Words and music by Mr. Brett
Atomic Garden
Brett: "It's about nuclear proliferation". There's a videoclip (filmed and edited by Gregor Verbinsky) that can be found in the video Big Bang. Blender recorded a cover version for the album Fuck Hell -This is a Tribute to Bad Religion, without actually knowing the lyrics to the song. During Atomic Garden in Las Vegas in 1999 Greg replaced Gorbachev's name with that of Slobodan Milosevic (that was in the middle of the bombing of Serbia).




Generator is an acclaimed album by the punk rock band Bad Religion. Although the album was completed in the spring of 1991, it was not released until 1992. It was also the band's first release with drummer Bobby Schayer, who replaced Pete Finestone during the Against the Grain tour. Today, Generator is remembered as one of the best albums to emerge from the early 90s punk scene, and one of the most enduring works of Bad Religion's career.

The album was originally planned for release sometime around mid 1991, but the band had decided not to release it. They wanted to take a break after the Against the Grain tour ended, so its release was forced to be delayed until early 1992.

Like Bad Religion's first four albums (minus Into the Unknown), Epitaph Records released a remastered version of Generator on April 6, 2004, with two exclusive tracks that were taken from the split 7" with Noam Chomsky issued by Maximum Rock'N Roll in 1991. These versions feature Finestone on drums, making it his final recordings with Bad Religion. The 1992 original version of the album on CD is now out of print.


Some parts by Greg from the book "is God, good, bad or irrelevant?"

I am convinced that, in time, as we abolisch the myth that truth is something larger than our naturalistic investigations, fewer and fewer people will find it necessary to subscribe to the supernaturalistic.


I interviewed the Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins about this topic and he put it this way: Things "out there" that haven't been discovered yet are "waiting to be drawn into embrace of naturalism. "

There is no metaphysical reality to God. God is an epiphenomenon of the human brain.

Evolution still hasn't caught on universally, particularly in the USA where children are taught ancient creation stories instead of modern evolution stories. I predict it will be another 100 years, if education isn't totally corrupted, before Americans understand and accept Darwinism.

In any event, children grow up and become university professors and join psychology departments. Then they write books with theses like "god exists in our neurons" or some other nonsense, completely mudding the issue of metaphysics.

If God is no more than neurons in action, God doesn't exists! It is the burden of the theist to demonstrate that God exists outside the neurons.

Attempting to show that the universe is elaborately designed doesn't discount evolution to any degree and it certainly doesn't suggest to me that there is a God. It just means some very elaborate things can materialize given enough time. (less info)
