You go to the church, you kiss the cross
You will be saved at any cost
You have your own reality
Christianity
You spend your life just kissing ass
A trait that's grown as time has passed
You think the world will end today
You praise the Lord, it's all you say
Jesus saves, listen to you pray
You think you'll see the pearly gates
When death takes you away
For all respect you cannot lust
In an invisible man you place your trust
Indirect dependency
Eternal attempt at amnesty
He will decide who lives and dies
Depopulate Satan's rise
You will be an accessory
Irreverence and blasphemy
Jesus saves, no need to pray
The gates of pearl have turned to gold
It seems you've lost your way
Jesus saves, no words of praise
No promised land to take you to
There is no other way
You will be saved at any cost
You have your own reality
Christianity
You spend your life just kissing ass
A trait that's grown as time has passed
You think the world will end today
You praise the Lord, it's all you say
Jesus saves, listen to you pray
You think you'll see the pearly gates
When death takes you away
For all respect you cannot lust
In an invisible man you place your trust
Indirect dependency
Eternal attempt at amnesty
He will decide who lives and dies
Depopulate Satan's rise
You will be an accessory
Irreverence and blasphemy
Jesus saves, no need to pray
The gates of pearl have turned to gold
It seems you've lost your way
Jesus saves, no words of praise
No promised land to take you to
There is no other way

Jesus came to teach us to love and accept us for who we are.
Um, sorry Tom, that's only partially correct. Jesus came to die and rise again so humans could be forgiven and taken to heaven when they die. What Tom says isn't the full picture. Also what I don't like about Tom, their albums usually have a pentagram on it, and he states: When (a band member) writes a good song, we'll use it." Or something close to that. Apparently he doesn't know that others come second and NOT first. Jesus comes first which he's obviously forgotten, or his church has taught him a twisted version of the Bible. I hope his belief takes a bigger part in the band and his life in the future (If you think this is impossible, go look at Dave Mustaine and his transformation.)
Anyway, this songs lyrics have pretty much been summed up by everyone. The song to me sounds like Slayer thinks pretty lowly of bible bashers and Jesus in general. Obviously, the people who are like "YOUR GOING TO HELL HAHA IM GOING TO HEAVEN NOW" aren't real Christians. It doesn't sound like Tom takes a full belief in Christianity, it sounds like he thinks it's just something to fall back on.
That's hard to back up man.98% of historians believed Jesus' existed. you might be looking at the Bible as if it were just one big book written in a private area, that's not correct. Within the Bible you find books, that were collected into the cannon as the most reliable sources we have for Jesus. and when you apply criteria for authenticity you find that the New Testament is very reliable. Most historians, however, dont accept the miracles because their profession would be in danger if they did, but that's not evidence against the miracles in the New Testament.I'd say if the NT authors were going to make up some random story they wouldn't have included embarassing facts, suchas, Jesus not being able to perform miracles in his hometown, his family not even believing in him, Having Woman being the primary witnesses to his empty tomb(Woman's testimony in that society was considered worthless.)and him being publically executed(in that culture that meant he was a gailed messaih.),etc.this is just a very small portion scholars find the NT reliablw thouge, you should research into for it yourself though. But sorry If I came off as arrogant in my first post, It just saddens me when people claim that Believers are just emotional irrational and closeminded, and then those very same people turn around and spew anger at God, because they don't like how religion is being distributed,that's not a reason why one shouldn't believe in God.that's letting an irrelevant factor dictate your sentiments.It's closeminded to deny God because you don't like Christian people, it doesn't make you look openminded because you can curse at Jesus, that's putting on a front to look openmided.I'm not preaching anything, I just want people to realize how shallow this is, God really does loves us. Just think for yourselves, don't worry about the Christians that are making you mad-- they aren't God.
