i honestly was surprised to hear conor singing about god.
because he used to be openly atheist and such a harsh critic of christianity.
but he did have some sort of a spiritual awakening over the past few years after visiting cassadaga. :)
Well, earlier this year he said in an interview with Rolling Stone that he doesn't necessarily believe in god, and that he thought believing in Christianity/Judaism/Islam takes a huge suspension of disbelief. (That's a paraphrase, not a quote). That doesn't really make this song better though.

I don't see how this song isn't a harsh criticism of religion and/or god? More specifically the Christian god that is toted as omniscient, omnibenevolent, and omnipotent, and yet suffering exists. This is a song about the problem of evil. In that light I don't understand your objection.
