Claws Of A God Lyrics

I think this song is about over religious people who preach hate and condemnation on others. The first example that came to me is that church in Westboro, going around and killing people as the "hands of a god", and condemning them, unseeing of their own sins and faults . This song is a warning about the religious type of hypocrites and a call to look at themselves fro their own sin before they "choke on the smoke" of real justice.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Song Meaning

I hope you are not advocating a free-for-all with regard to acceptance of sin. The piece about not judging is always taken out of context (ie. the rest of the writing on the topic is omitted). There are many Truths that God expects us to support and sins he expects us to condemn (the action, not the person). As for the song, I believe it's about false prophets...nothing more.
