Love Is The Answer

This is one of the best songs ever written, it has been an anthem and mantra since the week the album was released. Why anyone would want to hijack my beloved song and call it Christian. It has nothing to do with pitiful superstitions. It has nothing to do with delusions and lies of any kind. It has nothing to do with ancient and degenerate, slaving, enemy of freedom, misogynist Paulist crap about some Son of God, Born as a man, to be murdered by man, in order to save Mankind. That story, doesn't even make sense to children. It is absurd to the point of ridiculous. Because in the emotional reprise, Todd screams what some interpreter thinks is Lord, you think it is Christian. The reprise according to my listen is "Love will be a reason, yeah yeah" and Lord or Lawd, or simply Let from let it shine. The song is freaking secular. If it were Christian, it would have Hell in it, and fortunately Todd gives us The Marriage of Heaven and Hell on the same awesome album. There he says, "Let us raise our glass" "And we'll drink a toast" "And the Devil will dance" "With the Holy Ghost" "And the good and the wicked" "The strong and frail" "They will all join hands" "At the end of the world" "Its the wrong world" "I must be on the wrong planet" "I've been checking it out"

Now that is strait out of the Bible, getting drunk watching the Devil and the Holy Ghost on Dancing with the Stars. That's got to be in that Book after Revelation. Or on the fabulous Trapped., first song side A.

"Brother John saw visions of God" "So they put him in chains" "For acting so odd" "As the crowd shouted off with his head" "The priest said have mercy" "Let's burn him instead."

Now that sounds like a bunch of Christians there, drooling and speaking in tongues, burning witches or anyone who saw the light differently. Great minds like Galileo. Going around burning and enslaving, causing pain and pestilence, leaving waste in their way. The witch burnings got so bad that in some places in Germany, there were no women or girls left. They had all been burned. They had an all out Christian attack on women lasting some 150 years. All it took was an accusation, and the accuser got half the victims property. Through agonizing torture, they extracted confessions and the poor victim was caged without any counsel or religious forgiveness until she was strangled and burned or burned alive. This was the Christian thing to do, to proclaim your faith, to burn witches, and the Bible says, thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, so if it says there is witches in the bible, and we can kill them, lets go find them. Never before or since has a culture been so insane as to wage war on their own women. So Martin Luther came along, and nailed his 99 thesis on the church door, strait out of ground zero of the witch burnings.

Luther was enlightened, was he not, so you would think he would gripe about all the asshole Christians burning all the good women of his land.

Not so. The Protestants burned just as many as the Catholics for another 150 years.

For anyone who thinks this excellent song has the least to do with Christianity, the Bible says you should pluck out your eye. Don't pollute the beautiful meaning of this song with your vile and heathen superstition.

May Todd have mercy on your soul.
