Ok, that sounds good. Thanks for the discussion so far. But real quick, may I ask you this question: What is the inverse of the statement "I don't believe in God?" Seems there should be an inversely…Continue

The reason they are seen as having little, if any, religiosity is because "religion" is a Western concept. They only know what it is because they are connected to the…"

Please listen to the song on the webpage (you'll see the sound cloud in the upper right). Now I have no idea if these girls are atheists, but damn, that is an amazing song.
Actually, it's called "Hard Believer", and here's a link directly to the Soundcloud page:…

I played this song with Nick a couple times when I was his rhythm guitarist, but now it's been recorded, and although the mastering's a bit rough, it is freakin' awesome (no, I did not play on this recording... my brother Aaron did do the drums, however, so make sure to listen to them)!

Johnsky said… - Hmmm, no, unfortunately most of my work only spans a couple of minutes or so. Most music you will find out there won't exceed 3 minutes or so, this is because if it's longer, a separate theme has to be used in order to avoid boring the audience... unfortunately, a separate theme also "breaks" the message or feel of the piece.
I think you're likely going to wind up using two pieces of music in your clip. I can't really think of an alternative.
I'm heading to bed at the moment, but if you want, I can lend you another one of my pieces to tack to the end of that one... if you want. I can upload it tomorrow after work.

blue pashmina posted a blog postNot believing in an afterlife does not mean i am a "sad' person.
I work in healthcare in a long term care facility and I deal with death on a regular basis. About a year ago the opportunity arose for me to take a palliative care course through my work. I enjoyed it for the most part. It dealt with topics such as end of life care, pain relief and addressing the spiritual needs of different individuals based on their religious beliefs.There was one instance however that was decidedly unpleasant, and unfortunately really overshadowed the rest of my time in the…See More
