I agree with JBcynical. Makes sense. Only if you have a chip on your shoulder about Christianity.

The references are metaphors. He's talking about giving himself to someone and being betrayed.

The line "Don't try to tell me that I'm a coincidence" is that he is wrestling with what the meaning of everything is, becuase he was betrayed by the person he gave himself to. They said it didn't mean anything. It was just a coincidence.

Life , death, religion , survival where's the truth?

He's suggestying you can't count on anything.
