Cover art for Forty Days lyrics by Streetlight Manifesto

well i think so far everyone is with me that this song is about the writer being unsure and wary of religion. i just love the way tomas writes everything though. i like the way he thinks.

i just wanted to clear some things up that some have said.

in response to adsfkahsdf 's comment "Christian beliefs even if you live a perfect life without being a christian you'll still go to hell."

thats not quite it. no one can live a perfect. so to say that you could live perfectly and not recieve Jesus and you would be left out of heaven is a bit off. if you choose not to recieve Jesus you won't go to heaven. but its not to say that anyone could have been perfect and deserving of heaven.

and stompthebombs: i just want to say that any sin can be forgiven. the thing is, if you recieve Jesus, all is forgiven. if you do not, none are forgiven. i guess its all or nothing that way. its not like some things are unforgivalbe. so its not so much that not recieving Jesus is unforgivable its just that you havent asked for forgiveness. this sounds a bit confusing but i hope you get it.

and sorry about getting so off topic of the song. i just wanted to clear up some misunderstandings.

SM is great...you guys are great too.
