Anti Religious Or Not?

[ukanonymous]

I found this great song you have probably heard it. Does thing ring truth or should gays all be condemned to he'll. It's actually quite a hot video so be warned. But a very moving song I lobe it. A lot. Media URL: https://youtu.be/PVjiKRfKpPI

bad link.

It's a two pronged message about comparing ones, in this case gay, lover to a religion in terms of worshipping them and also how others, explicitly religions, condemn gay relationships.

A clever weaving of the two strands in my opinion and a good song too.

Wouldn't say it's particularly anti-religion as a whole, just about specifically their views on gay relationships. Couldn't see any reference to religion in the video, only in the lyrics.

For anyone who, like me, couldn't understand the lyrics...

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
'We were born sick,' you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life


If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life


No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen. Amen. Amen


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

[ukanonymous]

I think its something to do with burying your box deeper otherwise people will dig it up and burn it.

I'd certainly condemn creators of such pretentious rubbish to hell whatever their gender identity or sexual orientation.

I think it's amazing - I love dark songs, very powerful video.
