Re: Axl Rose's Religion
Personally, while I respect it's his private business so I wouldn't snoop into it, if he did publicly come out with his religious views I'd be curious to know what he believes. As it's nice to get some perspective on the minds that create this stuff.
Although sometimes it's best to separate the art from the artist's views.
Good example is the composer Wagner..who wrote pretty impressive music but was apparently an anti-Semite.
Re: Axl Rose's Religion
Wagner's anti-semitism should be taken in with consideration of the cultural climate in late 19th century Deutschland. The jews had been pitted against the Germans for a while there, much like one sees Croats against the Serbs, or even muslims against Christians.
The 'otherness' is what creates a certain group of 'us', and another consisting of 'them'. This does not exclude friendships, marriages and families between members of these groups, as in its softest form, the separation stigmatizes masses rather than individuals. Wagner himself held many friendships with Jews and had no qualms about their faith.
Was he wrong as an individual to chastise the Jewish composers like Mendelsohnn? You bet, but there's more to the story than simply Wagner being an anti-Semite. Mendelsohnn, for instance, had received a copy of an early Symphony by Wagner, then a fledgling composer. The would-be mentor then went and lost his copy, so there's a personal grudge element involved already.
Anti-semitism, like any unwarranted discrimination, is condemnable in my opinion, but if we choose to pass judgment, we should remember that justice is built upon the facts. Otherwise, we end up with sorry witch hunts, which have never served to provide with a better society.

Re: Axl Rose's Religion
I know that I was walking a thin line when bringing up this topic, so please no one feel offending by any comment I made or anyone else's. to me, Axl Rose has seemed to be a highly spiritual person, and I knew discussion would benefit everyone to expand the knowledge that we know from interviews, documentaries, personal statements, etc.
