Some very sane views expressed here by Alan Sparhawk of Low:
"Everything should make you feel closer to God, but music tends to be a particularly good conduit."
"Music in general has been the fiber of my faith from the beginning. Everything I know about God was taught to me in songs & the spiritual milestones of my life have almost always been musical experiences. I think the process of writing songs has helped me learn to listen to the spirit, which then testifies of Christ & His Father."
"Music & art give us license to say, “What if everything you thought was true was actually a lie?!!” It let’s you dream. You can’t have faith if you think you know what’s true."
"The world of music, especially rock ‘n’ roll, is filled with religious people - the best kind - the ones who just do good things & don’t fly a flag."
"I think a person can address/express their deepest darkest fears in a way that brings light & redemption. It’s part of telling the truth. Sometimes a prayer is ugly, but God still wants to hear it."
"I’m not an intentional writer. Ideas come usually in fragments & I’m left to fit them together, sometimes having to consciously fill in empty parts. I’ve learned to trust what comes to you."
