For the record, I never agree with sonhouse.
Actually, sonhouse is worth listening to when he's talking about music. (Have you heard any music by the guy he took his RHP name from? Go find some, it's worth it. On Wikipedia, search "Son House" for his bio.)
Religion, not so much.
Here's a great quote from Eddie James "Son" House, Jr.
“I’m sitting here playing the blues, and I play church songs too, but you can’t take God and the devil along together. Them two fellows, they don’t communicate together so well. They don’t get along so well. The devil believes in one way, and God believes in a different way. Now, you got to separate them two guys. How you gonna do it? You got to follow one or the other. You can’t hold God in one hand, the devil in the other one. You got to turn one of them loose. Which side do you think is the best? Well, I already was regenerated and born again. I was born in sin, now I got to regenerate myself to realize what a great creator is. I didn’t give up God.”
sonhouse: Don't know if you've seen this, but there is a great article on Son House on PureGuitar.com:
