I love this DM song. As others have mentioned David is an agnostic leaning toward atheist (Or as I call it, that place in between entertaining delusions and facing reality). I am too. Who knows what any songwriter is really thinking at the time of writing a song but as an agnostic I think I get the meaning of this one. Most agnostics I have known, including myself, would love to believe in Jesus and the whole after-life fairy tail. Unfortunately there are just too many holes in the story and too many indications that it is all BS. I have been there, every verse of this song. I would love to believe in Jesus, but I don't and I can't change that but I will entertain the delusion sometimes, especially when life has me really down.
