Hi neil, i've heard alot about your band, you guys were like the big thing right as i was starting highschool. I'm in a metalcore/post hardcore band called Blue Mouse Theatre. We would love to play a show with you guys.

However, we do profess to be Christians, and i just want to put in my say about that. You are generalizing a huge group of people. Are you saying that ALL christians are sexist/racist/homphobic? As can be seen by the often split, often arguing, very different churches, there is not "one big system" that controls all christian factions. I totally agree that some christians are exactly as you say, intolerant and judgemental, and it's a terrible thing. But if you instantly judge someone because they say they happen to believe in Christ instead of the absence of Christ, aren't you becoming just as intolerant as the portion of those christians that you are rallying against? You cannot just say that "Christians = hypocrites and that's the way it is and it will never change". That's closing you're mind just like the southern white pastors who still preach that black people are naturally more sinful than white people. I know that's a stretch, but it's an example of intolerance, which is NOT limited to the religious, or even the conservative.
