"cause no one is gonna lose their soul"

- which, in theory, suggests "do whatever you want, nothing you do has any effect on who you really are."

"Love is my Religion" is sung by Ziggy Marley, a Rastafarian. According to Wikipedia, "Many Rastas are physical immortalists who believe the chosen few will continue to live forever in their current bodies. This idea of everliving (rather than everlasting) life is very strong and important." Perhaps that is the context of these lyrics. That being said, I'm not Rasta, and I don't hold those beliefs as truth. The song has a feel good sound and goes well with the religious variety we experienced in Asia. I didn't choose the song in as critical of a light as you now hold to it.

Interesting. I wonder who the chosen few are. Well, I'm always trying to figure out what people believe and then testing it against my concept of truth. My bad if I sounded critical of you having chosen the song, was just looking at the words as opposed to the feel good sound.

Awesome pictures! I think I still like the first video the best.
