Zwan – Jesus, I

  General Comment:Billy Corgan is christian, but he's of his own kind. Because rather than directing his focus on being that kind of person, simple-mindedly and neglecting the horrid aspects of life, his focus is on the struggle of being that kind of person on a gruesome world, right beside humanity that will treat him like a leaper as the effect. In several of his songs, (as I take from my interpretation) i.e - The Beginning is the End is the Beginning, Billy expresses how he wants to end humanity, leaving him alone with God to look for him. That's far deeper. It's not taken from a... religious standpoint, but more from a theology and philosophical standpoint of religion with the trinity in it. There's a difference.

  General Comment:It definitely does seem like a Christian song, it seems like alot of people are hesitant to accept that but to each their own and all that.

    LOL. Ya think? If they're hesitant to accept it than they simply cannot read. I'm guessing anyone who does not believe in God would have little interest in a song like this one other than to ridicule it. And if they ridicule, it's because they are small-minded bigots, no different than if they were ridiculing a song about blacks; strong women; atheists; etc.

  General Comment:I think that Billy's sympathizing with Jesus. Saying that they were both crucified unjustly. And now Billy's come back to life again.
  
  Just my 2¢.

  General Comment:I agree with TREXOR and thedungbeetle...this song is about Christianity, peace, and joy. But take a look at the Smashing Pumpkins lyrics, and you'll find many similar topics. Billy has always written about God and Jesus, however, he is now writing from a different perspective. With the Pumpkins, he was pleading with God to deliver him from loneliness/help him find his way back from the darkness, etc. Now, he is writing (singing, actually, since he didn't write the lyrics to the Jesus I part of the song) about the peace he is finding in God, Jesus, and his religion. Is he Catholic? Who cares? Being Catholic myself, I can tell everyone that Catholicism is just a strict and traditional way of embracing God. It is not much different from any Protestant branch of Christianity--we all believe in the same basic catechism. But if the title you put on Billy's religion matters to you, I think even Billy wouldn't want you listening to his music.
