Bruce Dickinson on "Faith and Music" 1999 3/3

...

[@macabre19]

He's a credit to mankind. One of humanity's best. Also the best metal singer ever.

[@mooneclipse81]

i could listen to him for days!..the most underappreciated singer in the world.

[@dred000]

How beautifully he talks about his life... I could listen to him for hours...

[@bunnyontherocks]

He has some of the sweetest eyes I've ever seen! Such a great singer, and I too can hear him for days talk and sing to me! ♥

[@DanCarollo]

Very thoughtful observations. I'm reminded of a quote by the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre: “That God does not exist, I cannot deny. That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.”

[@ScorpionMaster1224]

god bless you bruce. God loves you.

[@winnietheblue3633]

I hope he has come around to the faith proper. He seems so sympathetic, let us pray he sees the truth of the gospel!

[@577buttfan]

Jesus is the only way!!!!

[@dansweet2499]

I feel I can reach him. I used to think like this I went along with it because my family is Christian and it sounded beautiful but at 8 years old something was telling me it has to be real because I am going along with it so I accepted Jesus and I knew it was real all along because I just didn't arrive out of thin air and I felt it but growing up I just thought it was a beautiful thought. Amazing things happen when you accept Jesus, You become invincible in a way when you accept him because nothing can stop him when you accept him. Praise The Lord and I keep praying for Bruce he is also the Lord's child and we should as Christians show him the way to heaven. Rock on Bruce.

[@TrailerParkPolak]

Just what I came her for looking..lets pray ♡♡♡♡

[@anamarisa2800]

Although he sure sacrificed

[@marekstrapko2155]

I think, that Bruce might have chinged his mind in the wide range...This video is quite old, but still assures me, that this person is a great individual. You basically keep all your life searching, if you want to search. I am so happy and prayed so much for Bruce to come back after that horrible illness which could have led to the end of his earthly life. When I listen to the interviews now - he has changed a lot.

So what do you think? Does he believe or not?

Bruce Dickinson is one of the most talented musicians on Earth. I´ve followed Iron Maiden since 1980. Shame that this man haven´t met Almighty God. As if he had, he´d be thankful for his gift. God bless man even if you don´t believe. You will at some point.

Maiden is great, I am a Christian who loves metal and some of their songs seem to be biblical based and spiritual, I love Sign Of The Cross and I see in a sneaky way they are warning people against evil and the devil. Steve Harris is a born again Christian and I think one of the drummers they have had or have is a Christian.

[@planjane69]

Steve Harris is not born again Christian, Nicko McBrain is.

[@anamarisa2800]

Cause they are satanists and believe in satan, although they pervert the bible message. And with their satanic propaganda they hope other will be following the rabbit or the pipper. Just lsten to the banda that spoke about rituals or talking to alliens and stuff like that. They are really into satanism. Even when crimes and sacrifices have all the signs of satanic rituals, they always say t was not satanists. But of course it was satanists, normal people don’t summon demons with rituals and meditation, they do that

[@ExtremeBogom]

Bruce is a deep guy clearly. He is completely right that spirituality is a very personal and individual thing. That is why organised religion is on the decline. I don't know about all countries, but I think Europe is gradually returning to it's spiritual roots before the Romans brung the dark ages upon us. The fact that some religious folk think Metal is "Satanic" just shows that they can see that Metal has helped move people away from their clutches. I remember they used to think the Beatles and Led Zeppelin were Satanic too! The world has conquered Christianity, not the other way around.

[@LongDrivesAtNight5150]

Just to give you an example of what atheists have done where I live...and I would also have to add in liberal multiculturalists. For years they wanted religious symbolism removed from public schools, primarily Christianity of course. Now some of those same schools are allowing muslim prayer rooms and prayer times. The atheists and liberal multiculturalists are silent. That's just one example. Recently a university shut down it's multi-faith chapel, but is expanding a muslim room. An aspect of culture is a belief system, religion....many in western countries seem to enjoy tearing down that value, but you and I both know the others coming into our countries are not giving up theirs. I don't have a problem with an atheist. It is their choice and right as individuals not believe in God...but when they tear down or want to tear down an aspect of their countries founding culture, it is putting a smile on the faces of the followers of islam. There are many muslims, many islamic ideological groups, and many imams who call for "cultural jihad" against the nations they have immigrated to....having islam infiltrate western legal, political and educational systems. It's basically the same goals as the many islamic terror groups worldwide, just without the violence. Often times, I believe atheists to a point, liberal and those even further on the left side of politics are aiding and helping the islamic cause. I know a teacher that wanted to get her grade 3 kids involved in charity work. She brought in small Samaritans Purse boxes for the kids to get donations...it's a Christian charity. She was warned by the school principal never to bring in that Christian stuff again. Not in the same school, but under the same school system and board, they allow muslim prayer rooms. Or a school principal making sure the word Christmas was removed from the song Silver Bells that his school choir was going to sing, oddly enough at "Christmas" time, because it might offend others.

Spiritalality is a new age word for pagans. You believe in God or you dont. Simple as that. Spitital just means godless.

Mr. Dickinson believe me God is not fiction, he absolutely exists! You're a smart man and you should know we're not just a bag of cosmic dust. We were created in the image of God Almighty and he loves all of us brother! Im not like Ms.Super Christian or anything but youve gotta know God is real and he loves you!

There is nothing more creepy than a delusional zealot trying to convert people over internet while spouting complete incoherent nonsense.

How do you know God loves us? You can't know anything about God, you can believe about God and have different ideas, but that is just your opinion. Maybe there is evil God who likes humanity to suffer? You can't debunk this. Everything you say about God its just your opinion.

[@estrategacreativa]

amazing words...

[@scorpiorising3741]

Not really.

[@uggla03]

ok it says faith and music but was on at the time the sbs was normally on lol

[@gocsa]

And the other thing is: you go on living your life and being a nice person for yourself, and your loved ones and other people as well - for humanity or the whole world, including every living creature, in essence. An atheist has no invisible crutches and that's a lot more noble and andmirable than doing things for a God, or in fear of one...

[@JUKA08]

"all this spirit stuff is nonsense, but it is a useful way of living your life, which is one way of thinking about God, which is: the God does not really exist, but you've got to invent him, because man needs to believe in something like it, in order to live a meaningful life. So, basically, you know it is really fiction, but none the less you've still got to go through with it, because otherwise you just fall in despair and stuff like that..." he is a modern day philosopher really

[@kalebvera1841]

jordan peterson has spoke about this subject very well, i think bruce should look up petersons biblical talks, peterson even has followers who callnhemselves atheists christians , ppl who are atheists but live up to the christian values

[@REIVAJ2194]

maybe because accepting the fact that there is a god , probably all those beings or gods you mentioned are the same just interpreted differently and are given different names depending on the civillization you are talking about (just an opinion, I find this very interesting ^^)

..i'm on about the fact that he's the best vocalist and music thinker of all time...and here in england very few are aware of who he is......i'm confused..if you don't think so..and if you don't like dickinson..why are you here watching this?...don't reply to this..you made me miss fucking newcastle's goal...

The best explanation of Paganism I've ever heard was in The Serpent and The Rainbow: "God isn't just in his Heaven, he's here, in our bodies." Bruce is the proof. He's the greatest living sorcerer this side of the Dalai Lama.

[@drizzt102]

I think he already is Christian, lol. He did say he believes in it, its just he's not sure whether he's just lying to himself or not. Nothing wrong with that, at least he's honest in that sense.

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

Depends on the definition of being a christian, does it not? Some people think, that being a christian means to be nice and serving in an outstanding way. Others think, that you can only be a christian if you earnestly gave The Trinity the absolute command over you whole life.

How can you say that God doesn't exist........? / Why do you think it says in (2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ); fortunately your god is devil, moreless because you sing the devil, that is why you don't believe in God because you are obeying your master "satan himself" the only thing here is that when you die your soul will go streight to hell.

He's halfway there, but still so far from being an enlightened free thinker, an atheist or humanist or whatever you'd like to call it.

I don't know what Bruce currently believes. In this video, he sounds like an atheist that can't deal with it. But why? Maybe he was raised with it and so just finds it comfortable. I love Maiden since I got into metal circa 1982, but I think for myself and don't see eye to eye with Bruce on this. I don't believe there is any god, especially the one presented in the Bible. And I don't think people need the idea of it to live their lives. They're conditioned to think so because it is all around them. And not believing casts you as an outsider in most cases. For me, it just doesn't work. I don't believe and everyone who knows me knows it.
