	[S4C]Nic, Turn Your Back! Nicolas Dunn	THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT, First jimmys gone now you get rid of jason, this is not fucking haste the day anymore change your name, i look in disgust upon you   Posted by [S4C]Nic, Turn Your Back! on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 5:26 PM [Reply to this]

	Holypalooza Concert	I think this is what you call wisdom on the part of the band. As for Jimmy, I believe he was ready to be family man at home and have carreer with Tooth n Nail. People have a right to live their lives just like Jason, but do you have any idea what it takes to be in a band on this level let alone what it takes to get there? I was not introduced to Haste the Day until like a year ago or at least with the release of their previous album, so I am a new fan. I've met them all and seen them perform live. That's all I know, and I am personally empowered by their music and message. Crusing down the road cranking Pressure the Hinges, White Collar, Stiches, etc. is one of my favorite past times. Have a LARGE day. +Steven Seshun PS just for that comment Imight book them for Holypalooza this year afterall, heh!   Posted by Holypalooza Concert on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 3:07 AM [Reply to this]

	Dreamer [Save the Fish] Micheal Dennison	1: Your an idiot. 2: Jimmy didn't get let go because of his disbeliefs. He is still a strong Christian and it was his own choice to leave. Have you ever seen his last show? It will tell you everything you need to know. Jerk.   Posted by Dreamer [Save the Fish] on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - 5:01 PM [Reply to this]

	}RT{BiGT	then dont listen anymore dude...get off this blog and dont support HASTE THE DAY anymore. they did what they felt was right as a band...not either try to go on despite someone in their band didnt believe in what they were doing or break up like most bands these days just because the only thing everyone had in common was that they wanted to be in a band. haste the day knows that their band is more about the message they share and loving on their fans rather than trying to make the next best album or the next hardest album and sell as many cliche shirts as they can and try to get as big as they can. thanks for staying true to what yallselves despite leaving two members. yall may have changed as band musically and in terms of members, but yalls heart behind the band and purpose as a band hasnt changed since day one. thanks for not selling out. i love you guys.   Posted by }RT{BiGT on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - 5:07 AM [Reply to this]

	xBrentx F.A.C.A	say what you will nic, but only after youv kept in mind the choices youv made in your life to strive closer to the lord. haste the day will always be haste the day. haste the day has helped me grow closer to the lord. clearly nic doesnot understand.   Posted by xBrentx F.A.C.A on Monday, July 21, 2008 - 7:01 AM [Reply to this]

	Ømar Omar Lopez	dood understand its kind of imposible for you to have someone involved in something he doesnt belive in the bands foundation is on christ and if someone doesnt belive in that then its imposible to go on your only as strong as your weakest link and if jason was a weak link then he has to go in order for the band to go on and the band is more than just the members. the main one is jesus christ i know its hard to understand for those who dont belive in him but thats whats up yeeee   Posted by Ømar on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 9:52 PM [Reply to this]

	TR1CKY N1NJA Andrew lagos	that pretty much sums it up, you can call yourself a christian bad and keep him and people will be like "What the heck, your a christian band with someone who doesnt belive in God?!" either way keeping Jason or asking him to leave they are gonna get crap for it. they did the right thing. God bless HTD, and Jason! good luck.   Posted by TR1CKY N1NJA on Saturday, July 19, 2008 - 6:20 AM [Reply to this]

	Nick [BMTBlumpkin]™ Nick Roberts	I know this is quite the horrible comparison, but look at Cannibal Corpse. They have 1 original member left, and he just got back in, so for a while, they had no original members. But that in itself had nothing to do with God or Jesus. It was a problem waiting to happen, out of their hands, just like this one. Jesus was a human, therefore he was not perfect, just as all humans were. He even doubted himself several times, as most Christians would know. He just had a divine gift. If Jesus were in a band, and started doubting himself or his religion when that is what the band originates from, he would find no trouble in leaving the band and finding his personal peace elsewhere. He would "turn the other cheek." And how dare you. Who are you pass judgment upon anyone? "I look in disgust upon you", what horrible words. "Let those without sin cast the first stone." Haste The Day is alive and well, they're spreading the word of the Lord and keeping it f**king metal at the same time! God Bless!   Posted by Nick [BMTBlumpkin]™ on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 6:20 PM [Reply to this]

	Stefan Emil Johansson Stefan Emil Johansson	not to nitpick but Cannibal Corpse actually has 2 original members left. Bassist Alex Webster and drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz, and i dont recall either of them ever leaving. there are plenty of bands though with 0 original members that carry on, but usually they justify that they became a different band somewhere down the line...either way haste the day still has 3 original members, shit happens.   Posted by Stefan Emil Johansson on Monday, July 21, 2008 - 7:20 AM [Reply to this]

	Ømar Omar Lopez	actually dood he was perfect if he was not perfect then his death on the cross would have been in vain we needed A PERFECT LAMB one WITHOUT BLEMISH   Posted by Ømar on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 9:55 PM [Reply to this]

	Justin	Jonathan, well said. Theologically Jesus DID have to be perfect or his death would have been just any ol' other death. But it's not, He rose, and those who believe have eternal life. Amazing isn't it? This sounds like a topic for another thread tho... Anyway... although it's sad to hear news like this, and no doubt hard for the band, it is completely understandable. As someone who used to be in a band with members of differing beliefs and values, it makes things very very difficult, and it affects everything. I'd say lets show our support for HTD, because they are continuing to give us music and perform for us, so let's pray for them and encourage them back.   Posted by Justin on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - 4:05 PM [Reply to this]

	That one guy	I would like to see some verses saying that Jesus doubted himself and his perfection.   Posted by That one guy on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 9:03 PM [Reply to this]

	Josh-wa	dude, Jesus was the only perfect human to ever live. thats why he was able to sacrifice his life for us, innocent blood had to be shed. if Jesus was imperfect then there He is no better than us.   Posted by Josh-wa on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 8:51 PM [Reply to this]

	GIORGORDANOROTH	Cannibal Corpse have always had at least TWO original members: Alex on bass and Paul on drums. Always, every album.   Posted by GIORGORDANOROTH on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 7:31 PM [Reply to this]

	Simplex Design[is DEAD]	Wow dude, honestly grow up. Haste the Day is a band. Bands change. Its life. I have more respect for you guys to making such a tough call. Being in a band that long with a dude would be like losing a brother. Its hard. But you gotta put ministry first.   Posted by Simplex Design[is DEAD] on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 5:37 PM [Reply to this]

	... That One Guy Titus Fox	Ridiculous and selfish. They're going through all this, and cuss at them for staying true to their beliefs? pathetic. You guys are awesome, and I know this has gotta be killing all of you. All five of you have my prayers.   Posted by ... That One Guy on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 5:35 PM [Reply to this]

	[S4C]Nic, Turn Your Back! Nicolas Dunn	this a perfect example of relegion getting in the way, it should be about the music not the persons belief so don;t call me selfish you piece of shit. relegion judges one, once again   Posted by [S4C]Nic, Turn Your Back! on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 5:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Chuck Chuck M	then what is the point of having a christian metal band if your guitarist is an atheist? And it wasnt the religion that judges him there aint shit in the bible about that it was the bands desicion to kick him out   Posted by Chuck on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 8:46 PM [Reply to this]

	Mike Michael Randolph	dude you are missing the point entirely. the band's foundation is their beliefs, and a house divided against itself shall not stand   Posted by Mike on Sunday, July 20, 2008 - 5:17 AM [Reply to this]

	TR1CKY N1NJA Andrew lagos	wow they arent judging dude, they are a christian metal band, again as i said before and other peopl have to. you cant call yourself something like a christian band and not practice the christian part or leave out the christian part in your live. its like that for everything you cant tell someone not to do something and you do it. they are not judging. its simple really Christian band Christian members he doesnt believe in God so whats the point of being appart of something he doesnt believe in.   Posted by TR1CKY N1NJA on Saturday, July 19, 2008 - 6:28 AM [Reply to this]

	JON	look at the lyrics to one of disciple's songs "it's not about the music it's about our God" God comes first in everything. you will be in my prayers as will haste the day.   Posted by JON on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 9:57 PM [Reply to this]

	canadianjosh Josh Gordon	Christianity isn't a religion. Its not man seeking God, its God seeking Man. Those guys made the right choice and fulfilling God's will for that band they were only be successful with that upcoming album. We all need to pray for the band and for Jason, that he'll find his way again. You meet these guys in person and tell me they are all about religion? Yeah right. These are some hardcore Jesus lovers, and religion has no part in that.   Posted by canadianjosh on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 5:49 PM [Reply to this]

		There's real judgment here. And they have judged rightly that it would be a bad idea to take an apostate like Jason along with them. They have rightly judged. "You have rightly judged." --Jesus Christ in Luke 7:43   Posted by on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 6:09 PM [Reply to this]

	Prelude to Perfection	I know it was a hard decision, but I admire you for not compromising what you believe. Although I understand things from Jason's point of view (I used to be a Christian and now question it) you ARE a Christian band and if your purpose is to spread God's love, it would be hypocricy to claim to stand firmly in your beliefs and to represent Christ when you had a member who does not believe at all.   Posted by Prelude to Perfection on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 5:34 PM [Reply to this]

	Florida in less than 2 months! Jason Parker	I've had the pleasure to meet all of you,even as HTD with Jimmy and with Stephen. You are a very talented,honest,sincere,band and even more so people. Jason may have lost his faith and belief in god,but god hasn't abandoned Jason.Nor will he ever. I do pray that both the band and Jason continue on in a positive manner,and that happiness and success follows you all throughout life's journey! God and hope are eternal. Bet wishes, and much love goes out to you all. I look forward to the new cd,and hopefully seeing you all again. Jason...take care bro,and remember you have a TON of people who care about you!

	Paul. {TSOFWA}	Although i myself come from a deep christian background i must say that this was not a reason for making someone to leave. i've been in bands all my life and it's very difficult to find a replacement. I'm sorry but i've lost alot of respect.   Posted by Paul. {TSOFWA} on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 5:35 PM [Reply to this]

	Shane {Is The Mountain}	I agree with Paul, I am catholic but dont follow it what so ever, yes i believe in God, but he hasnt shown me much love yet...but to kick him out for his beliefs i think is a bad move. I could see if he became a Satan worshipper and then its understandable, but sometime in your life you have to question whats real and whats not, some people get a "sign" or something that lets them know jesus is there, others dont always see that sign, probably what Jason see's, and so far myself. Its sad to see this happen over something so small, Good Luck Jason and Haste The Day....and if its true what they say about Jesus, he never gave up on anyone   Posted by Shane {Is The Mountain} on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 5:43 PM [Reply to this]
