Billie Joe's Beliefs

Come on guys, how likely is it that this is a picture of the Armstrong's religious shrine??

Uh Huh....

Come on guys, a religious shrine? The only thing Billie Joe worships is his kids, music and beer. The skulls look like they were left over from Hallowe'en and thecandls are probably Adrienne's and the rest is probably junk and shit that has just been thrown there.

What makes you think it isnt just some random picture off the internet? We dont have a picture of their living room or kitchen, but a picture of their personal SHRINE gets posted on the internet!?!? WTF!

No, it is a pic from their old house, it was posted on GD.net a few years ago

OMG are you serious?!

..what's with the naked man-doll??

I see a pic of Joey!!

yeah! someone of you are atheist here? i am!

Yeah, but this thread is for BJ's Beliefs only, if you wanna chat come to TPDC

Is that why everything is right side up, neatly arranged and organized? how many people to YOU orangianze their "junk?"
That stuff could simply be there and displayed simply for decorational purposes, but far more likely it's there do to underlining religious conviction (whatever that may be.) Inference skills and common sense tells one that it's obviously there for a reason.
On the flip side, do you know BJ personally? Can you for sure that "The only thing Billie Joe worships is his kids, music and beer?" Can you say beyond a reasonable doubt that he has absolutely no religious conviction what so ever? What your saying is based on a perceived image of him brought forth by the media and your own idea of that way he lives based on that media. It's not based on knowing the man personally.

Well actually, he has been asked in interviews and stuff over the years what his beliefs are. And he has poked fun at various religions during shows over the years.

like? can you give an example of how he's mande fun?

Like in Massachusetts (sp?) 94 he made fun of Harry Chrisnahs.. or however you spell it.. called them Hairy Christians.

and called them all a satan-worshipping bunch of people.


Look, I'm not saying he doesn't have some belief in a 'higher power' or whatever, but I certainly dont think that he worships a certain religion.

That doesn't really say anything. " Hairy Christians?" that's just funny.

And He could simply be mocking, since the majority of the people their where probably young people, quite a few of them of non conformist verity, society's perception of them, which tends to label them as "Satan worshipers" or he was just saying it for shock value.

That's a rather fair conclusion I think. Based on what I think the "Shrine" tells me

anyway bj believes in music!

He also went to Christian pre-school and Sunday School when he was little. He seemed fairly jaded by the whole experience.. see Egos and Icons.

I went to Catholic School for Seven long and torturous years and after that I was rather religiously jaded myself. Then, after going though a bout of over zealous Religious conviction, I went though a rather agnostic stage which where I am now.

who's to say, that something similar didn't happen to Billie?

I am in exactly the same position, and I also agree that that is probably what happened to Billie!

...I'm a Hindu and even I think its funny...

Its Hare Krishnas, btw. Stupid street-preachy assholes.

If that hadn't been in 94, I would say its a reference to Life of Pi.

i'd like to see it! what is its name?
