This will get me in trouble...


After living only 20 somthing years i'm already sick and tired of hearing all the things that people associate with "God". From Crusades to Jihads the amount of things done in "God's" name is starting to look rediculous. I was beginning to think i was the only one who felt his way and then i found Voltaire. No, not the historical figure, the musician. He summed up some of the ridiculousness of humanity's 'knowledge' of God in a song called God Thinks. Here are the lyrics. You can find a fan video of the song at his myspace site (linked above). Now before you read the song and send me horrible messages about how humany can't be its own god, let me already say i agree with you. But if it is humans that put words into God's mouth we are essentially setting ourselves up as god and thus, the end of the song makes sense. (and i hopefully won't be murdered in my sleep for posting this)

Artist: Voltaire
Song: God thinks
Album: Almost Human
[" Almost Human " CD]

God thinks all blacks are obsolete farm eqipment
God thinks the Jews killed his son and must be punished
God thinks the white man is Satan
God, they know what God thinks

God thinks we should all convert to Judaism
God thinks we must all be Christians and
God thinks we should all embrace Islam
God thinks the only true religion is Hinduism

And I
I know what God thinks
God thinks you're a waste of flesh
God prefers an Atheist

God thinks all people like you are evil
God thinks all people like you are an embarassment to creation
self-righteous, judgemental, first to throw the stone
and use His name for your own protection

God thinks the sun revolves around the Earth
God thinks there was something very wrong with Copernicus
God thinks abortion is murder and
God thinks everything that science gave us is wrong
God thinks women deserve it
God thinks AIDS is a form of punishment

I hate people who blame the Devil for their own shortcomings and
I hate people who thank God when things go right

And I
I know what God thinks
God thinks you're an idiot
God prefers a heretic

God God
God thinks all people like you are evil
God thinks all people like you are an embarassment to creation
self-righteous, judgemental, first to throw the stone
and use His name for your own agenda

God is a liberal
God is a democrat
God wants you to vote republican
never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of god
and says that it's absolute truth
its lies and it smells like death
its all in a day's work taking money from the poor
Why do you think that God would need your dirty money
if he wanted to start a holy war?

self-righteous, judgemental, first to throw the stone
and use His name for your own protection

God thinks puppies need to die and
God thinks babies need to drown
'cause God is neither good nor bad
God is you and me
God is Everything

I'm relieved to know that G*d won't look down on that sack of puppies I threw in the river.
