awesome that there's so much bigotry in here against Christians, I'm a christian and i like trents music, but not this one obviously if i can listen with an open mind why can't you guys?
Fuck the rules man, Christianity is just a method of controlling the masses, like sheep. Blame Constantine for turning pagan beliefs into the standard religion of Constantinople.
I have this song on Itunes, but I chose to come and listen to it on youtube to see what kind of bullshit people would write about it. haha, thanks for the cheap entertainment fuckers!
you are aware that this song is part of The Downward Spiral which is a concept album? It tells the story of a man who tears every layer of society off of him and sees how everything he has is empty and hollow. He progressively descends into self loathing and depression, attempting to become a God in his own right (hence Closer, Ruiner, etc) while struggling through the cold emotionless side of himself and in the end he commits suicide. It doesn't really support and beliefs.
@awake352 His albums tell a story? Jesus, just when I didn't think Trent couldn't get more amazing! I knew his music was the story of his life but I didn't know it was ACTUALLY a story! Amazing.
This song isn't about Christianity being false. At least not entirely. It's about HIV and how Christianity tends to call it a punishment, and Trent's fear of obtaining it. If anything it's rejecting God, not denying his existence. Get your facts straight first before posting.
@StickyInADarkBlueCut "He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line. He made a virus that would kill off all the swine. His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering in vain demands devotion, atrocities done in his name." If you're going by the Ruiner interpretation of the album, this isn't about denying God, this is about defying him. The man no longer wants God in his life so he removes him and takes his place in the Ruiner, using sex, such as in Closer- "You get me closer to God"
@Karakuri139 I really like that explanation. I always heard that closer wasn't really about sex but about getting high.. if you think about it all the lyrics in closer could relate to gettng stoned but only trent knows for sure

"God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
Demands devotion atrocities done in his name"
Yep, that sounds about right. Thank you for making me look up the lyrics of this song, the song is far too muffled to hear "he made a virus"

Try reading the Bhagavad Gita with purport by Prabhupada. Then you might understand.
