Okay, I want to add my 2 cents. I'm a christain kid who believes in God, but I don't think this song is nesscessarily talking about whether you believe or not(which everyone is makingit out to be)I think it's about being scared to notice something amazing about someone just because of physical traits.
Like, in the song, Joan sings aobut how God might be a lonely slob, and she then says "would you want to see if seeing meant that you would have to believe." Well, to me, that means that we as humans are quick to judge without going deeper into a situation or personality. It's saying, "Would you want to work hard to get past the appearance, or do you want to take the easy way out and just brush him/her/them off?"
The whole thing about God might just be the writer's way of emphasizing the rediculousness of bigotry.
