I recently watched Bo Burnham's comedy special "what." and while watching one moment really struck me. He sang a song, "From God's Perspective". Even though this song was written by a comedian, I think everyone could benefit from listening/reading the lyrics.
I do not post this as any form of attack on monotheistic religion and I'm not saying that you should think this way, my only point here is that this is most definitely worth a listen. So here it is:
"From God's Perspective"
Books you think I wrote are way too thick
Who needs a thousand metaphors to figure out you shouldn't be a dick?
And I don't watch you when you sleep.
Surprisingly I don't use omnipotence to be a fucking creep
You're not going to heaven
Why the fuck would you think I'd ever kick it with you?
None of you are going to heaven.
There's a trillion aliens cooler than you.
You shouldn't abstain from rape just 'cause you think that I want you to
You shouldn't rape because rape is a fucked up thing to do
(Seriously don't fucking rape people, didn't think I had to write that one down for you)
I don't think masturbation is obscene
It's absolutely natural and the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen
You make my job a living hell, I sent gays to fix overpopulation
And boy did that go well.
You're not going to heaven
Eat a thousand crackers sing a million hymns.
None of you are going to heaven.
None of you are my children;
You're a bad game of sims.
You shouldn't abstain from pork just cause you think that I want you to
You can eat pork 'cause why the fuck would I give a shit?
(I created the universe, think I'd draw the line at the fucking deli isle?)
You argue and you bicker and you fight
Atheists and Catholics, Jews and Hindu's argue day and night
Over what they think is true
No one entertains the thought of maybe God does not believe in you
We pray so badly for heaven
Knowing that everyday could be the day that you die
But maybe life on earth could be heaven
Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try
My loves the type of thing you have to earn and when you earn it
You won't need it [x2]
I'm not gonna give you love just 'cause you want me to
If you want love the love's gotta come from you
