So many people waste their lives praying to a God that either, A) doesn't exist, or B) doesn't give a shit about them. Religion keeps people submissive by preaching of an eternal life, taking any meaning away from this one. It makes otherwise decent people act like complete shitheads. It makes otherwise intelligent people believe bronze age myths and deny scientific truths. It has been used to justify the murder of countless lives. It has been used to legitimize the rule of kings and other hierarchies. It is the bane of human existence. It's fucking worthless.
lyrics
Six thousand years of religious genocide,
crusades and inquisitions
religious superstitions will cause this flock of sheep to die without their shepherd.
There's nowhere to hide.
So say a fucking prayer to your god that isn't there.
Say a fucking prayer.
Like you have no choice at all.
No say in your future.
Your ignorance is your bliss.
So you waste your life away on your knees begging for salvation.
It's fucking worthless. God is dead.
