Saved

[ItsjustMe]

Shelley Segal

[Verse 1]
Say that I need to be saved
Say with me the devils got his way
I want to know how when you are praying
And when you are dooms-daying
How you think you know that someone is listening to what you are saying

[Chorus]
So you think that you
Can tell us how to live our lives
Never questioning the source from which your moral code derives
You think that suffering is part of some great plan that’s been devised
I wonder, I wonder
When we’ll be rid of your lies

[Verse 2]
Say I need to hear the truth
A sales-pitch of eternal life and eternal youth
All these blessings you are bestowing
Upon the one you say is all-knowing
Are they really deserved if ‘He’ is sending me where you say I am going?

[Chorus]
So you think that you
Can tell us how to live our lives
Never questioning the source from which your moral code derives
You think that suffering is part of some great plan that’s been devised
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
[Verse 3]
What will it take for you
To start opening your eyes
To start questioning the bullshit everyone around you buys
You think it’s any of your business what goes on between my thighs?
I wonder, I wonder
When we’ll be rid of your lies

[Chorus]
And so you think that you
Can tell us how to live our lives
Never questioning the source from which your moral code derives
You think that suffering is part of some great plan that’s been devised
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder

[Repeat Verse 3]
What will it take for you
To start opening your eyes
To start questioning the bullshit everyone around you buys
You think it’s any of your business what goes on between my thighs?
I wonder, I wonder
When we’ll be rid of your lies

1. I am an atheist.

I do not believe in God - or more to the point, whether God exists or not is irrelevant to how I live my life. So I really don't give the whole idea of his/her existence much thought.

That being said, I am equally offended by those who say "do you still believe in the Sky God" as those who say "have you accepted Jesus as your lord and saviour". It is prostletizing either way, an effort to win people over to one way of thinking.

I believe (or disbelieve, as the case may be). I have no need to have my beliefs validated by anyone - I have no compulsion to be persuaded by others that I am somehow superior to those of true faith, those whose beliefs are different from my own.

Insisting that those who believe in a higher being are somehow inferior to those who believe otherwise is cult-like behaviour.

I think we've had enough of that bullshit.
