I've met a Jesus that wasn't Christian, an Abraham that wasn't Jewish, and an Elron that wasn't a Scientologist.

I remember reading an interview where someone asked him that. Lawal replied "I'm not practicing". Which is a rather unspecific, equivocal way of replying. I suppose it means that he believes and all that but isn't an adheerant to any of the rituals, custom or traditions.
