@[lovebee:7272] I do not see though how this song is anti-religion. Just because religion is ridiculous and strange to human logic does not mean there's nothing to it. In the Bible God outright says that his wisdom has absolutely nothing in common with human logic, and he realizes that his works and decisions are super-easy to disregard or mock - that's the point. It reminds me of that scene in Harry Potter, which I think is one of the most brilliant answers to the religion vs logic conundrum: Harry is in like a semi-heaven purgatory, and asks Dumbledore "hey, is this, like, FOR REAL? or is it all in my head?" to which Dumbledore retorts "OF COURSE it's in your head!...but... why should that mean that it's not real?" I think that this song is brilliant even from a pro-religion standpoint, because it's more a commentary on the human pereception of God, and how counter-intuitive and downright weird it is if you stop and think about it. It's not pro or anti, it's just pointing out "hey, religion is actually pretty weird guys." which is a compliment IMO. Your analysis is accurate, but there is more than one conclusion to be drawn from said analysis. |
