Yes people, he really is saying he loves Jesus Christ. And it's NOT a RELIGIOUS thing for him.

From an interview with Jeff Mangum by Mike McGonigal for Pitchfork:

"The thing about me singing about Christ; I'm not saying 'I love you Christianity.' I'm not saying 'I love all the fucked-up terrible shit that people have done in the name of God.' And I'm not preaching belief in Christ. It's just expression. I'm just expressing something I might not even understand. It's a song of confusion, it's a song of hope, it's a song that says this whole world is a big dream-- and who knows what's gonna happen."

[thecrimsonkelpie]

"To me, it's like I'm expressing something that's within me that I can't really explain that really has nothing to do with religion. My love for Christ has more to do with what he said and what he believed in. Then the church put all this fucked-up bullshit around it and made it all this really evil thing at times. If you attach man to anything, he's gonna fuck it up somehow, one way or the other."

[thecrimsonkelpie]

"My only thing with this record is that I feel like the record is very spiritual, but I don't consider it to be religious. And I just hope that when people hear me sing about Christ in the beginning, I hope they understand where I'm coming from in terms of the spiritual aspect of the record can be enjoyed." --Jeff Mangum

[Thomas Mitchell]

Guys it's not addressing Jesus. "Jesus christ" is used for emphasis, like "god damn" or "holy shit"

[thecrimsonkelpie]

No, it's not just for emphasis. Please read previous comments discussing this issue. It's been discussed to death... and everyone knows there's no use in kicking a dead discussion.
