i agree. the USA is supposed to have a seperation of church and state but christianity is so popular that the line dividing religion and government has wethered down so much. its horrible.
(3) no one is even close to certain of. Lets just sit back and enjoy the music, as that is why you came to this page, and put aside our religious differences (you know, like stop trying to force each others religious views down each others throats simultaneously). Oh, and thank you if you've read all of this, i hope its shed some light on to both groups situations. (BTW, im 15)
@2797276 "i'll tell you what they did with atheists for about 1500 years. you outlawed them from the universities, or any teaching careers, besmirched their reputations, banned or burned their books or their writings of any kind. drove them into exile, humiliated them, seized their properties, and arrested them for blasphemy. you dehumanized them with torture... and you have the nerve enough to complain to me that i laugh at you." -Dr. Madalyn Murray OHair.
if a person wants to believe in a religion that is fine but they have to be ready to have their beliefs roasted over the white hot fires of science, reason, evidence, and common sense. how is believing in a god any better than believing that leprechauns are keeping a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow or santa comes with presents? atheists mock theists because their beliefs are flawed and often hold back the advancement of things like science and medicine that could really help people
@welcome2insanity0 Yea A heap of scientists have believed in a higher power. In fact Christianity is where science originated from. I am Christian and I have no problem with science at all.
@2797276 You are pretty wise for 15. As a Christian (but still a BR fan) I just get upset when atheists try to portray me as an hateful, anti science, Republican when thats pretty much the total opposite of what I am.
(2) You're pressing you're atheistic values upon the commenters and the innocent bistanders of youtube. And isn't it hypocritcal to complain about their forcing their religion and certainty of a deity down your throat as you force your "knowledge" of the non-existance of a diety down theirs? Maybe you should consider the fact that we dont know shit for certain before you go on a hypocritical rant (this goes for you too, excessivally religious people) and attempt to claim knoledge on a subject
@2797276 just because you oppose christianity does not mean you are an atheist, it means you find it absolete in modern society, you can beleive in God but not a Jewish zombie.
(1) Im just saddened by what i see, i mean, im agnostic, i dont believe in any deity, but the (small) possibility doest exist which is why im not just flat out atheist. But anyways, i know that nearly all of you would agree that your number one complaint with overly religious people, *cough christian*, is their preaching, pressing, and forcing their religion upon you. It pisses me off too. But isn't that what many of you are doing by ranting against the simple possibility of a deity.
@Abercrombieand1Bitch Heaven may indeed be a souce of hope for the many people who live in misery and poverty... just as a bottle of booze is to many homeless. Both are vessels filled with hollow promise... the difference is one can be proven to be real.
I hate when people think this song is about religion... *sigh* Can't you understand the "American Jesus" is the fucking "American Way of Life" and your overnationalism?
@DeidaraAmped and i hate it when people take the meaning of songs to them as fact. Yes in my opinion you are right, but music can mean anything to anyone so who are you to say it means this and nothing else.
Really appreciate the lyrics, OP, but the Dum dum dah stuff is rather silly. And that's fine for most popular music, actually! But, not for a Bad Religion song. The topic is serious stuff.
A deity isn't consciousness, one generally defines something to exist when it manifests it's self in reality, not "can I see it" black holes are known to never be seen directly because it consumes light, but we can see it's effect in reality.
The reason why anyone would ask to prove that Santa doesn't exist is because people perform the burden of proof fallacy of "prove a god doesn't exist" when the burden of proof is on those who do believe.
I'm American and this song is EXACTLY what our government is like! Even our public schools are trying to convert us to Christianity, and tell us all these things are right that AREN'T!! (like Columbus day for one... The man raped a bunch of Natives, what's so great about that?)
@sailorxlee i'm an american citizen too but i disagree, god is a uniformal term (im a atheist) even though i dont agree with god. and Columbus day isn't a holiday well not where i live at least ...
@firemaster657 Columbus day is fucking.... Well, what is it? The man went to American and raped/murdered a bunch of Native Americans... Columbus day for me is pretty much Fuck America day, and I burn those little tiny flags.
@necrocoprophilia Hi. I read your comment and I don't think I made myself very clear. What I said in my comment is what I understood from the song. I got the rest from things I heard from other people and what I saw around me. I don't think Americans have the attitude so much as people in positions of power in America. I've met some Americans and they don't seem like the people I'm talking about. Looking back, it was an ignorant comment and I'm sorry for my ignorance and for offending you.
First time listening to Bad Religion I heard they were really good, I'm very impressed and I heard about them because they performed with Rise Against.
I never, said I was smarter then you! I'm saying that the creationist theology dose not explain how biology works, if we still went with creationist theology today we would not have develeped vacines, or that bactera can mutate and get use to a vacsine, that is evolution. I fill that some christians, reject all science, choose to ignore it! For example Pat Robertson, Ray Comfort, and Kirk Camoren! It's people like that that make it hard to realy accept christianity agien!!
@Supertotallyawesom hey at least this fight is between two intellectuals and some dumb ass little kids.These kind of fights are enjoyable and can be eye-opening.
@Supertotallyawesom Unfortunately yes. It's our place to put dumbass Christians in their place because those in positions of power keep pandering to their pathetic and harmful beliefs
@Supertotallyawesom That's because I have no beliefs, only an interpretation of the world as I currently understand it. You guys though, you still believe the same shit they believed in the Iron Age. We've moved on since then and are smart enough to say "upon rational inspection, there probably is no divine saviour of mankind"
@Supertotallyawesom There's always a chance for the most dearly held beliefs to be proved wrong, such is the nature of science. Our tiny human brains don't know anything for certain so we can only make approximations using our limited cognitive functions. Based on what we know, the chance of there being an absolute deity is negligible. A chance, but not one worth taking seriously
@Ultre Wow. Who would have thought that the answer to the question that has plagued humanity since the beginning would be found in a video comment on YouTube. What brilliance. What logic. WTF? You, my friend, speak from a position of complete ignorance on a vast number of things. You say "Our tiny human brains don't know anything for certain" but yet you still manage to conclude that there there is no "absolute deity". ???? Try demonstrating just a shred of intellectual honesty.
@MrPharside nice reading comprehension he specifically said that we can't conclude their is no god, just that the chance of their being one is negligible.
@MrPharside Making a rebuttal that simply discredits what a person said, without providing an actual counterargument, or anything with any substance whatsoever, is a horrible way to argue. And yeah, by the way, he was being completely intellectually honest when he said that there's only a negligible chance of there being a god. The only thing out there that actually supports that claim is faith, which is flawed in itself. Science and logic both reject that claim, and reject your petty faith.
I know plenty of christians who except evolution, evolution is the only way biology can be excplained. Creationism and intelligent design is not science, they dont even use the scientific methed, infact they do everything to bipass the scientific method by saying to reject creationism is to go agienst god's authority. Well, real science is anti-authoritative!!! I'm alot smarter then you think I am!
@metalcoma666 you should definitely go if you get the chance. i saw them last month with rise against and they played this song...it was so amazing. rise against is actually my favorite band but i gotta admit, BR puts them to shame in terms of quality of performance
They are so fuckin great... I tried to get tickets to their Boston show with Rise Against.... but I couldn't get tickets........ and it didn't help that two of my friends went and when they got back they said it was the best concert they have ever been to
Just saw Bad Religion and Rise Against at New York City's Terminal 5 and they were BEYOND amazing. This sound was one of the highlights for me that very epic night!
It sucks I want to watch these people play with Rise Against this Saturday, but my parents are serious Christians -.- Sure the song may be offensive to my beliefs (not really) but still....I really just want to see Rise Against :I
Well, that is the point (not being offencive) but the idea of bad religion songs is that they are trying to invoke intellectual thought, to question things. They are not anti-christ, but anti dogma. I used to be christian till I listion to them, i loved science even as a christian, but realised that the traditinal creationist theology is not scientific, but they wont you to think that way to reject science and evolution for religious/church authority
you mother fuckers are retarded. America is the last hope. anybody who cuts down our country either dont live here or is too blind and stupid to know just how damn good we got it. oh, and bad religion rules!
@MrCagekicker your a dumbass. they have the right to critisize america as they see fit. America is not the last hope. its just a nuisance to the world. sure we ousted a dictator from Iraq, 'stopped' the rise of communism in countries that CHOOSED it, crushed Hitler's Third Reich, and invaded all of Afghanistan to find one man.. But what do all have in common? They all were none of our business to begin with. Try that on for size. Why do we think that we are the world police force when we aren't?
this is what we need more of in music culture. rap say absolutly nothing anymore. death metal has nothing to say. and punk is all but dead. punk rock is about rebellioin about rising up against those who want to keep us down. well friends we live in a country were 95% of the wealth is controled by 5% of the population. punk rock is what we need more now than ever. fuk this emo crying crap. we need good old violent rebellion. how else are u going to take it back?
Not all punk is dead, there are some good underground punk, thrasher skate rock for example. You are right emo nuterd some of the punk scene, I used to like AFI but they became emo. Oh speaking of good punk, duane peters a skateboarder makes some good punk! US BOMBS, Die Hunns, Duane Peters and the huns. I still love the band Gang Green and DOA!!!!
@grumpers2000 hey man hip hop still says important stuff.. have you heard of immortal technique? maybe he does hip hop but you could use his lyrics for punk rock songs.. hes amazing
@grumpers2000 yeah rap used to be ok when it had meening with songs like mockingbird. now its just about having sum beer and having a good time. Death metal is shit, as is emo. Metal and Punk r what we need
@MrEPICinDAhouse that is not true actually it is quite a normal human emotion to want to take another humans life... the difference between normal people and murderers is that normal people keep their emotions in and murderers KILL
Depens who you include with 'we'. American has some of the most poor people in the world, and they live in some of the worst conditions of the world. Other countries got that too, but America has statistically more of them than most other developped nations. Further, your health care fails. Apart from that, nice country with nice people (save the stereotype red-neck, tea party gunfreaks, and the KKK).
Well, I got UN-numbers, you got a rant. Wanna guess who's more reliable? Further, READ (if you can) the tea party program, then you will notice that they ARE gunfreaks. I thought perhaps an american would know there own parties better than a foreigner. Or the English language, for that matters.
@FireCannon27 UN numbers? CLEARLY THOSE ARE 100% ACCURATE...
Where did you read the "tea party program?" It has nothing to do with guns. Plus, even if it did, what is wrong with owning weapons? Responsibly armed citizens are a police officer's best friend on the street. Look at the shootings at Virginia Tech for example. If the students had been allowed to carry their guns with them on campus, then they wouldn't have been shot running to their car to get them as they were.
You're right. RESPONSIBLY armed citizens are a friend of cops. Problem is a bit that between your citizens, there are nutcases. And those nutcases can break down, grab a gun and start shooting. In the US, schoolshootings aren't that rare. Why? Because every furious person can grab a firearm from the drawer! You're not allowed to own gas weapons, or bombs. Same reason.
And I guess UN numbers are a bit more accurate than whatever you may have, which is nothing.
@FireCannon27 Firstly, the United Nations is infamous for misrepresenting data and collecting off of ill-premise. Secondly, school shootings are extremely rare. Gas weapons and bombs are weapons made for mass destruction. They are in no way, shape, or form like a standard firearm, so why is that relevant? Sure angry people can grab weapons and hurt others, but that doesn't mean that they're some majory or represent anybody other than sociopaths.
@FireCannon27 The people who commit crimes aren't just psychopaths. Criminals are opportunists. America (as well as many other places (but i'll reference america specifically for this purpose)) affords many people great opportunities, so it's easy to take advantage of those people by being forceful or sneaky. Honestly, anti-gun laws don't really decrease the rate of murder, etc.
@FireCannon27 In places with heavy gun control laws (like D.C. and NY), crime is beyond control while in places with few gun control laws (like many cities in Texas and other states) crime is at historic lows. Hell, even in chicago (which has some of or probably the strictest gun control laws), the death rate for police officers is higher than anywhere else in the nation, so what has that proven? If somebody wants a gun, they'll get it from the border or off of the black market.
@FireCannon27 You can't stop people from obtaining and owning guns, you can only stop the people who want to responsibly own them. It's the same thing with drugs here. Drugs and guns alike, people are just going to get them anyway; whether or not it's from an unknown, unsafe black market dealer or from a dispensery where everything is labeled and sold honestly at cost in order to inform and educate the buyer matters because the people who buy them illegally can't be tracked or caught.
@FireCannon27 and if people are allowed to buy them legally, then there will be less incentive to buy one illegally. What person is going to break into a home if he thinks the person who owns the house that he's breaking into probably has a firearm and will use it? They'll get shot if they're caught. What if he's in a city like Chicago? No guns, so how do they stop him? He just goes in, waves his pistol, scares the family and walks out scott-free while the police spend 5-7 minutes showing up.
Sounds true in theory... yet the easier it is to buy guns legally, the highter homocide rates are. That rule works in the whole west (USA, Europe). In my country, I've taken a look at people who caused massacres before killing themsleves. Out of the last twenty, only one didn't have a lincence for a gun (which aren't easy to get, unless you've been a soldier). Gun owners seem a bit more quick to grab their precious firearms. You don't need an illegal gun to kill illegal.
@FireCannon27 and while it's true that you don't have to own an illegal gun to kill, it's much more convenient to own one and kill, as you are much more likely to get away with the crime. The idea is to affect murder rates indirectly; by labeling and selling guns legally at cost, incentive to buy legally will be created. Now either way, you aren't going to stop all murders in the world no matter what you do, but the idea is to be able to keep track of the guns and people who own them if they do.
@FireCannon27 Besides, if you want to bring ad hominem into the mix, then that's just fine with me. My grammar and composition is far more comprehensive than yours; that I can assure you. The only leg you have to stand on is an argumentative fallacy. So please, check nuts before you step.
lolz lolz lolz what exactly is the tea party and do they really have any influence? does the
'tea party" even exist in any real means? not really. this song is about government and corporations using religion for their agenda, very easy to catch that. God loves capitolism right? i mean let ppl pay for software that lets them share useless information and one man with a laptop can be a billionair, but ask most billionairs to "bail out" the 99% that bailed them out? communism. let go of isms
It was an ironic joke, dude. I know the song is about how Religion gets pumped into political agendas, but then again, it happens with just about everything in American politics, in the past and in the present and (unfortunately) probably the future. The Tea Party (and the GOP for that matter) have this holier than thou attitude. Bad Religion just captured that spirit in this song in 1993, and it fits well in American history wherever you put it. It's what makes the song iconic.
I think this song is about Americans having a lazy and arrogant attitude about their religion and their place in the world, so they try to globalize Christianity through acts of violence (like war). Because it's not enough that America is a Christian nation, other countries have to be too, apparently.
@MrXmyselfx Your comment would be spot on but you blew it at the end. America isn't a Christian nation. The largest religion celebrated here is Christianity but we're not a Christian nation. We're a secular nation.
@MrXmyselfx First of all, America is not a christian nation. yes, we were founded on christian principals but there are so many other religions and ideologies here that we cant call america christian as a whole. Second of all, we have never gone to war over religion. The war in Iraq is stupid, but it has nothing to do with religion, its about oil. Thats why, even though obama promised to get us out of it, we are still there. oil, not religion.
Actually we were founded on principles that were of the secular free thinkers of the day. Kinda why the first amendment spits on the face of the first 4 commandments.
@garith21 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. how bout u read that a few times so that u acctally no what ur talking about
Lol, how about you read the first 4 commandments in light of what the first amendment says.
The first amendment says that anyone is free to practice any or no religion w/o having any of those rights infringed upon, which is a secular free thinker idea. The first 4 commandments are only about worshiping this one particular god. The first amendment literally spits in the face of the first 4 commandments in this regard.
@Volitan93 even though thats true,its not,its mainly the fucking little 12 year olds who are the rich spoiled brats,what do you think,only 12 Percent of people on earth live in america. -A random Hawaii
@MsNomiss so you are sayiung that every other country or piece of land in the world is full of heresy and it shall remain in poverty just cause christ didnt touch it ?
Is this saying we use religion for the wrong reasons and we are abusing it to work for our advantage instead of using it for right reasons like peace and acceptance?
@ACDCJCUSMC i thought that at first but now im kinda thinking maybe its saying we feel as though were righteous people and need to destroy all the evil in the world.. kinda.. which would basically be almost the same thing
i agree. the USA is supposed to have a seperation of church and state but christianity is so popular that the line dividing religion and government has wethered down so much. its horrible.

@Supertotallyawesom There's always a chance for the most dearly held beliefs to be proved wrong, such is the nature of science. Our tiny human brains don't know anything for certain so we can only make approximations using our limited cognitive functions. Based on what we know, the chance of there being an absolute deity is negligible. A chance, but not one worth taking seriously

@Ultre Wow. Who would have thought that the answer to the question that has plagued humanity since the beginning would be found in a video comment on YouTube. What brilliance. What logic. WTF? You, my friend, speak from a position of complete ignorance on a vast number of things. You say "Our tiny human brains don't know anything for certain" but yet you still manage to conclude that there there is no "absolute deity". ???? Try demonstrating just a shred of intellectual honesty.

@MrPharside nice reading comprehension he specifically said that we can't conclude their is no god, just that the chance of their being one is negligible.
ronocko 1 month ago
@MrPharside Making a rebuttal that simply discredits what a person said, without providing an actual counterargument, or anything with any substance whatsoever, is a horrible way to argue. And yeah, by the way, he was being completely intellectually honest when he said that there's only a negligible chance of there being a god. The only thing out there that actually supports that claim is faith, which is flawed in itself. Science and logic both reject that claim, and reject your petty faith.

I know plenty of christians who except evolution, evolution is the only way biology can be excplained. Creationism and intelligent design is not science, they dont even use the scientific methed, infact they do everything to bipass the scientific method by saying to reject creationism is to go agienst god's authority. Well, real science is anti-authoritative!!! I'm alot smarter then you think I am!

Well, that is the point (not being offencive) but the idea of bad religion songs is that they are trying to invoke intellectual thought, to question things. They are not anti-christ, but anti dogma. I used to be christian till I listion to them, i loved science even as a christian, but realised that the traditinal creationist theology is not scientific, but they wont you to think that way to reject science and evolution for religious/church authority

Depens who you include with 'we'. American has some of the most poor people in the world, and they live in some of the worst conditions of the world. Other countries got that too, but America has statistically more of them than most other developped nations. Further, your health care fails. Apart from that, nice country with nice people (save the stereotype red-neck, tea party gunfreaks, and the KKK).

FireCannon27 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 UN numbers? CLEARLY THOSE ARE 100% ACCURATE...
Where did you read the "tea party program?" It has nothing to do with guns. Plus, even if it did, what is wrong with owning weapons? Responsibly armed citizens are a police officer's best friend on the street. Look at the shootings at Virginia Tech for example. If the students had been allowed to carry their guns with them on campus, then they wouldn't have been shot running to their car to get them as they were.
Ivantheterrible666 10 months ago
@Ivantheterrible666
You're right. RESPONSIBLY armed citizens are a friend of cops. Problem is a bit that between your citizens, there are nutcases. And those nutcases can break down, grab a gun and start shooting. In the US, schoolshootings aren't that rare. Why? Because every furious person can grab a firearm from the drawer! You're not allowed to own gas weapons, or bombs. Same reason.
And I guess UN numbers are a bit more accurate than whatever you may have, which is nothing.
FireCannon27 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 Firstly, the United Nations is infamous for misrepresenting data and collecting off of ill-premise. Secondly, school shootings are extremely rare. Gas weapons and bombs are weapons made for mass destruction. They are in no way, shape, or form like a standard firearm, so why is that relevant? Sure angry people can grab weapons and hurt others, but that doesn't mean that they're some majory or represent anybody other than sociopaths.
Ivantheterrible666 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 The people who commit crimes aren't just psychopaths. Criminals are opportunists. America (as well as many other places (but i'll reference america specifically for this purpose)) affords many people great opportunities, so it's easy to take advantage of those people by being forceful or sneaky. Honestly, anti-gun laws don't really decrease the rate of murder, etc.
Ivantheterrible666 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 In places with heavy gun control laws (like D.C. and NY), crime is beyond control while in places with few gun control laws (like many cities in Texas and other states) crime is at historic lows. Hell, even in chicago (which has some of or probably the strictest gun control laws), the death rate for police officers is higher than anywhere else in the nation, so what has that proven? If somebody wants a gun, they'll get it from the border or off of the black market.
Ivantheterrible666 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 You can't stop people from obtaining and owning guns, you can only stop the people who want to responsibly own them. It's the same thing with drugs here. Drugs and guns alike, people are just going to get them anyway; whether or not it's from an unknown, unsafe black market dealer or from a dispensery where everything is labeled and sold honestly at cost in order to inform and educate the buyer matters because the people who buy them illegally can't be tracked or caught.
Ivantheterrible666 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 and if people are allowed to buy them legally, then there will be less incentive to buy one illegally. What person is going to break into a home if he thinks the person who owns the house that he's breaking into probably has a firearm and will use it? They'll get shot if they're caught. What if he's in a city like Chicago? No guns, so how do they stop him? He just goes in, waves his pistol, scares the family and walks out scott-free while the police spend 5-7 minutes showing up.
Ivantheterrible666 10 months ago
@Ivantheterrible666
Sounds true in theory... yet the easier it is to buy guns legally, the highter homocide rates are. That rule works in the whole west (USA, Europe). In my country, I've taken a look at people who caused massacres before killing themsleves. Out of the last twenty, only one didn't have a lincence for a gun (which aren't easy to get, unless you've been a soldier). Gun owners seem a bit more quick to grab their precious firearms. You don't need an illegal gun to kill illegal.
FireCannon27 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 You are from netherlands? I have many friends in Netherlands. (: I hear it is beautiful as spring rolls around...
Ivantheterrible666 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 and while it's true that you don't have to own an illegal gun to kill, it's much more convenient to own one and kill, as you are much more likely to get away with the crime. The idea is to affect murder rates indirectly; by labeling and selling guns legally at cost, incentive to buy legally will be created. Now either way, you aren't going to stop all murders in the world no matter what you do, but the idea is to be able to keep track of the guns and people who own them if they do.
Ivantheterrible666 10 months ago
@FireCannon27 Besides, if you want to bring ad hominem into the mix, then that's just fine with me. My grammar and composition is far more comprehensive than yours; that I can assure you. The only leg you have to stand on is an argumentative fallacy. So please, check nuts before you step.

It was an ironic joke, dude. I know the song is about how Religion gets pumped into political agendas, but then again, it happens with just about everything in American politics, in the past and in the present and (unfortunately) probably the future. The Tea Party (and the GOP for that matter) have this holier than thou attitude. Bad Religion just captured that spirit in this song in 1993, and it fits well in American history wherever you put it. It's what makes the song iconic.

I think this song is about Americans having a lazy and arrogant attitude about their religion and their place in the world, so they try to globalize Christianity through acts of violence (like war). Because it's not enough that America is a Christian nation, other countries have to be too, apparently.
