and everyone elses are not or that im smart or you're stupid for believing whatever you believe in because that is pure ignorance and this is about what half of you on this board are doing. Seriously, if you do not know what you are talking about then please keep it to yourself. Basing a whole religion off of a rockstar...or anybody, is simply stupid. Good for Head or whatever his name is but it is more likely then not he is a faker because he mentions himself constantly and it is nothing about God. He magnifies how God came to him and choose him. If he truely found what he speaks of he wouldn't babble about what he is going to do or what he is making but what was done for him. Who knows? I'm not head, i have not walked in his shoes or seen/heard/done the things he has and i'm not justified to say that but thats my view on it

I'm a Christian and when I started going to Church and praying regularly, it was nothing like that. Maybe he is sincere, but he's going a little overboard. Being a missionary is one thing, but it seems like he's doing it for publicity. There are plenty of people out there the Christian community can help, a good start would be half the people on this site, I don't think it needs to start with a celebrity like 50 Cent.

And wow, there a lot of ignorant people on this site. That's all.
