Lyric discussion by LGPenguin 

Metallica is my favourite band, even though I am a Christian, which some people may find hard to believe. When I heard this song and "The God That Failed", I wanted to know why these songs were written, whether they had meaning or were just sticking their finger up at God. When I found out what the song "The God That Failed" meant, I felt quite bad as I felt I wrongly judged them. The same with this song, I thought it was taking the pee out of Jesus, saying that he was wrongly healing the lepers, now I know that it was about the false prophets, I feel better about the band.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that this song is about religious nuts who preach about doing something that they want you to do in order to make it to heaven, Instead of going by what the bible says. I'm talking about people like the space ship death case, Jim jones, David koresh, People like that are leper messiahs. The use God in a negative manner.
