Wow, they did that without auto-tune... there is hope for the human race!
IMHO it demonstrates the power of emotionally-charged religious speak to get people to do evil things. Sounds like she is being helpful, but the song makes a desperate plea to commit the worst kinds of evil. Lyrics sound like they could be straight from the Old Testament.
Interesting. It counts on the religion though. 'Cause even stuff like Atheism & Evolution are technically religions too. Think about it, people put their faith in something like theories. They're only theories so weren't proven. So people have "faith" in them therefore generally they become religions although they aren't define as them.

If one religion says that there are many ways in to Heaven and another says there is only one way, what does that mean? Doesn't that mean one of them can be wrong? So if there is a wrong answer that automatically makes a right answer.

Try Christianity. And none of that wishy-washy kind either! The Bible statistics are awesome! The Bible is the only book that has predicted the future and events have come true! Yes, it's a STUDY book, but get the basics down first. Look up "the Gospel" please!!!
Thanks for the undesired proselytizing, Meekliniz. Since you started, I will return the favor.

No doubt you are trying to be helpful, but let me give you a few things to think about and study. Then I will tie your comments back to my original comment and the song.

Odds are, you were born into your religion--lucky you, born into the One True branch of the One True denomination of the One True religion. Odds are, you accepted it as a child before learning any critical thinking skills. Odds are, as an adult, you only value confirming evidence....
Odds are, you were born into your religion--lucky you, born into the One True branch of the One True denomination of the One True religion. Odds are, you accepted it as a child before learning any critical thinking skills. Odds are, as an adult, you only value confirming evidence. Odds are, you are aware of inconsistencies but brush them aside because that is easier than challenging your long-held indoctrinated-from-birth beliefs. Odds are, you get your science from non-scientists. Odds are, you accept what others tell you about the Bible on faith. Odds are, you haven't read the Bible straight through cover-to-cover. I could be wrong on a point or two, but the odds are on my side.
Faith is belief based on insufficient or non-existent evidence. Your "faith" seems to color your conceptions of what knowledge is, and you falsely apply that standard to science. There is no room for faith in science. Science is driven by evidence, reason, and intellectual honesty. Science doesn't esteem faith by calling faith a virtue, because there is no virtue in believing things with insufficient evidence. It's dishonest to knock science down to the epistemological level of religion by saying "it's only a theory." The Theory of Electricity has brought you the Internet; Germ Theory has brought you better health and sanitation; various aerodynamic theories brought us airplanes. Even the most humble of technologies have a theory behind it. Science would have died on the vine had it not produced meaningful knowledge.
Theories are models. Good theories--proven theories--are backed by evidence, and eventually, stuff that works. Evolution is a theory that has been proven repeatedly by multiple lines of independent evidence. And that knowledge is quite useful in our endeavors in agriculture, animal husbandry, protecting endangered species, and medicine to name a few. Science wins because it works.
Atheism is not a "religion". It's a polite way of saying all those stories about all those all-powerful genies are fake. You don't believe that Zeus, Vishnu, Allah, Odin, FSM, or thousands of other gods described by people over the centuries are real. But you wouldn't call your disbelief in those gods "a religion." Add Yahweh to that list and that disbelief still does not achieve the status of "religion." That is called "special pleading" if adding any single god changes the argument. You make the claim God is real, it's your burden to prove it.
How does God work, BTW? He must have been so busy helping everybody's team win 50% of their games, and getting rid of their headaches after they took an aspirin, that he just didn't have time to cure childhood leukemia, or to help all the victims of that plane crash. Believers always make excuses for the so-called all-powerful. Odds are, I will read an excuse soon.
You are partially correct about not all religions being right. Their contradictory claims means that--at most--only one might be right. That doesn't prove yours is right, or that any of them are right. Most likely, none of the thousands are true. If you follow their arguments, they all come down to special pleading, "The evidence we have is the same as they have, but ours is true and their isn't".
You esteem faith, but faith has no method, it doesn't rely on evidence or reason. It all comes down to guessing what some so-called god wants people to do. If you rely on faith, you have no argument when God/Zeus/Allah/etc. tells someone to drown their babies in a bath tub; or to fly planes into buildings; or to protest the funerals of fallen soldiers; or conduct war against other Christians, as Catholics and Protestants did; or for parents to withhold medicine from their own children that prevents their death. Do I need to go on?
Here's the problem: Endorsing faith implicitly endorses the same thought processes that justifies all kinds of evil. So getting back to the lyrics and my original comment... You made that religion-speak sound so sincere and helpful, while unknowingly supporting evil.
