i'm agnostic, but this song is really powerful. when you hear this song, you can't help but want to listen to it, no matter what religious denomination you are, the title itself makes you think and gets you interested. the things that kanye has to say about his relationship with Jesus, and society's relationship with religion, are so right on. lyrically, the song is super deep, especially when he gets into how religious songs rarely ever get any clout in society (ironically, since american society seems to be getting more "faith-based" as ever)...especially when he talks about how radio stations will allow "guns, sex, lies, and videotapes" but rarely positive influences on the airwaves. the beat, aside from the lyrics, is tight.

@saintnate Agree with your sentiments. Ironic isn't it that in a fairly religious country such as the USA sex and violence still sell so well.
