The line "Remember to pray, and what the Bible says and you will live thru eternity" suggests it may be more about hypocricy, but that enters into the domain of personal meaning. "You haven't heard of this?" right after it can be interpreted several ways after all. For myself, I always figured this song had perhaps more to do with hypocricy in accusing others. I am particularily struck by the fire & brimstone language and partially want to think it's about how people who accuse of everybody else ending up in Hell are most likely to end up there themselves, but who knows. (Again "False News Travel Fast" suggests it's likely to be much more mundane).
