Do you still believe that Jesus is the way? Doesn't that biblical injunction deny that followers of other religions can enter paradise?
I don't accept that. I don't accept that fundamentalist concept. I believe, what is it? "The way is as narrow as the eye of the needle," and all that. But I think that's just to keep the fundamentalists out.... (laughs)
I never really accepted the whole "born again" tag. It's a great term, had it not been so abused. I accepted it on one level, in that I loved the idea of being reborn.... I think people should be reborn every day, man! You know, every day again and again and again! At 20 years old, this idea of "surrender every day," this idea of "dying to oneself" ... was so exciting! Then I came to America in 1981, the land of milk and the .357 Magnum. It blew my mind that this word "reborn" meant nothing.
What do you think of Prince's brand of salacious Christianity, which says that brilliant sex lights the way to paradise?
I just believe that Prince believes the same thing I do: that God is sex as well as love.
