The Petra Zone

Mr. Mountain Man So since I dont put all muslims in the same box and claim they all believe in the same extremist interpretation God must be very angry at me? Seeing other people from more than one angle is against God's will? What you actually seem to imply is that not picking side politically and ...

Well it never was my intention to sound pro islam and thus I have no problem accepting the fact that there is a lot of violence in the religion. My only point is that what a religion is - at least practically speaking - is not only a question of what a certain holy text might say but just as much ho...

I think your reply, Brent, makes it quite clear why some people ban all kinds off religion as being basically the same, namely fundamentalism. Their claim is that all religion is dangerous, because all religious people are so certain that they are ultimately right. Your "us of them" statement is stu...

There is a number off quotes from the Bible that most christians either in or out of context would not understand litterally but metaphorically. I'm in no way pro islam. I just find it a bit ridicioulus when religious people blame other religious people for having to interpret their holy book. The o...

Trump wants to discriminate because of religion, he has a dicriminate approach to women, he wants to reinforce certain kinds of torture, has showed a shocking willingness to use nuclear weapons, wants to build a physical wall, has lied over and over again in the campaign and has a dangerous approach...

Examples?

These are depressing days. While I feel obliged to actually show an intellectual interest in the political debate some of Trumps statements, his lies, his opinions on women, Islam, the use of nuclear weapons, Putin and so on are so far beyond the scope of what is respectable. I get in the mood of gi...

While it was interesting to read the stuff I'm by absolutely no means surprised. I mean, even bands like Petra, have put a lot of focus on themselves. And before you give me an angry reply take a look at backstage pass, take a look at any other video by them. Take a look in their covers and so on. L...

The dream team lineup is the only Petra lineup I see having any kind of future, or perhaps a future depending on past merits. If these guys would play together again, it would be the real deal in a nostalgic sence. Some of you may know of personal conflicts making a real reunion impossible. But from...

I don't believe they are done. Not that I've got high hopes about anything big. But I believe they will continue to play now and then. It's too late to take a break and come back big time after the break. So they can quit or continue in some form. I believe they will choose the latter. Probably the ...

Is it David Lichens playing the guitar?

If they don't want to tour with the dream team lineup, I don't think there is much hope left for a comeback. However they might tour with this lineup save one of the original members. I would show up if there was a replacement for Louie, Ronny or Lawry. But the whole thing needed to be thought of as...

Never liked the vocals too much either. Rex is a very talented guitar player. But very predictable too.

I guess the main problem is that they haven't allowed their fans to miss them. I mean, they never really took a break, they never really retired and therefore they have just been around for a very long time and a lot of older fans seem to think that what they are doing is quite desperate. After ten ...

Well I agree that it is off topic. But why is it that important? Is it because you really don't like discussions or disagreements? Is this something we cannot talk about? Scared of talking about hell? Scared of confronting Brent's very unfeeling statement about hell? I find it very interesting to di...
