"Ignorance" song lyrics...

I wrote this song after a heated argument with one of my Bible-thumping friends. I guess we both thought we were more open-minded than the other, but of course we all know that I am more open-minded than anyone!

Anyway, so yeah I was a little pissed about his narrow-mindedness so I wrote this song:

i get a little bit confused
by the tactics that you use
when youre trying to convince me
of my immortality
and my immaturity
in religious company
but thats not what i
wanna talk about tonight
i just wanna ask you what
that you think is so messed up
about my own philosophy
on the possibility
of a lesser plan
in the destiny of man

i get a little bit surprised
by the things that you deny
say mysterious are all his ways
so youve gotta keep the faith
but you blow the truth away
figure out some other day
maybe when youre dead and gone
hell tell you you werent wrong
and when heaven is your home
and i am in hell alone
you can rub your righteousness
in my face and ignorance
but until youre proven right
i think gods a freaking lie

why does god hide behind a cloud of fabrications
why does he hide inside these darn organizations
how does he expect us to believe without some answers
i dont want to go to hell but ill take my freaking chances

i think humanity designed
a creator so divine
that his plan included making us
and ends up in taking us
to his sacred home
where well never be alone
cause in heaven we will dwell
unless we go to hell
where the people we dont like
will end up after they die
but our arrogance is blinding us
keeps the truth from finding us
why must we believe
in something so darn naive

why does god hide behind a cloud of fabrications
why does he hide inside these darn organizations
how does he expect us to believe without some answers
i dont want to go to hell but ill take my freaking chances

when i talk to people im reminded
that im not so narrow-minded
how can they assume im wrong
say they know whats going on
its impossible to know without
atleast a shadow of a doubt
i used to be one of these fools
but i broke a couple rules
asked the questions never asked
studied present and the past
tried to find some evidence
but i just found ignorance
and now all that i believe
is in possibilities

why does god hide behind a cloud of fabrications
why does he hide inside these darn organizations
how does he expect us to believe without some answers
i dont want to go to hell but ill take my freaking chances

I don't want to go to hell but I'll take my chances.

Heh heheh According to alot of these people there's very few elect so the rest of us are screwed anyway. Why, if that's the case, isn't there total criminality? Have you read Socrates? He argued against the relativism of the sophists. Higher conscience over state law. Higher conscience over bible thumpers.
