I spent an hour or so today reading interviews from Quorthon. Who’s that, you may ask? He’s the frontman of the goth/black/death/Viking metal band Bathory. It was really sad, actually. In every interview he kept putting down Christianity as this evil myth which has ruined civilization as we know it. Just from reading his comments, he really has no idea what a real relationship with Christ is. He only knows what the “world” portrays Christians as – self-righteous, uptight hypocrites… which we are not

That didn’t bother me. What bothered me was how lonely and despairing he sounded. He is essentially the entire band, he doesn’t tour, doesn’t go out in public, has no friends, has no other job than recording an album every 20 months, and basically spends his life sitting at home reading and mooching off the Swedish government.

I found it ironic that he spends so much energy hating the one thing that could totally transform his life.

In other stuff, I’m giving myself one of the things on my Christmas list – the Dell PC. Unfortunately, they’re a bunch of imbeciles! (In the nicest possible sense, of course) – They’ve managed to charge me twice for one computer, which I don’t have the money for!

Oh yeah – sign my guestbook (the link is on the left) – no one has signed it in over a month!
