Miles Flint - Religulous lyrics

Intro: Why is faith good? Why is believing something without an evidence good? I think being without faith is something that's a luxury for people who are fortunate enough to have a fortunate life Strophe 1: Wänns en Gott git macht er einiges verchehrt Ich glaub mier wäred besser dra, wänn keine ihn verehrt Für euch isch es heiligi Schrift für mich eigentlich e Gschicht Wo nur erfunde isch und Opfer findet i dä Underschicht Sie git eifachi Antworte uf komplexischti Frage Schaltet s'rationelle dänke ab, versetzt in Exstase Dini Sünde z'beichte git der au kein Heiligeschii Sie vertraued uf Gott, anstatt mal eifach uf sich Es söll niemer behaupte es gäb kei Chrieg wägem Glaube Wart nöd uf es göttlichs Zeiche, öffne lieber mal d'Auge S'lauft einiges falsch, da nützt au keis Vaterunser S'wird pädophili Prieschter gäh bis au dä Papst cha bumse Wänns nachem Wille gaht vo Rom, gits weder Pille na Kondom Aber alli die Schöfli schwümmed immer mit em Strom Mächtige Männer mached Politik im Name vo Gott Ihr glaubed wiiterhin a d'Erlösig und all die Gebot Ich wott kei religiösi Mänsche meh gseh a dä Machthebel Vo Nögschteliebi rede und dänn doch nur Ha** predige Bi Fraue i dä Chille lauft dene Herre dä Angschtschweiss h*mos**ualität isch anschiinend ja e Chrankheit Glaube ersetzt s'dänke, e eigni Meinig häsch nie Das gaht vo dä Chrüüzzüüg bis zum Heilige Chrieg Nöd müesse überlegge macht d'Mänsche schiinbar glücklich Religione sind nüt anders als es Mittel zur Underdrückig Refrain: Schänk eus din Glaube au du wirsch erlöst Himmel und Höll – Guet oder Bös You know that sh** it f**ing religulous, f**ing religulous, f**ing religulous 2. Strophe: I certainly honestly believe religion is detrimental to the progress of humanity You know it's just selling an invisible product. It's too easy These questions about what happens when you die they so freak people out that they will just make up any story and cling to it Things that they know it can't be true People who are otherwise so rational about everything else and then they believe that on Sunday they are drinking the blood of a 2000 year old guy The plain fact is, religion must die for mankind to live The hour is getting very late to be able to indulge in having in key decisions made by religious people By irrationalists Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It's nothing to brag about And those who preach faith, and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders, keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don't have all the answers to think that they do Most people would think it's wonderful when someone says, "I'm willing, Lord! I'll do whatever you want me to do!" Except that since there are no gods actually talking to us, that void is filled in by people with their own corruptions and limitations and agendas If you belonged to a political party or a social club that was tied to as much bigotry, misogyny, h*mophobia, violence, and sheer ignorance as religion is, you'd resign in protest To do otherwise is to be an enabler, a mafia wife, for the true devils of extremism that draw their legitimacy from the billions of their fellow travelers The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt Doubt is humble, and that's what man needs to be, considering that human history is just a litany of getting sh** dead wrong
