Just one more reason for me to appreciate this band :)

Who believes in what? anybody know?
:)

Its not based on anybody's personal beliefs but David's Jewish, and since Danny is Irish im only guessing he's an Irish catholic. Not too sure about john or mikey.

Me personally, I believe in more than one of the four and think it's cool that the symbol incorporates them all. maybe there are members of the band that, like me, believe in more than one religion.

I noticed that a number of different religions are represented in the symbol that is one the cover of Believe. What is the significance of the symbol?

We’re not a religious band. It is more of a spiritual symbol. We wanted to take the four religious symbols and intertwine them and mesh them together to symbolize unity. It’s more about a belief in one. This album is very positive and that is the message that we were trying to send this time.


Obviously the symbol on the cover correlates with the album’s title.

Yeah. It’s about a belief in yourself – a belief in humanity. We wanted something that would shed a little bit of light into such a dark world. A lot of the messages on this album are done in a positive way to try to instill a little bit of hope.

I believe its the unity of the fans. The fans are of different races, different religions. And its to symbolize the unity of the FANS religion. The fans coming together (at disturbed concert) all becoming one. :P I dont know thats how i see it.

Well that quote is from Dan himself so...

It doesn't mean one thing to everyone, thats's the beauty of it. :)

i'm an evangelical christian and i have a high respect for other beliefs...i was just wondering about the meaning that was written under the cross box.....was that a personal opinion?.....just wanted to know.

Under the cross box?....I'm lost....

where it tells you to click on the box...and there is a definition of christianity.....lol...that one....i'm not claiming to be any expert, it's just my belief system and i was wondering where he got the definition

Yes I see what you mean now. A little lopsided. Very little on Christianity and quite a lot of information on the other three. Where did the definitions come from?

HEY UGY!!!!!!!!!

I got it online from a disturbed page.

awesome ,i cant draw that symbol free hand its annoying Lol

I tried it too damm hard.

Like i said on the tattoos page thats why i want it done because it symbolises unity to me and i think it should be taken differently to everyone same as religion is different to everyone.

I have tried to draw it but i end up breaking things lol

Patience....... it is cool as hell (irony) when it is done, being drawn. Think it out and do it in layers.

I want to lol but it makes me angry

"AND THE UNCIVILIZED PEOPLE'S PAGANISM"

Excuse me? Uncivilized paganism? Believing in a religion other than yours does not make others uncivilized.

---------Edit 2:-----------------------
I think you should find a more credible source because those so called "definitions" are all based off of their personal experience/opinion/interpretations. I could write something and it would have just as much credibility as that person.

*sigh*

AND THE UNCIVILIZED PEOPLE'S PAGANISM

Your One Ignorant Kid You Know that, sorry guys I know this is an old thread, it caught My interest, and I was enjoying very much everyone's take on the 4 religions and what they mean in relation to Disturbed, until I came to this kid's explanation. Kid I'll cut You some slack because I remember being Your age, and being that stupid, take it from someone who has crossed through the crucible of flames and enlightenment that is breaking away from the dogmatic view of the church.

First of all, You misspelled Mohamed lol, but yes He is the central figure in Islam. And Yes, You get a gold star for recognizing that Jesus is the main figure of Christianity. As far as Judaism, it's not so much "Father Abraham" as You so put it (God I hated that song: "father Abraham had many sons, many sons had father Abraham", to anyone who has herd that song, You know what I am talking about lol), the central figure of Judaism is Jehovah or "God" to put it simply. Judaism is a fascinating religion to study actually, some specific sects of Judaism don't believe You go anywhere after You die, that took Me for a loop the first time a Jewish girl told Me about that specific belief. Not to mention Kabbalah (please forgive Me if that is misspelled) is fascinating, and I'm not talking about Madonna's Kabbalah, that Hollywood latched onto for a time. I'm talking about the real belief, it's almost kind of a white magic in many ways, there are spells, seals of magical significance, and other mystical practices. In all honesty, it seems to have a few parallels to Wicca, as far as I can tell. It was said that King Solomon, had the ability to conjure and control both Angels and Demons, so they could do his bidding, I'm not kidding folks, look it up.

But where You REALLY got off the tracks was on the "Uncivilized-Pagan's" mumbo jumbo that You are puking out. It makes me sad when I see talk like that, show's true ignorance and an unwillingness to learn about others and appreciate them for their differences, instead of hating them. Think of it this way kid, Native American Indians are "Pagans", what does this mean, well they worship Nature, as does Wicca, and the Native Americans I have met in My life, have been some of the Nicest and Most Civilized People that I have ever encountered. They have many wonderful stories a lot of the times :), and I love to just sit and listen to their fables of old. Not to mention I have some Cherokee blood in Me, and I'm quite proud of that. The uncivilized people were the Europeans who came to their so called "New World" and decided that they wanted the land that the Native Americans were on, so they gave them blankets covered with Small Pox, yeah, one of the true early uses of biological warfare. And most Native Americans greeted these Europeans with open and welcoming arms, if they had been smart, they should have set fire to the boats the min they hit shore. As for Wicca, I have known many Wiccans in My time, and the Vast Majority of them are the Nicest, Most Peaceful People You are ever going to meet. I believe that they even have a rule that is very similar to Christianity's "You Reap, what You Sue", and the Buddhist and Hindu's concept of Karma. Which says something to the effect of, if You attempt to hurt someone with Your magic, You shall receive that hurt back onto You 10 fold (I may be incorrect of a few of the minor details, but the general idea is there, please forgive any discrepancies).

Keep in mind kid, I'm a Christian to, but what was Jesus truly about, don't go read the Bible, or to Your church, You believe that he lives within Your heart, Your Soul yes, then why don't You ask him. If You honestly listen, the answer may be far different than what You expect . Open Your eyes young one, and see the truth.
