Thoughts on (and from) Moby...
Adele, the Existential Punk, provides some great excerpts from a recent interview with Moby in Relevant Magazine.
Here’s one of them:
“I ask Moby if he himself has ever steered someone toward the teachings of Christ. ‘I hope so,’ he says at first. Then he thinks about it, and his next answer appears truer to what might be called the overflow of his heart. ‘[But] I would never want to steer someone towards believing what I believe. If I belonged to a church, I would never want to steer someone towards my church. I would want someone to look at the Gospels and just read the Gospels and try and evaluate them with an open mind. I can’t do anything more than that. I don’t want to browbeat you; I don’t want to say, “If you don’t believe this, you’re going to hell.” That’s not my place. That idea makes me very uncomfortable – the idea of didactically trying to get someone to believe what I believe.’ “
Read the rest here.
(That, along with his über-cool permanent Scrabble room, makes Moby a good man in my book.)

That would be fun, Adele! 
If you haven’t caught it yet, Moby is on a recent episode of MTV Cribs (that’s where I found out about the Scrabble room — which is so cool and I wish I had a picture of it!).
