Cmon guys let's not be anti-Christian here.. it's ok not to agree with Christianity but to put your anti-Christian agenda/spin on a song that was a painstakingly obvious product of an inspiration taken from the Bible by a publicly professed Christian artist is kind of intolerant don't you think? Dustin is a Christian who happens to write songs, some of which take references from the Bible, some not, some both. If a song clearly makes a reference to the Bible, just state that it does and don't get all anti-Bible just because you don't like it. And just because you rightfully state that a line in this song is a direct reference to Matthew 6:19-21 doesn't mean you're saying you agree with everything in the Bible; you're simply describing something that is factual. At best you can say, "this song means to me..." or "I interpret this song to mean.... for me..." but to say things like "It IS NOT a reference to the Bible..." or something along those lines is just nonsense and you disqualify yourself from having any credibility.
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. - Matthew 19-21
