lyrics

“In secret, have I said nothing.” – Jesus
-------(John 18:20)

I look around and it’s sad to see
Faith supplanting the facts we need
To make informed decisions
Based on what we perceive
If we are to be judged by what we believe
We should discern the truth empirically
We should dismiss the make-believe
And continue to advance and achieve
The gown-up truth is plain to see
God will not heal an amputee
-------(Mathew 9:35)
Nonsensical fables hold no sway over me

Are you ready to drink some blood
-------(John 6:55-58, Ezekiel 39:18)
To relieve you of the evil you have done?
-------(Revelations 16:6)
Turn a cracker into human flesh
-------(Numbers 11:18, John 6:54)
And devour it down that you will live forever
-------(John 6:51)
You will suffer not a woman to speak in church
-------(1 Corinthians 14:35, 1 Timothy 2:12)
You can kill a man on Saturday for doing some work
-------(Exodus 31:15)
Stone your child to death for misbehaving
-------(Leviticus 20:9, Deuteronomy 21:18-21)
Flog your neighbors which you are enslaving
-------(Exodus 21:20)

Schizophrenics are not possessed
Faith and magic have been laid to rest
For god’s sake, it is the Age of Enlightenment
Religions have failed the test
Discovery is a path to unite us
Curiosity, a light inside us
We have a need to know
And we will surely grow

No god has made me
No god to enslave me
No god to bring me to my knees
In reality, I believe

Religious Apologist minimize
The pain and death they have realized
Upon the gullible masses – surely this is a sin
Creationist fantasize riding dinosaurs
As their god drowns the world
-------(Genesis 7:4)
Repopulate the world through incest?
-------(Genesis 9:1)
What the hell?

You can cure the plague with the blood of a bird
-------(Leviticus 14:7, 51-52)
Or a magic handkerchief or simply uttering words
-------(Acts 19:12)
Jesus taught us not to wash our hands
-------(Mathew 15: 2)
He knew nothing of germs
-------(Mathew 15:11)
How absurd!
Just a few more gods consigned
To the realm of mythology and left behind

No god to judge me
No god to punish me
No god and I am not born in sin
In reality, I believe
No god to hear my prayer
No god, no heaven, no hell, no one there
No god Inseminating virgins in their sleep
Thank god there is no god
