Commenting on GHOSTS 24 video posted on youtube by ominousmaximus.
He made note of the fact that he was a Christian and didn't necessarily agree with NIN views
but liked the music.
His comments and others struck me, which lead me to comment a few times.
Reposting here - so I can easily reference it.

"The video is good - a little long though.
But the feeling is there.
On the topic of your faith, don't assume that all NIN fans are athiest, faithless dopes. NOT the case at all. In fact I don't even believe TR is a faithless person. If you listen closely to his lyrics, I would say he's someone digging deep into himself, exposing the hypocrites that hide behind their religion (every organized religion.) Many people seem to live their lives blind, without a thought of what is right, and common sense is lacking.
Faith cannot be taught, it is found in the deepest places of your heart, mind, body and soul, and is a personal journey. NIN lyrics can be controversial, but VERY thought provoking and that is what the real intention is. Music is a personal experience as well. The instrumental aspect is left to our own interpretation. Every musical sound can heal, excite, soothe, etc. And that is absolutely magical and no one can tell you it's wrong. "

Response to one of the comments made to ominousmaximus stating he was a hypocrite because he likes NIN music and yet he is a Christian:
"oh the hypocricy of it all. The magical thing about music is that it is left to our own personal interpretation. For instance - the song Heresy, my interpretation is not exactly the literal surface meaning of the words. The overall meaning to me is exposure of those that hide behind their religion (any organized religion) and live their lives blindly, lacking common sense.You take one song and call this guy a hypocrite. That's ignorance. "
