Alice in Chains – The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here

Religion is a bag of lies.

@Zolhaye
Couldn't agree more. Jesus is perfectly fine, it's the so-called Christians that make it sound dumb and something to laugh at.

Amen, Brother LRey. :P this is completely true. <3 love the new album!

Jerry seems that he's an anti-Semite, he doesn't the mother of all religions, he hates Jews obviously and not only because they are hypocrites. He's hates their very culture and past which is tied to their religion.

Well, that's sad that you know nothing about Catholicism, but then again, you're probably American or sth and you guys do not have Catholicism in your country. Catholic religion does not say about "homosexuals being an abomination" - it respects ALL people, underlining that homosexuality is a sin, which for Catholics is. Just think for a moment before you write something. Catholicism HAS NEVER BEEN a religion of hate.

@becca10000 not sure how you got antisemitism from these lyrics??

Jerry may have authored those lyrics, but the parts of the song where Jesus is "dissed" represent giving voice to those freaks who surround themselves with silly myths and hatred in an attempt at making sense out of life. Anyone who's read about Jesus' life knows he was never reported (I write reported because nothing he actually said was written down when he said it) to have said something terrible about homosexuals. Therefore, neither Jerry nor the song is dissing Jesus, but instead is meant to represent attitude of the fools who believes Jesus hated gays. (I like what you wrote about the song possibly being about the dichotomy between religion and science and how it spins off endlessly replicated arguments.)

Sorry that was in response to DixonSydar who was responding to becca10000 since she likes pointing fingers as Christians always seem to do.

@saint_torum only one ignorant is you. Can't Even Spell or write correctly.

You sound like a religious nutjob who just can't get over the fact that people more in the public eye talk about the inevitability that there is no God and the sillyness and hypocricies of religion and the different religious ideas and movements. Many of these bands don't even support or worship the Devil. They actually think he is just as made up as all of this God and Jesus shit. They believe that once you die, you die. You don't transform into a ghost and go to the clouds or a burning pot depending on how you behave.

"Jesus don't like a queer" Have you ever thought about what that ACTUALLY means? I mean, this is the "SONGMEANINGS" website, not the hell-bound heathen discussion board. That line is obviously referring to the many religions and ideas that being gay is unnatural, immoral, against God's will, etc. In the real world, there are loads and loads of people that believe that these religious folk and principles should just fuck off and let people be the way they want, be it gay lesbian, whatever.

Also, Jerry Cantrell is not a drug addict. Layne and Mike were the addicts in the band. Shows what you know about... anything. I'd go as far to say that you aren't even a fucking fan of this band since you didn't know that fact.

really? have you ever listened to 'queen of the rodeo"? read the comment by LRey... it explains everything. OR, read an interview with Jerry regarding the song. The CD rocks. Long live AiC.

this is total bullshit. Layne died, Jesus get over it. If you can't appreciate then you're still living in the 90's and not a real fan of the band.

If you are a serious fan of AIC, you might give the song and album a few more listens. Jerry isn't writing those lyrics as if he himself is musing about religious absurdities, but rather is playing the role of the person who surrounds himself with myriad myths that have no bearing on living a truly moral life. I would be remiss if I failed to mention that I think your statement about Layne "being" AIC is ludicrous. Jerry wrote so much of their music and lyrics and sung both high and low harmonies and lead on many of their songs. It was I think a bit more Jerry's band than it ever was Layne's. Finally, you should be grateful that AIC tours now with an awesome lead singer with whom Jerry has played for nearly 20 years. Layne was so strung out 99% of the time that touring simply stopped for the band. As much as Jerry loved Layne, it must have been agony for him not to play all those great songs live after the band's first few tours. It was definitely a sad thing to miss when I was growing up listening to their wonderful music.

The Devil loves the queer. Does that make you feel better? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that queer relations are anti-nature and repulsive reflexively. What's wrong with you? Keep your bs propaganda to yourself, stop pushing it on others. Thanks

Layne was one guy. He made the band what they were, but he was not the band. he had the ideas, but everyone realized them. And I admit, this song is uninspired.
