Popular singer and music producer Pharrell Williams recently revealed that he believes in God, asserting that it’s “incredibly arrogant” to deny the existence of a spiritual being....

“How do you see all the stars and think there’s nothing else out there?” he continued.

“It’s so incredible arrogant and pompous. It’s amazing that there are people who really believe that. It’s unbelievable.”...

“With no conversion, there’s no conviction. And with no conviction, there’s only confusion. You understand what I’m saying? If you don’t believe there is a change that is due to you then you will never, ever find it. Change won’t come and tap you on the shoulder. You have to be open for change.”


Go do a duet with Kanye or something. $#*! like this does not make me Happy.
