When we were young, we thought of religion as something very simple: God is good, and he created us all.
Now that we're older, we understand some flaws in the Biblical stories and become more liable to doubt them.
Basically, religion is spreading farther and farther apart as time goes by. Why? Not because of science.
But because of the Church's ways of giving us that religion.
No gay marriage.
No pre-marital sex.
The concept of hell, I believe, was made up. Yes, made up. It was made to MAKE us want to do good. It's a way of scaring us into living by the guidelines.
Think about it this way: If you do something really bad, two things are going on in your head. One, it's a human emotion to feel bad for the person or persons you affected, balanced by two, the fear of sinning. When many people sin, they realize what they did is a strike against them. But, however, you go on with your everyday lives. This may be procrastination.
Take, for example, myself. When I sin, I think: "Ehhh...I'll go to Reconciliation later and cleanse my soul". I haven't gone to Reconciliation in YEARS.
Now, just to say it, I am not anti-religious. I have my beliefs, and I keep them.
This song is absolutely MEZMORIZING.
I think it's about religion.
