Personally, I think that it is the stupidest, and yes "creepiest" thing I have ever seen. Trent Reznor, is a human being, a musician, and a friend to many people. Yes, I believe in art, yes, I believe in good music, I think Trent is a genius with music, but other than that...well, that's it. I can see why he would find this shit creepy... do any of you actually listen to his music? His lyrics? Using stuff like "you get me closer to god" has nothing to do with Trent thinking of himself as "God" so not sure why anyone would reference that. I don't want to start a fight, I just think that people should realize that Trent is a person no matter what, not a god, not jesus, not a saint, not anything but an animal like the rest of us. No, I don't believe in "God" I just think it's stupid to label a person as such...it seems to me that gives any one person way to much power...

Do you think him using the lyric "I am turning into God" was literal, or do you think that he meant that this is how others see him? Not sure, but I still feel that he doesn't in any way feel like a god.

Uh, why so serious? Jeez.
No, I bet most of us haven't heard his music or listened to the lyrics, please, help us out here.
Where am I? What is this place? I am so confused!

Ummm... I think it is perfectly fine for someone to express their opinion, like I said, I wasn't trying to start a fight, but there are way too many people in here who use Trent in the context of "god" I see it almost every time I am in a Forum of some sort. As far as the whole lyric thing, I was referring to the people who repeatedly use "you bring me closer to god" to reference Trent in that way.

So...when someone says "Trent is a GOD!"... you actually believe that they think he supplied the text in the Bible or that the man on the cross is REALLY Trent? That Trent gave his only begotten son so that we could be forgiven for our sins and all the other hokey bs that is Christianity?

There is a thing called "metaphor", and another called "exaggeration." Then there is this thing called "art".

So like, when I got done playing Fallout 3 and said "I LOVE this game!"... I am not actually going to attempt to marry it, have sexual relations with it or buy it fancy clothes and take it out to dinner.

See how that works?

Let me know if you need any more explanation.

In regards to the "not trying to start a fight"... well it's too late. It is akin to saying "You look like a dog, no offense" or "I'm not trying to be rude but I'd do your mom in the butt".

well christianity is really offensive and if i were trent and saw that i can understand the intention of the joke to place him in much greater importance than the mythical 2nd coming of jesus, but still be really offended 100x more than just seeing a normal christianity reference at the same time

A little early but that's 40 days after Easter, the Ascension.

it would be less creepy if the head wasn't so big.

why so offended? i think it's just stupid and funny. people take their religion, or other people's, far too seriously these days.

make a joke of anything but religion... christ, where's the fun in that?

That poster made me lul.
Kudos to whoever made it.

Some of you have way too much free time on your hands. Is that image supposed to be the art of resistance? It's so creepy it works. The proportion of the head gives it the power. If the head was set in proportion then it would be really creepy. The iconic reference is taken lightly. OK now back to work.

 

02/25/09 8:57 AM

eww...and look how dimensional his face looks in that larger post..heh heh..funnycreepy.

That King cake picture post is hilarious!

you guys are funny

 

02/25/09 9:20 AM

Yeah RIGHT. Like the crowd would really fear their dearest savior?! It would be FAR more realistic if the crowd was instead running towards Jesus Trent. Bowing before him, and attempting to rip pieces of flesh off as souvenirs. Wanting to feel his presence is truly real, as well as feel CLOSER TO GOD.

LMAO @ Buddy Christ

makes me think of Rob's video...

gosh, if you're so easily offended, maybe you should go out and join a church. you'll fit right in. winking smiley

the finger smiley Don't believe in any god but this one certainly give me the faith....hot smiley

 

02/25/09 10:12 AM

Wow. that's so weird. wait... am I the first person to discuss this? YAY!!!!!

i think of Trent as more the opposite of Jesus... he dispels all the religious crap and works with real-world things, not fantasy-land-heaven-hell crap.

 

02/25/09 10:12 AM

Lawl. Someone stop this madness.
