Culture: Sounds like this woman has a crisis of faith

  • Had anyone told me in February 2006 that I would be a Muslim before April rolled around, I would have shaken my head in concern for the person’s mental health.

  • Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu • KoRn’s bassist. He quit drugs and alcohol cold turkey after his father told him his dying wish was for the dude to find God. He’s the second guy from KoRn to go all Jesus freak – Brian “Head” Welsh quit the band and went religious loudly and with much criticism from fans. Fieldy could be setting himself up for the same, as the admission comes with a new book. • source
