To me this song is about how condesending christians are to people who dont go to church and specifically follow the path that they are choosing them selves. such as when he says "Before you hedge those bets you placed against me" Such as when christians think someone is a lowlife because they look it - doesnt mean they are... Such as thinking someone is going to fail because they dont walk the path they do.
That leads me to "You're so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous So you can go and nest among the weak" To me this means that he thinks christians are so quick to pick up the bible and believe what they are told so they can be part of the crowd and not seem like they are doing something wrong.
As for the line "Your verbal defecation i can't wash away despite myself
Your vanity, it seems, has served you well" Verbal defecation, again, putting someone down, which christians do quite often to non believers, and how they do it in vain to make them selves look like better people.
On a side note, i have nothing against christians. I do have a problem with christians that do the above things i just spoke of, this is just my interpretation, if i offended someone, so be it, but like i said, nothing against christians, just a certain type of them.
