“I don’t believe in you,” yet I continue to talk to you. We are a funny species, aren’t we? What if humans truly put their minds to work solving the problem of hunger and homelessness, quit spending all that money on war and spent it on love, what a world we would have then. When will we realize that we are the God we are searching for? It has to start here.
@songoftheheart - i agree, if we just turned our attention toward service rather than our lack of being served. the reward is far greater than anything we think well get being served.
@longshadow618 - that’s where you were coming from. this song surprised me. is all.
It is more rewarding to give than receive. So many of our problems would deminish if we’d step up and accept the challenges that life brings rather than bringing blame. The song is pretty interesting, but the underlying theme does nothing to help the conditions it disdains, only to promote hopelessness. Ironically it blames God for the woes of mankind, rather than mankind for its own woes. It is more common for our society to shift blame and responsibilty for happiness, to forces outside our genuine control, when it is actually our own purpose and responsibilty to promote happiness.
At first I was really getting into the song, but as I followed along I realized it is an abandonment of hope and in that act we are destined for failure. I agree with @songoftheheart. Not believeing in God will do no more to resolve these issues than not believing in the moon will stop a sunset.
Still I think the song was cool in a way. Perhaps it was meant as a satire on abandonment rather than an invocation to unbelief.
@Aloysius_son - im thinking it helped you confirm your faith a little. so in that regard it had a positive effect.
