Thoughts On God From Chris Martin (Coldplay)

In the current Rolling Stone, Chris Martin of Coldplay offers his thoughts on faith.

"I went through a weird patch, starting when I was about sixteen to twenty-two, of getting God and religion and superstition and judgment all confused. I think a lot of our music comes out of that. I definitely believe in God. How can you look at anything and not be overwhelmed by the miraclelousness of it? Everything from the carpet to your nose to my balls is amazing. In fact, my balls are a particular miracle."

Martin could no longer wrap his head around the idea of hell, particularly when it was linked to sexual morality--though that was hardly the only reason he wasn't getting laid.

"I didn't know what I was doing. I wish somebody whould have come to me when I was fourteen and explained how to give an orgasm. And it's very strange being the world's sexiest vegetarian because eight years ago, if I'd invite someone over to my place for a tofu burger, they wouldn't be interested."

He started out going to church when he was young and believing in a Christian God, the article says, though he also poins out, according to the article, that it's not the same God as "those crazy fundamentalists like George W. Bush." He said of singing in church: "Everybody singing together is the best feeling in the world."
