Armenian-American musician born in Beirut. Serj Tankian " About religion- My religion is the same as the trees out there. It's the same inspiration. Whatever moves them, moves me. I believe that we're animals. I know we are because we die and we eat and we ****. And all modern religions to me are false. All modern religions come from a time of what we call civilization. Civilization has only existed ten thousand years among millions of years of man being on this planet. Everything before civilization is called prehistory. The reason that I don't give credence to modern religions is because they are only partially true. Because they were started from after civilization. Therefore they all start from a place that's not already to me natural. So if you want to know what my religion is, it's the same religion as the native American, same religion as the Aborigine, as the Maori in New-Zealand, as the Kahunas in Hawaii. I believe in beginnings." http://wrestlingcasa.tripod.com/systemofadown/id171.html "SOAD’s lead singer Serj Tankian’s grandfather was raised in an American missionary orphanage in Armenia after his parents and family were exterminated. “I would not be alive if not for the American orphanages that raised my grandfather after the Armenian Genocide of 1915, so I have a lot of love and respect for the good things that America has and can continue to achieve,” Tankian told CMJ magazine. Religiously inspired hatred and violence is a deeply personal reality for these four musicians. We may forget. They cannot." http://www.ransomfellowship.org/Music_System.html

as long as you have faith and belive that some kind off god exists thats all that maters to most people.soad lyrics have morals,and values,there fore this shows that they have some sort of faith whatever it be.when ever were in trouble,lost or looking for direction we pray to who ever.ALL GREAT BEGININGS COME FROM SOMETHING

Wow, it sucks that a band with so much talent like SOAD does not believe in THE Jesus Christ,: ( It sucks that there's alot of people in the world that do not know what it's like to FEEL the love of Jesus Christ and i believe that at one point in everyone's life there will be a situation where God shows you that He IS real and that's something I KNOW will happen to this band. PEACE homeslicers : )
