well that has much more to do with the music type you like, not religion. if you e.g. listen to metal music of all kinds like me, then you wouldn't stop that because it just wouldnt make any sense. It's more like (with me), that I am a lil bit more careful when it comes to bands such as slaughter to prevail, which I musically like, but in some lyrics have a rather anti-religious narrative. (which I don't blame them for)

Tabla are drums from India that are very finely tuned and played with intricacy and subtlety among Hindu and Sufi people to express mystical and spiritual concepts through music. I think that's why tabla drumming is appropriate for a song with such subtle and symbolic lyrics.

[@daviddaimary7734]

@@mkultra1982 Tablas are used in pop music here in India too. Has nothing to do with mysticism and spitituality. If anything, I suppose Tool were influenced by South Indian Carnatic music because of their use of polymeters and polyrythms in their traditional music.

[@TheSimonScowl]

FWIW guys, I can see that you both love Tool. There is always this conflict between the love of music, and modern 'Christian' Evangelicalism. What you don't understand yet, is that GOD SPEAKS THROUGH MUSIC (and art, and literature, etc.). GOD IS POWERFUL. He can do that! But back in my day (late 70s/early 80s), Tool would have been the scariest band of all, because they DO dabble in the occult. They are the first, and only band I know of to openly embrace the occult. And now I know more about it!

[@ganondorfchampin]

Oh, I understand that God speaks through music, and I hear him in Tool's. Regarding Tool dabbling in the occult, one misconception is that the occult is satanic or otherwise anti-Christian. Dabbling it is dangerous as dark powers may interfere, but it's also the basis for much of Christian Mysticism, where holy men were trying to better understand their relationship with God.

[@3dSorcery]

I was respecting this whole process until he said "it would take more faith to believe in an evolutionary world view than a Christian world view." There is a big fundamental difference between the two... particularly that evolution is a scientific theory which considers various pieces evidence that can be tested and measured, and it can be used to make predictions which might turn out to be correct or incorrect. The Christian world view is a belief system based on stories that must be either believed or not believed. I think that continuing to conflate the two is intellectually unforgivable, so for that reason, I'm out!

I am a blind musician who is a Christian and a very big fan of Tool. One thing I like about Maynard's lyrics is that they can be so broadly interpreted, no matter how you want to look at it, and he is very intelligent and does wonders with what he crafts. I would like to recommend another Tool song, titled Eulogy, it's off their Aenima album, one of my favorites by them. Thank you for doing these videos.

Eulogy would be rough on them, though. . . most people assume it is kind of one dimensional hate on Christ.

[@JHayes37]

It's actually about Ron L. Hubbard, founder of Scientology...when he mentions a failed martyr...at first listen I thought it was about Jesus, as well...

[@jsmyth024]

@@JHayes37 I don't think it's one dimensional like that. If I HAD to put money on it being about one person, I'd actually go with Paul D'Armour, but I don't like going in that direction. From the tool FAQ: *The big question: Who is "Eulogy" about? As with most Tool songs, the song is vague enough that can be interpreted to be anyone / anything. The song is primarily about the death of something which most probably turned out to be a fake. Regarding the rumor that the band is no longer on good terms with Henry Rollins; he has recently been heard talking positively about Tool, saying he was unaware of any bad blood. In Modern Drummer (10/93), Danny mentions L. Ron Hubbard as the object of the song. One way or another, though, the song has a message that can stand apart from any specific target; the interpretation is left to you, and the specifics aren't too important."* Might I remind that the boys are always saying things to throw people off. Maybe, to Danny, the song is about Hubbard, but maybe not.

Listening to this one day on the way I was literally God smacked. I have listened to this song hundreds of times, but for some reason I never really noticed the line "Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here". For some reason this early morning it came through loud, clear, and undeniable! I was literally shaking and looking up at the stars passing through the trees in the darkness. I was drawn to tears and couldn't shake it off. For days every few hours those words blew through my mind. I knew I had to take a large step to get back to God. I had been approached by several over the last year or so to attend an ACT's retreat, and I always had a reason to blow it off. I knew I couldn't say no if I was approached about the next one. Naturally, I attended the next one, and it was the most healing and renewing experience of my life. 3 years have past and since then, and I am eternally grateful for Tool bringing me back to God, or should I say I love how the Lord brought me back to him through one of my favorite bands. I highly recommend ACT's to anyone out there. You can only be a retreatant once. There is a reason for that.

I love the way that you mention (at 18:43 ) the dividing of the veil (Matthew27:50,51) and how it was torn ‘Right in Two’ when Jesus died... you just gave a world of new meaning to this song for me. How easily misguided do we truly become. It’s easy to become bitter towards God. It is easy to point the finger at Adam. It is much harder to take responsibility for our own hearts. Only when we consider the dividing of the veil, are we able to clearly see the hope that exists only in the person of Christ.

That's the really neat thing about good lyrics, you leave them vague enough that people can interpret a more personal meaning from them.

"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here" is an amazing lyric.

[@tonyjohnson7743]

I've been a Tool fan for quite a long time. I also happen to be atheist although I genuinely appreciate and enjoy this channel. As a former musician I can tell you that Tool is a masterpiece in everything they do, musically. With all that said I think you dissected the song pretty well. Although, Maynard frequently paints a picture for his listeners that does not always speak for what the song is actually about. The "monkey" he speaks of is definitely human because he is very much a person who lives his life based on facts and not faith. I dont think he leans his lyrics toward a divine creator as if he actually believes that there is.

[@Runyan4PREZ]

I would agree.. my take from it is that he is throwing evolution into the song with the monkey to human reference.. playing off of religion and saying why would god create humans that fight, kill, wield clubs and knives, sometimes even in the name of their chosen creator. Maynard, from all accounts including his own, is not a believer. He has some tough takes on christianity and religion in general. I do however respect some that choose to believe or live by a religion, it is good to believe in something, can help get you through things and can help you stay grounded. And while many believe in good things.. some obviously abuse religion, like anything that can be abused.. just often on grander scales.

[@bigpoppa1979able]

I couldn't have said it better. I'm also an atheist but I subscribe to this channel. I love philosophical discussions, and a Tool critique is as philosophical as it comes.

[@beyondmt]

Maynard is not an atheist and has detailed his struggle with faith.

[@DodeyPotroast]

I believe he may actually be referencing a quote in the movie “The Prophecy,” where Lucifer says something like, “how I love you talking monkeys for this... know more about war and treachery of the spirit than any angel.” It’s also safe to say that none of us personally know Maynard, and what his true beliefs are. However, we do know that he spends an awful lot of lyrics based on Biblical facts and reasoning. Which would lead me to believe that he is knowledgeable of the Bible, and does believe in a higher power. It’s highly doubtful that Maynard is an atheist. There are a lot of accounts of devout atheists turning to Christ, once the “truly” dive into the Word and understand our Creator.

[@weskergeorge97]

@@DodeyPotroast Just because he is knowledgeable about the Bible, doesnt mean he believes in what's in it. I have friends that have read both the Old and New Testament and Quran but are devout atheists still. Just search around and you'll see interviews where he clearly says he despises organised religions. Now, he does come across as a spiritual person, but not necessarily a theist. But as you said none of us actually know what goes inside his head.

You seem like a good person, Pastor. I've had issues in my life with people who call themselves Christians in the past. Mainly because they don't deserve to be called Christian. To be Christian is to be like Christ. And Christ taught unexceptionable love. I've met many "Christians" who have showed hate, or looked down on people who don't live a certain way. From watching you and how you handle people that talk badly toward you in the comment section, it seems like you are the type of person who spreads love to everyone. Thank you for that. You don't judge people for acting out of line(at least in the comment section). You embrace others thoughts and take what they say into consideration (from how I've seen you analyze some lyrics). I know I don't know you in real life, but this series is an amazing testimony towards who you are, your faith, and your God.

@Nunya Business I understand Christians are humans. And I would never expect anyone to be a saint, Christian or otherwise. But too often I've seen in churches, big and small, this attitude of disdain towards others they don't believe live up to their standards of what a good Christian/ person is supposed to be. Even though technically, according to the Bible, there are no good people. We are all unworthy. But Christ taught love. And I also understand their are Christians that aren't like this. I think Pastor Rob is a great example. And if this is how he leads his congregation, I'm sure they are great people as well. We are all human. And I believe no matter what your beliefs are, we can all use more love and understanding towards one another.

Hey! You seem like good people so I’ll try to be nice, but you’re level of understanding on evolution and genetics is quite embarrassing. Nobody ever said humans evolved from chimpanzees (or cats, or fruit flies etc....), the observation based on the evidence is that ALL animals share a common ancestry (including humans). Some creatures are “closer” to certain others, some are much much further removed from each other. The fact that we share a lot of dna in common with every other creature alive on the planet only backs up this observation. To reiterate, we did not evolve from chimpanzees! We and chimpanzees share a relatively recent common ancestor, hence the genetic similarity being so high in comparison to the other animals you mentioned. I’m really not an expert and even I can understand this at least to a very basic level. On a positive note, hope you keep listening to new and interesting music!

There is another thing about the "evidence" concerning evolution. Alot of this evidence is used daly in all kinds of medicine and biology. This kind of evidence scratches the paint of the other way of seeing the evidence that supports some kind of intelligence behind it all. You should have a look at some biological research videos. Inside natures giants is a good series.

[@ancapsnek]

Chris Cartwright, I agree to a large extent with the points you made. I just wanted to point out, in all fairness, that the same points back up his creationists beliefs. If God made everything, then it makes sense that he might use the same "building blocks" in all his creations. In fact, I have a hard time seeing why evolutionists and creationists are always at each others throats, when neither side can say for certain that God did not create humans *using* evolution.

This used to be my favorite song as an atheist and award winning artist. I fell into the occult and suffered the consequences of it, long story short I came to the end of myself and felt this strong urge to read the Bible my cousin had tried sending to me once, but I rejected and threatened him. Then to contact him, asking him to forgive my behavior and please send it to me again. I opened the book of John and had a radical encounted with the risen Lord, the one I had rejected and blasphemed my whole life. This was in 2016, I threw my life in the garbage there and then realizing that I had been wrong about absolutely everything. I have preached the Gospel ever since and felt that I had to search for a reaction to this song tonight at work. 'Stumbling' upon your reaction to it, God bless your beautiful family.

Love the song, appreciate your thoughts on the theology side of it, but I just want to throw some education at your understanding of evolution. You are quite outspoken when someone misinterprets Christianity but seem to be hypocritically dismissive when it comes to evolution, something that you seem to know very little about and have massively misinterpreted. I'm going to lay out a quick argument here, but please look into the science yourself; there is only so much one can say in a KZbin comment. Evolution does not say that we came from monkeys. Or that we are closely related to any other animal. What it does say is that "In the beginning" (see what I did there) life began through some process (probably a chemical reaction though I cannot rule out Divine Intervention) and then over billions of years and countless generations, that life mutated to adapt to changes in it's environment. Humans did not evolve from monkeys... Humans evolved from humans. But at some point in the VERY distant past, all primates (including humans) share a common ancestry. All that that means is that millions of years ago, that common ancestor split up into different groups and became separated and then each group began adapting separately to their environment. Over thousands of generations, they became separate species and one of those became us. The fact that we share DNA with all other known life on this planet is itself evidence that all life came from a common source. How similar our DNA is to, say, a fruit fly, is evidence of how long it has been since our common ancestor split up (for humans and fruit flies it's been a LONG time; 60ish percent is a very low number). If you really don't believe in evolution, you might want to research how agriculture works. Selective breeding and genetically modified organisms (GMO's) are just fancy terms for humans artificially evolving crops and livestock to be better food sources. Also, all the geological and cosmological evidence point to the Earth being here for a VERY long time. If you don't believe that, then I can understand why evolution would be difficult since evolution takes millions of years to have a noticeable effect. Please do educate yourself if you're going to actively ridicule something. I'm really not trying to be malevolent here, I just think it's important to counter misunderstandings of how science works, just as you think it important to counter misunderstandings of Christianity.

Thank you very well spoken. I couldn't of said it any better. But I doubt they'll listen.

[@joannagannon1384]

Interestingly enough, there is something in chemical thermodynamics called “the seed hypothesis.” Essentially, it posits that the chemical process required to “create life” couldn’t have taken place on the conditions we know to have existed on earth at the time. Chemical processes require very specific amounts of either endothermic or exothermic energy. Furthermore, particular agents denature under certain conditions as well. So, without some some of external intervening force, life would never have come to be. I should note, I am a Christian, so my worldview is biased, but much of my scientific research is actually led me toward the existence of God. I’m not a creationist, per se, though. I believe God created all that there is, but his “days” are quite more like eons, which could be an appropriate translation from the original text in Genesis. But I do appreciate your well written and succinct explanation of evolution.

[@mitchettie1581]

[@damonspam]

Nicely put, A simplistic argument for evolution I would put to a Christian is Noah, if you believe the Bible that Noah and his family were the only people on earth after the flood, how do you explain all of the different races and religions of the world? If the Bible is correct then we all share a single common ancestor. Given the 3000-4000 years since the flood (taken from creation.com/the-date-of-noahs-flood) we've manged to colonize much of the planet and become a rainbow of different colors, talents and beliefs. That's only 150-200 generations, and look how different we all are, short, tall, fat, thin, brown, white, Christian, Atheist, Muslim, Hindu, Hare Krishna etc, smart, not so smart haha. Where do you think we'll be if we're given 4.5 billion years? Would any of us look like Noah anymore? will we even be on earth anymore?
