Hello, Isaiah-I-Am, I say that you should not eat ham
If you erect a golden ram, you shall be forever damned
thou shalt not think, thou shall believe
even if prophets lie and deceive
Paul says that it is justified
That's how I know that he has lied
Would you could you kill your son
If god commanded that it be done?
Would you could you rape a wife
Or take a heathen's worthless life?
The Bible says that it's okay
To beat a slave all through the day
The Bible condones theft and slaughter
And to steal and rape a father's daughter
Would you could you burn a queer
And live your life in fretful fear
Isn't it great that you are not judged by your actions
But on whether or not you are part of the right faction?
Who cares if you save children and feed the poor
Or bring hope to those who have no more
If you don't accept Jesus Christ
Your soul shall be sacrificed
Would you, could you dash babies against the stones
And deafen your ears to their horrid moans?
Would you, could you stone another
If they blaspheme the lord or curse their mother?
Could you ignore all the contradictions
And believe in this work of mythological fiction?
Could you conduct your life by archaic authors
And stuff cash into the church's coffers?
Could you believe that god feels women are to be shamed
That for mankind's faults they are to be blamed?
Could you believe that an infinite being
Who is all knowing and all seeing
Cares at all who you love
As he watches down from up above
Homosexuality God just can't take
That's why they are to be burned at the stake
Along with witches, heathens, and those who inquire
Questions ought not to be asked of those inspired
For all the answers are already there
God did it, question not, if you dare
For questions plant the seeds of doubt
And Christians can't go down that route
Truth: that which God opposes
Instead you subscribe to the lies of Moses
Would you could you believe this tome of hate
That has doomed so many to a hellish fate
Not in the world beyond, but right here on earth
I ask of you: What is the Bible’s worth?
Of all the books burned throughout the ages
All the knowledge lost in the works of sages
I’d rather it have been the Bible’s pages
Torn asunder by heathens in fitful rages
To free mankind from religion’s cages
If you erect a golden ram, you shall be forever damned
thou shalt not think, thou shall believe
even if prophets lie and deceive
