Handjobs for Jesus

Mink4i, if this is the most insulting song you've ever heard, you obviously haven't listened to a lot of punk rock. I doubt Goldfinger's goal with this song was to change anyone's personal beliefs. Rather, I think they offer it as more of a manifesto of their atheist views, and lighted the mood by poking fun at Christianity (particularly in the second part of the song).

Hey, if art isn't controversial, it isn't worth paying attention to.

This song is fucking sick!

All of you who are taking this personally, it wasn't written for you. Stop being a bunch of pussies. Others shouldn't be able to express themselves (their views, thoughts, beliefs, etc.) because you find it insulting? Great. Why don't we just abolish music so that people like you won't have shit to fucking complain about? Sound good?

Goldfinger are amazing and I absolutely love this song.

well as slimpunk said earlier basically this isnt as offensive as other songs ive heard. For pretty much all of the song if you look at it he isnt having a go at reliion or christianty. he is questioning it as if he doesnt know wether to believe or not. As for the little extra song bit at the end im nto sure if he is poking fun at the hardcore religious nuts or at christinaty itself but with the george bush thing i think its at the people not at the religion itself.

one of my favourite songs at the moment. i love it

honestly most of you are taking this to literal. The song as derogatory as it may be, doesn't seem to be poking much at Christianity itself but at the people in it.

Like for example, take a verse from the song "Get up"; I’ve held my breath so many times When I’m praying for the tortured souls But your souls they seem to be done for Your bodies they’ve waged wars So what gives them the right To take your life from you Why do they all play God? Who said that is your job

look at that, again with religion, not bad, but making you wonder. They don't hate on religion, they hate on fake people in religion or people who like to put themselves above everyone else. I myself was raised in and around religion and have read much into it and I kind of agree with there views on this. Religion in itself is becoming a sham and there just bold enough to jump out and say hey, this is it, this is how it is and whats going on, take it into account or not. The bush part in my opinion may have been a stretch, but really again with just poking at people in religion, not religion itself.

I may be wrong and I don't doubt it, but those are my views.

And I agree with redbopped, this is an amazing CD, Goldfinger impressed me yet again.

This song is amazing!

you humble little christians and youre fucking dogma-spitting jesus-cock filled mouths. jesus looked more like osama bin laden than a fucking feathered hair pussy. he also would probably think youre all retarded for taking everything so literally. the second coming of christ (won't happen) will be in your mom's hair

This song is insulting but you can't blame them for being lost and they said they tried to anaylize christianity, however, from an athiest view so why blame them.

I can't believe so many of you are so dumb. What do you mean, "what happened Goldfinger?" This is the best album Goldfinger has put out since Hang-ups.

This song is a great poke at religion, and good portions are also true.

If you want offensive, go listen to B2C, "show me yo bootyhole". Now that stuff is offensive, so go get a life. Listen to the rest of album even if you don't like this one. It's downright tasty.

I'm more of an agnostic but I hate religion and love this song, I really agree with the said above how it's mocking the people and not the religion itself.

Also I know it's a meanings site, but didn't anyone notice how the end sounds just like sum41 (their pain for pleasure alter ego band) Or is it just me? If you listen to their music it's remarkably similar...

I don't see the song as so much of just a straight-up insult and denial of the religion's existence, but more of the questioning of it. He's not sure if it's actually real because everyone and all the information out there from those thousands of sources make it so confusing and complicated with no real straight answers of anything. He just chooses to not accept it because of that when he says "all religion can go straight to Hell", I don't think he's necessarily saying that it's not "real".

I also find it interesting how he does mention some form of a god in his other songs, such as "Get Up", which someone else has mentioned, as well as "You Think it's a Joke" when he says "and if there's a god above..." and so forth. It sounds to me like he possibly has partially believed it off-and-on throughout his life, but this song right here is talking about his questioning.

He pokes fun at it obviously too, though, as a way to relieve some of the stress, anger and disappointment that believing it has given him.
