7. Funny thing is (despite their name) Black Sabbath believes in God!
Edited on Mon Sep-20-10 10:32 PM by Yeshuah Ben Joseph
Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.

And I wouldn't wanna be in Hell with a bunch of overly-cynical, trendy emo's. Six of one, half a dozen of the other...

If nothing else, at least we know who we don't want to be with eternally even if we're still struggling with who we'd want to be with. :toast:

20. Luckily
neither Heaven nor Hell actually exist, so we won't have to worry about it. :)

31. I thought it was the entirety of Harris County.
Edited on Tue Sep-21-10 08:20 PM by Chan790
I used to work for a literacy organization based out of Houston and I had to travel there constantly, right after Enron imploded and seemingly took all life in downtown with it.

God, was that a depressing shithole. Other than the Angelika moviehouse and the Aquarium I never found a reason to leave my room at the hotel. I went to the Galleria but it was mostly empty...on a Saturday.

I'm hoping the city has gotten nice again.

25. I spent the weekend in Hell once
Granted that was nearly 2000 years ago, but I doubt things have improved much down there.

And I'm "reporting back" from Heaven right now. :)

2. In my belief, you will be able to change that decision later.
So if in the future having said that bothers you, remember if you could change to that thought, you can change from that thought.

5. in some circles that is a reasonable substitute.
in fact, some might even say technically synonymous, and therefore you never really lost faith but merely had His identity revealed...

8. That's great.
I'm actually an accountant with the band's management company. I've talked to them, and they are graciously granting you three days to get your stuff together. After that, report to 34555 Paddingon Lane, North Umberland, UK, where you will begin the remainder of your life catering to the band's various needs. Oh, and friendly "heads-up": you can probably expect to do lots of gardening.

15. I believe in XTC
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.

27. I love it. It rings true.
I wish there were many more songs like that to counteract the mythology and propaganda of religion, the scourge of humanity.

30. Well... that all depends on your perspective, I guess.
I'm not a big fan of organized religion Myself, despite having one of the biggest named after Me. But I can't really get into a song telling Me that My Dad doesn't exist when He's sitting right next to Me. :)
