Thread Name: Review: Bob Dylan's latest!: 'Modern Times'
Subject: RE: Review: Bob Dylan's latest!
If you have never considered religion as an option you may not be a wafler. If you have considered pragmatism, for instance and then find your self to be half pragmatic, half atheist then you vaccilate between two different philosophies, contrasting and opposing. So with the religion. dylan is not necesarily devoid of religious believes as he seems to implement ecclesiasticism in almost every album ever after Shot of love. But what a Dylan we see later,he defines deity through his vague eyes colored by his experience, and I am scared to think about the divinity that way. We might all have our own divinity then, if the divine is to be measured according to our standards. Isn't that scary? With this let noone understand that I am trying to say he is not known by the Divine. But only, he is different that Dylan lately describes it, not because I think so (that would be me doing the same, reducing Divinity to my own experience and the imperfect faculties of my brain) but because everything in nature suggest so.
