I think its less about how blind faith drives people to to terrible things and its more about the effect of a person or a group of people with any type of faith (blind or not) insists that another person or group of people should believe the same exact way. this also answers billthecat's question of what those lines could mean: believe is a beautiful armor and makes for the heaviest sword kinda implies that when you have a belief no one can rightfully tell you that you are wrong about it... or it makes it harder for people to tell you that youre wrong about it.. when you believe a certain way and get that security from it you at times may be proud of this armor that u see as so beautiful. like punching under water u never can hit who youre trying for kinda means when you go to try to tell someone theyre wrong about that they think you will in most cases disagree with another person's beliefs... the reason for the most part is that many different beliefs or ideas overlap with many others. this song implies that ones faith (blind or not blind) is not what is harmful; it is when the person tries to force someone else to believe the same thing. and how any argument rooting from this is pointless... explained in the line: were never gona beat this if belief is what were fighting for |
