  Ren captures his humanity then mirrors that out for us all. Humanity is all we have. Thats what we should be believing in.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VUlEBON4j8&amp;t=517">8:37</a> as an atheist, and I think i can speak for the majority of us in this case, we don’t think “good” and “evil” are mumbo jumbo and without meaning. We generally believe in good and evil, it’s just derived by and from natural law rather than from divine grant. Things can be good, and things can be bad or evil, but they aren’t good or bad because God or dogma claim it so, and name it as such. Good things are good because they are self-evidently good, and evil things are evil because they are self-evidently evil, and we (as humans) have a naturally derived sense of judgement that can tell the difference. We are a social creature, and so it is unsurprising, and frankly expected, that we would thus develop empathy because it engenders caring for others, which then fosters community which makes us safer. Actions that foster community and safety thus correspond to “good” because they lead to further community and more safety. Actions that threaten that community are thus “evil”. Lies, deception, theft, assault, murder, these are all things that lessen or weaken community and erode trust if not cause abject bodily harm or even death. A healthy safe community can’t allow its members to deceive, threaten, or even kill fellow members lest it become unhealthy and unsafe, so things that harm community becomes labeled as “evil”.<br><br>The three 6s, while symbolic of a concept of evil, aren’t evil in and of themselves (in the atheist world view, they eschews supernatural explanations in favor of naturalistic beliefs and expectations), and thus neither &nbsp;invite nor cause any real harm just for existing.

  This song starts with Ren in excruciating pain &nbsp;on the kitchen floor falling into 3-4 months of psychosis &nbsp;from an immune reaction to a new treatment attempt. &nbsp;He saved for 6 months and went through 10days of treatment and he was way worse. No wonder &nbsp;despair and bitterness arose.

  He released this song about two years ago. &nbsp;Ren talks about the years of suffering he went through in depth. &nbsp;His despair, his anger and disillusionment that he experienced at the time that he was going through this illness definitely drove his pen. &nbsp;Ren also talks about his realization that his suffering led to his success, and his acceptance of all of the years that he went through his disease leading to everything good that he has today. &nbsp;I appreciate his vulnerability and honesty. &nbsp;Ren has been through a rebirth of sorts that ensures many years to come of amazing music.

  I&apos;m a faithful person and this song is 100% my anthem as a chronic pain/autoimmune patient. I&apos;ve never found any other that speaks to my experience and life as spot on as this one does, and I&apos;m so thankful Ren held on to write it.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VUlEBON4j8&amp;t=372">6:12</a> respectfully, as a progressive, the idea of criminal justice reform isn’t about being kinder to criminals or not wanting to put them in these harsh conditions because we wouldn’t want to be there ourselves; the motivation seen through the lens of “love your neighbor” (wish and work towards the safety and wellbeing of your neighbor) is through an understanding of the circumstances that lead one to commit a crime. Crime emerges from an environment of desperation and often poverty, where legal options for survival and the ability to thrive are thin or unavailable. Simply punishing people for crimes committed when you don’t also address the context that birthed the crime isn’t tantamount to kicking someone when they’re down. It’s not about excusing the crime or forgiving it. It’s about recognizing why the crime is happening and making moves to fix the underlying issue leading people to choose crime. We care for our neighbor by making efforts to repair the community and fix/change the systems that break the community in the first place.

  I envy religious people for them having a shield against the brutal harshness of reality. I do not have a religion but I do have a belief. There just is no religion that matches up with my belief. However the bit about the seven sins are descriptive of some basic human traits, of our natural tendencies, and greed is indeed the worst one that will indeed affect us the most in the long run.

  If you pay attention closely, the first 3/4 of the song is the 7 deadly sins on his own life: Pride<br>Cursing God, maker, messiah, all of creation; “sinner man” who still wants the mic; Lust “Wanna be me” / greener grass — people lust after his pain-persona; Gluttony Consuming pain, dining with the coroner, body as feast; Sloth<br>Thirteen years stuck; bed as tomb/womb; can’t stand, only kneel; Envy The lookers-on; also him watching empires/universe collapse from bed; Wrath Bitterness → storm of aggression; MAC-10 ricochet pain; prophets buried; Greed Pay me my cheese — monetize the wreck

  Fear of the unknown preserves a religion is 100% on point for believers and non believers. &nbsp;Because no one in this life could understand the afterlife. Believer or not that line makes sense.
