Critique of Religion and God

religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man

living in the sky who watches everything you do

every minute of every day

and the invisible man has a special list

of ten things he does not want you to do

and if you do any of these ten things

he has a special place full of fire and smoke

and burning and torture and anguish

where he will send you to live

and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry

forever and ever till the end of time

but he loves you

he loves you and he needs money

he always needs money

he's all powerful, all perfect, all knowing, all wise,

somehow just can't handle money

religion takes in billions of dollars

they pay no taxes and they always need a little more

now you talk about a good bullshit story

holy shit I want you to know something,

this is sincere, I want you to know

when it comes to believing in God

I really tried, I really really tried,

I tried to believe that there is a God

who created each of us in his own image

and likeness loves us very much and

keeps a close eye on things

I really tried to believe that but

I gotta tell you,

the longer you live the more you look around

the more you realize something is fucked up

something is wrong here

war, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty,

torture, crime, corruption and the ice capades

something is definitely wrong this is not good

work if this is the best God can do,

I am not impressed

results like these do not belong on the resume

of a supreme being

this is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp

with a bad attitude

and just between you and me

in between you and me, in any decently run universe

this guy would have been out on his all-powerful ass

a long time ago

and by the way, I say this guy

because I firmly believe, looking at these results

that if there is a God,

it has to be a man

no woman could or would ever fuck things up like this
