Elliott Douglas, aka M.A.G.S., has released his new single Sins, out now via Smartpunk Records.
“In church you’re taught to have faith and trust that God has a plan for you,” he comments. “Especially when you’re young and impressionable, this can actually be very damaging because it doesn’t require you to think, you just BELIEVE. When you get older and start to ask those big questions, 99.9% of the time the pastor or leaders at your church won’t have the answers you’re looking for, no one actually does… but that won’t stop them from trying to reprogram you.
“You’re shamed for questioning your faith, having sex, showing your body, or even just having different opinions about what’s really going on. Our country is full of people like me who were forced out of religious establishments simply because they weren’t given space to think differently, and it is very easy to become spiteful and turn away from God altogether.”
