I've seen a lot of fail. I've also seen "win" compilations. You get what you go looking for.

It will prove your view is not realistic.

Something about finding god in music. Something that makes no sense. Something that comes off quite often as schizophrenic ramblings of someone off their meds. No offense.

Sorry, what was that? Something something, grasping at straws, something something... if you think I could be offended by you then you don't know me very well at all, sir.

If I went in with the determination that I was going to find god no matter what, you better believe that I'd build me some cognitive dissonance and "find god". Theists do it every day on this forum. If you're bound and determined to find something to be pessimistic or 'depressed' (not clinically, but colloquially) about, you're going to find it. Junkyard is determined to see only the bad parts of the world. Shit in, shit out. You're right, it has nothing to do with realism, because a realistic person would weigh both sides of the situation, not just the one.
