“I was always referred to as ‘the evil little bastard’ in my family. I just fell into it, and it’s the persona I’ve had ever since I was a little kid, through school and through everything else. I don’t even really know why, but do I get off on raising eyebrows and ruffling feathers? Fuck yeah, I do! Fifty-six years old and I still love getting a reaction out of folks. Most kids rebel, and I wanted to fight the powers.https://www.loudersound.com/features/glen-benton-talks-blasphemy-fatherhood-and-the-night-a-deicide-gig-got-bombed”

“When I was eight years old and forced against my will to participate in the Christmas play at the church my mother was a Sunday school teacher at, I was singing at the front of the church thinking, ‘How did I get myself into this shit?’https://www.loudersound.com/features/glen-benton-talks-blasphemy-fatherhood-and-the-night-a-deicide-gig-got-bombed”

“Religion is a three-legged dog, and it’s on its way out. I think people know how to treat each other, and don’t need a book full of bullshit to tell them how to do it.https://www.loudersound.com/features/glen-benton-talks-blasphemy-fatherhood-and-the-night-a-deicide-gig-got-bombed”
