Nergal BEHEMOTH Still Hates Christianity?

Nergal Behemoth
Nergal Behemoth
Issuing his first statements since the announcement that he has leukemia, Behemoth frontman Nergal had a lot to say. First off, he thanked all his fans for the outpouring of support. He then mentioned that Behemoth will be back on the road as soon as he is done with his treatments. Then, he had a few choice words for people who were saying he should now turn to Christianity due to his ailment. Yet another reason why Nergal is the man:

Finally, I want to comment on some opinions which, provoked by religious circles, lead to far-fetched and inaccurate interpretations. I was surprised to hear my illness became a pretext for some people to embark on their own crusade. Opinions suggesting I might come closer to God or abandon my ideals and grovel to the only correct world view in this country not only surprised but also frightened me. This is a typical example of supporting one's own views by preying on someone's misfortune. 'He fell ill so he will convert to Christianity, he will discover the religion he fought against is actually close to him.' Halt! Why should the illness change my point of view? It is true this is a difficult time for me and the thoughts of ultimate matters are hard to chase away.
