Dear God, by XTC, video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk41Gbjljfo
Dear God,
Hope you got the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God
I can't believe in you.
Dear God,
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in the amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet
About God,
I can't believe in you.
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too?!
Dear God,
Don't know if you noticed, but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book,
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God,
I can't believe in...
I don't believe in...
I won't believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You're always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it's the same the whole world 'round.
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in.....
It's you.....
Dear God. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk41Gbjljfo]Youtube |

"The Lowest Pair"
by John Hartford
Now, First thing, is to say this:
Much further out than inevitable
Halloween is thy game
Sky King has come
& Wilma's done
Uncertain as it is uneven
Give us today hors d'uvre's in bed
As we forgive those who have dressed up against us
And need us not enter inflation
But liver, onions, & potatoes.
For wine is a shingle, and amore,
And a story for your father.
Allright. |
"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."
"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson |

"God" by John Lennon
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I'll say it again
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga
I don't believe in kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles
I just believe in me
Yoko and me
And that's reality
The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the Dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You'll just have to carry on
The dream is over |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Oh hey, am I allowed to offer lyrics that I wrote? ?
I Am the Very Model of a Skeptic Evangelical
By David Glück
(Sung to the tune of I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General)
I am the very model of a skeptic evangelical
I've information rational, empirical and clinical
I know the precise moment when my thinking must turn critical
From alchemy to zombies and all sort of claims ethereal
I'm very well acquainted with the new age woo-woo paradigm
I understand why I must keep a relatively open mind
While faced with the unlikely chance that once perhaps some light may shine
When honestly considered though, it's mostly been a waste of time
When honestly considered though, it's mostly been a waste of time
When honestly considered though, it's mostly been a waste of time
When honestly considered though, it's mostly been a waste of time
I'm very good at sizing up a reasonable argument
I know the Uri Gellers and I know how all the spoons got bent
In short in matters rational, empirical and clinical
I am the very model of a skeptic evangelical
In short in matters rational, empirical and clinical
He is the very model of a skeptic evangelical
When I can hold the Bible up to skeptical analysis
When I can tell the Big Bang from a tale that's told in Genesis
When I know that abduction is more likely sleep paralysis
And I can tell from evidence what's real from tests and common sense
When I can tell a theory from what's mainly hypothetical
When I can tell a scam from something worthy and more practical
When I know that a future can't be foretold astrological
And I can tell a Nessy from a log, a boat or mackerel
And he can tell a Nessy from a log, a boat or mackerel
And he can tell a Nessy from a log, a boat or mackerel
And he can tell a Nessy from a log, a boat or mackerel
Then I can write a letter that is seething and incredulous
To Fox TV and TLC for airing the ridiculous
In short in matters rational, empirical and clinical
I am the very model of a skeptic evangelical
In short in matters rational, empirical and clinical
He is the very model of a skeptic evangelical
In fact, when I can say for certain, pyramids were for the dead
Nowhere in ancient Egypt were they seen as fashion for the head
When I can be appalled at psychic surgery and laetrile
I guarantee that hemlock tea is every bit as natural
When I can recognize appeals to test my own credulity
And I can catch each one thereby escaping with impunity
When I know that the speed of light has only one velocity
And I can tell a snake oil without checking its viscosity
And he can tell a snake oil without checking its viscosity
And he can tell a snake oil without checking its viscosity
And he can tell a snake oil without checking its viscosity
My skeptical pursuits have caused a few to say I'm cynical
I can say I'm not and not be one ounce hypocritical
And still in matters rational, empirical and clinical
I am the very model of a skeptic evangelical
And still in matters rational, empirical and clinical
He is the very model of a skeptic evangelical
Apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan.

Atheist Peace by bad Religion
Maybe it's too late for an intellectual debate,
but a residue of confusion remains.
Changing with the times,
and amphetamine tortured minds
are average the citizen's sources of pain.
Tell me what we're fighting for
I don't remember anymore,
only temporary reprieve
And the world might cease
if we fail to tame the beast
from the faith that you release
comes an atheist peace.
Atheist peace.
Political forces ran
political winds of discontent,
and the modern age emerged triumphantly.
But now that safety's gone,
And it's time to de-evolve
and relive the dark chapters of history
Tell me what we're fighting for
No progress ever came from war,
only a false sense of increase
and the world won't wait
for the truth upon a plate
but we're ready now to feast on an atheist peace. |
