also, your points don't make any sense.

  1. If Jesus was the one preaching, why would he ask people to speak to him in a language he can hear? Wouldn't he say "Let me speak to YOU in a language YOU can hear"?

  2. "Cluttered streets" doesn't mean covered with people, it means dirty and trashy. "crowded streets" would have fit just as well into the song, so why didn't he use that?

  3. Last time i checked, people in Judea didn't have collars and Jesus died with people on either side of him, so he wasn't alone. Also, It was Calvary Hill, not "Skull Mountain." That's where fucking Skeletor lives. Castle greyskull is on top of it.

  4. A jangly walk signifies happiness, not fatigue, thus the "blasphemy" is that he's really depressed, but is acting happy.

  5. I'm no meteorologist, but I think I'm qualified to say that the sun doesn't go up and down every time it starts and stops raining. So "the sun is out and up and down again" only signifies the passage of time, not rain after Jesus dies.

  6. Miracles are "graceful swans of never"? no. The word "topple" implies an accident or a hard fall. Miracles don't topple from God you just tried to fit that line to whatever you wanted it to mean. What if i said it signified snow because snow topples to the earth from the sky? or that it signified the dropping of the atomic bomb because the bomb toppled out of an airplane and onto a bunch of japanese people? that wouldnt make any sense, would it? But yours does because you can relate anything to God and that makes it automatically true.

I'm Catholic and I've had to write innumerable amounts of essays relating various books, poems, etc. to God and your points remind me of things I wrote when i didn't think whatever I was writing about was actually about God and just had to bullshit my way through a paper to get a decent grade. You can't say something is about God without knowing the writer's background. Billy wasn't religious. You are wrong.
