Jeff Hanneman RIIP and Eli Hates Us All

Listed under May 2nd on Wikipedia's Death in 2013 site:
Jeff Hanneman, 49, American guitarist (Slayer), liver failure.[6]
The origins the name Jeffery http://www.behindthename.com/name/geoffrey references the variant Godfrey (meaning God Peace). His surname comes from Irish, Ó Hannagáin, meaning "delay" and so "God Peace Delay". 

So God's Holding back Peace... WHY?!

The bands name "Slayer" peaked my curiosity.  Note Slayers list of albums:



Out of 12 albums, 7 of the titles have a Religious theme, and so along with his name, it's definitely in keeping with the "Religious/Christian" pattern-cluster theme as of late... albeit some would claim the band to bee "Anti-Religious/Anti-Christian".  

Note the following wiki excerpt re Slayers God Hates Us All  album:
 the eighth studio album by American thrash metal bandSlayer. Released on September 11, 2001
Note these other excerpts:

King told Guitar World:
I definitely wanted to put more realism in it, more depth. God Hates Us All isn't an anti-Christian line as much as it's an idea I think a lot of people can relate to on a daily basis. One day you're living your life, and then you're hit by a car or your dog dies, so you feel like, "God really hates me today."[3]
The lyrics are in reference to God's allowance of acts such as suicide and terrorism, while seemingly doing nothing to prevent them[1][4] (see problem of evil)
A lot of people have problems with God/Goddess that-- for all those things that go bump in the night.  Hence a lot of people feel there's no a god... or goddess.  Even the bible says that Jesus questioned God when on the cross:
 Matthew 27:46Around the ninth hour, Jesus shouted in a loud voice, saying "Eli Eli lama sabachthani?" which is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Christians put Jesus on a pedestal in line with God, butt from what I gather, he was just a man (whether real or imaginary) who had his share of doubts like any person. Note the translation of Eli :(HebrewעליModern ʻEli Tiberian ʻĒlî, meaning "Ascent"; Ancient GreekἬλιor "God most high/God on high", Ḗli; LatinHeli, عالي ArabicA'ali‎).  It's strange the "heli"... and note how close eli is to French "Elle", meaning "She".


Pretty strange the album release date being... 9/11... nott to mention the fact that there are 111 days left in the year!!! 

So what do I believe?!  I believe that there is a greater power that created life and all the beauty and ugliness, butt I also believe that our existence here on earth is like a baby's life in the womb.  Our ability to fathom a greater existence outside of this life is about the same as the fetus' ability to fathom a greater existence outside of the womb.  With that said, what the fetus can or cannot fathom has nothing to do with being born.  I think the same is true in this world... it doesn't matter what we fathom or what we believe, we're simply going to go with the flow ready or nott.  

"Nature" designed our brains so that we can interact with it-- wield it as a tool, butt to do so wisely... and this interaction will bee what saves us in the greater scheme of things.  That's what I believe, which was no doubt influenced by Tou and the inner twin world.
