Chris Motionless, the lead vocalist for Motionless in White, has many famous live-by quotes that many fans listen to. The Following was a quote from an interview about their video "Immaculate Misconception"
MESSAGE FROM CHRIS MOTIONLESS:
The main idea and main concern of mine was to basically parallel the 2 time periods of our band and all the open minded people in the world's present day life and the time period of Jesus' life and show how similar they are. I wanted to highlight the hypocrisy and hold a mirror up to all the self righteous, Holier-than-thou people and show them how full of s*** they are. We have our own beliefs and we aren't afraid to speak out about them, We are not satanists, We have a positive message towards finding self-worth and inner peace, We don't discriminate against ANYONE regardless of the way they look, their faith, sexuality, or race, and believe it or not, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Jesus Christ. Yet despite all these very moral and positive vibes, we are still constantly ripped apart for being who we are. Sounds really similar to what happened to the man the people that criticize us put all their faith in. The difference between myself and Jesus is that he was trying to convince people to believe in him and a higher power (God) to find salvation... Whereas *I'M* trying to convince people to believe in themselves. God does not control your life, YOU do.
My band and Myself are 100% completely aware that NOT ALL Christians or followers of any religion are close minded and do the things they do in this video. I've met SO many awesome people in my travels that are Christians etc.. and regardless of whether they like Motionless In White or not, they still know how to keep an open mind and be respectful. I don't want anyone watching this video to feel like they should be angry towards every person of any faith, or that we are attacking their faith directly. The song is very plainly written about the people who abuse God's name by using it to profit or cause harm to others emotionally or physically, but it's even more importantly written as a call to arms to ANY person in this world to come stand together to fight the ignorance that halts the progression of mankind. Hate me for that, I f****** dare you.

* I Admire Motionless In White. Motionless In White is a very large idol to me. Their lyrics picked me up in my darkest times. They taught me to be who I wanted to be, and to stop letting people's opinions get to me. I am confident because of Motionless In White. They started out as a high school band. Now they tour around the world, and have four big hit albums. They dress how they want to dress, they believe what they want to believe. I'm in two bands, two high school bands. I write music everyday. The lyrics of being open minded, and accepting everyone regardless of their appearances or beliefs, really guide me. I play and write everyday because of this band. I Hope one day to be as big, and as influential as Motionless In White*
