In this week’s The New Yorker the musician who has sometimes been accused of being a team player himself says, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’” while tapping his Bible. If you didn’t know Prince is a serious Jehovah’s Witness member.

Prince also goes on to talk about the country’s economic failure being tied in to religion:

“People with money—money like that—are not affected by the stock market, and they’re not freaking out over anything. They’re just watching. So here’s how it is: you’ve got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this.” (points to Bible)
