I meant it like an acoustic version of a song almost always have some thing changed like instead of strumming the guitarist will finger pluck I didn't mean to piss anyone off
@70sdude117 no. It means its played without electric amplification. Why can't anybody on this video understand the literal meaning of that word. Fucking morons.
@punker406 um do you even know what it means to play a song acoustic. it means that you play it solo(most of the time but there are lots of exceptions) with no band backing you(again most of the time) and on an acoustic instrument. 
As someone who definitely believes in God I have so much respect for Frank Turner for sharing such powerful and personal thoughts with the world. This is really beautiful!
@R1CC099 but god doesn't exist someday when your dying you will realize this. It's a hard thing to come to terms with but you like everyone else will. "I know your scared of dying, I am too..." I wish there was a god but honestly I don't know.
@slvrstnthb you totally misunderstood what i was trying to say, only that the english language is stupid in this way. i do not believe in any god. so stop being so patronising.
@slvrstnthb i said english is stupid regarding this double negations, you wanted to explain to someone who does not believe in god that god does not exist =)
@willmoody1000 Why ever should you? If I can sing along to Sufjan Stephens at the top of my voice (and if you don't know him, please listen to Casimir Pulaski Day) then why shouldn't you appreciate such a great song by an atheist?
Frank Turner played this last night at the Phoenix, and had the entire room singing "there is no god!" It was the first time I've said this out loud... it was one of the most liberating moments of my life.
To all the people saying that its bad to sing this, consider what he said before playing this song at the show i was at:
' The way i see it is if you have an opinion, then grab a fucking microphone and sing it out. As i have the mic here i thinks its right to sing what i believe!'
P.s. To all you theists out there, he is not really saying that god doesnt exist, merely saying that all you need is other people ('there is no god, we are all in this together')...

@MegaSage007 We don't need a saviour, we never did. We have been held back from advancement by religious zealots with no humanity or common sense long enough. Why don't you believe in Allah, Mohammed, Thor or Vishnuh? All god's worshipped by millions at some point in history but you chose the bearded white guy. Well done, you went with the majority and followed the rest of the sheep. People like you think you can be a shit to others in this life because you'll get another shot. Hallelujah muppet
@danstrummer Sorry to hear you don't need a Saviour now.

I am over on the ATHEIST THEOLOGY vide o forum if you should want to get this matter straightened out.
I think what he's saying when he says "Lets have a carnival feast" is because he said "forget about the fast". So instead of hardly eating, have some food. :D its not a call to sin, its a call to food. :L
@MegaSage007 So this "God" who made me on his own will and gave me the free will to decide what's right and wrong is going to tell me that what I say is right is wrong? Doesn't sound like free will to me. I'd rather go to hell than live in that straight-jacket.
Why are Atheists still scared of being known? You think there is some bloke in the sky who's marking down every good and bad thing you do on a big piece of paper to decide whether you're a good person or not? That when you die you get to a big set of gates with some bloke called Pete asking if you're on the list? It's a bleeding fairytale. A lie. A mistruth. A con. A joke. A way to scare dumb people into bowing their heads. I ain't bowing to something that I've never seen. No way, no how. Ever!
@sweetmonkeylove1 Don't let those bastards grind you down mate. YOu've got as much right as anyone to believe what you choose too. If you want to believe that it's just you, me and all the other people in the world making the best of what we can without some finger wagging myth dictating our destination then you believe it. I do. And so do many, many others. You ain't alone mate, none of us are. We got each other to count on. I'd rather have that than some imaginary dad above tutting at us.
He DID have serious balls to write this and release it on EKmB. I always think of it more as a carpe diem sort of song rather than a blatant atheistic one, especially with his whole emphasis with the lines "So just accept that there's an end game and we haven't got much time, and then in the here and now we can try and do things right." It's always so uplifting after having a really shit day. I wish I was best friends with this guy...
@EnterKrooked no he's not, its a subtle satire on slang wherein people use double negatives despite being unaware that they have contradicted what they actually mean! He definitely doesn't believe in a God lol
best leave a comment before those uppity bible belt'ers get involved... those saying about where atheists get the morals... well they're own humanity, it doesn't take some 'divine' zeus a-like to tell people how to behave. now, i believe that i'm a good, honourable, moral and overall decent person, i solemnly believe in the inherent goodness of humanity, as frank says 'we're all in this together' so love, like and behave not for some all 'loving' old man, do it because it's the right thing to do
Lol, this tune reminds me of that.. Today I use the Freemason definition of a God, "The Divine Creator of the Universe" This can mean anything to anyone, to me the Divine Creator is a natural phenomenon, I don't worship a god or the big bang but I'm glad it happened..
@rappppppist i know, i am very christian, i dont agree with the lyrics but the tune gets stuck in my head. One night i was drunk and started sining it with those lyrics lol. thats all
If people can preach about there being a God, why can't people preach about there not being one? It's exactly the same - expressing ones belief. And if a song like this can cause worry and anger then you need more faith.
i saw this man perform this at donington england just a few weeks ago, the man has a belief as we all do, "im the one on stage, ive got a croud, my turn to say what i believe" his words then, you dont agree with his belief then get your own stage and some people who want to listen to you, untill then keep your bollocks to yourself!
There is no God? But where did humanism got their morality? You may do "moral" stuffs on the outside but have you tried checking your motive behind. What about the things that enters your mind and your heart? The Bible says, "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Do you pass this test? If not, then you really need Jesus Christ.
@ByJustified Humanists get their morals from the same place believers do... other humans. No matter how much you try to deny this by claiming superiority of YOUR human-derived morals, it will not change the facts. If there is any god, I highly doubt he would instill a moral code as confusing and downright evil as the one in the sacred texts of modern day religions.
@ComradeNu..You said, "the same place believers do?" May I ask what's that? What sacred text of "modern-day" religion are you referring? Let's engage in an academic dialogue here. It is unfortunate how atheist people cannot trace where morality comes. This is what I suggest to all atheist out there. Why don't you get out of that country that has majority of the people who believes in God and form another society in another island. Let's see where you will get your morals. No copying please!
@ByJustified You can't be serious. We're not going to have an "academic dialogue" if your only solution is to ship people who disagree with you off wholesale. This country does not belong to you, even if you are in the majority. Read the constitution. Oh, here are some countries where the majority don't believe in god(s): Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, France... clearly these countries are falling apart due to moral decay. Educate yourself.
@ByJustified "It is unfortunate how atheist people cannot trace where morality comes"
I did. Twice. Do you need another lesson?
"Why don't you get out of that country that has majority of the people who believes in God and form another society in another island."
Why should I? The constitution ensures that no theistic jerks can tell me how to live my life to please their god. I'll stay here where it can protect me.
@ByJustified "So how did you trace atheistic morality?"
How did I do it? I studied and learned about human history.
"Who made the US constitution by the way?"
That would be the delegates of the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention.
"Are they atheist or theist?"
Some were secular, some christian. But they all agreed that the law of the land should be free of religious influence. So it doesn't really matter what their beliefs were.
@BailiffQuimby And what human history period was that? Who were those "secular" and Christians whom you claim are delegates of Philadelphia Constitution Convention? I hope you will be specific with your answer and not just post in general statement. Let's not leave any stones unturned here. 
@ByJustified "And what human history period was that?"
Mostly the stone-bronze age, when humans started to live in communities.
"Who were those "secular" and Christians whom you claim are delegates of Philadelphia Constitution Convention?"
Minimally, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin and Madison were secular in their beliefs. And like I said, their individual religions are irrelevant, since they all agreed religion had no place mixing with law.
@ByJustified Why does every internet conversation involving Americans have to refer to the US constitution as an infallible source of morals? Might it be possible to learn your own lessons from history rather than trying to win an argument using a two hundred year old document?
@thunderstickme The consititution is a fine document that protects its' only protectors at this point in history (Libertarian Mmmmericans like myself).
@ByJustified "If not, then you really need Jesus Christ."
Jesus' system of morals is corrupt and reprehensible. There's no accountability for one's actions, provided one accepts Jesus and honestly repents. Meanwhile, there's an abominably imbalanced punishment for people who live their lives with impeccable morals and happen not to worship your god. You'd be better off getting your moral code from Richard Nixon.
Awwh, good song you've got going on here, my only worry is that posting this on youtube is going to result in a religion war when the message is to get on with life like God, if he existed, probably wants you to do anyway...
@genderbenderphile Then it should've been a "religion-war" on every christian video on youtube. If there'll be religious people coming here complaining about others opinions that will just show how ignorant they are.
@oananbr Well, to be honest anyone who starts an argument on a Frank video, pro- or anti-religion, should be ashamed, it's not what he wrote the song for, and if you disagree, state your opinion, or leave and find something that doesn't challenge your world view, if someone starts getting at your opinion and is provoking you, be the bigger person and walk away.
Dear all theists. You guys are wrong, you can search for your square circle all you want you will only waste your life on it.
Dear all atheists, you accept the question "is there a god" but answer it 'no', you need proof.
Dear all agnostics. fucking fence sitters make a decision.
And finally dear all non theists. Bang on there lads, dissolving the question rather than accepting it, its not a case of there is no god (atheists) its a case of dismissing the problem as pseudo.
@gregvok erm, I consider myself an agnostic because I just don't give a shit if there is a god or there isn't. I just want to live my life. So fuck you.
@nirvanamannequinmuse your still sitting on the fence though. Its not like when you start contemplating weather or not there is or isn't a god you cease you cease to live. At the end of the day you bring nothing forward that's why your a fucking fence sitter!
@gregvok I dont think you get the concept: agnostic. Its simply that we can not dissprove that there is a god, and therefore we allow for the possibilety of there actualy being a god. Just deciding something without proof is like a religion itself. That said I do not act as a religious person, i have seen no proof/indication of a magical man in the sky and will therefore not behave like there is one.Imo religions behave very much like a virus and im in no way a fan, i just cant prove them wrong.
Man speaks the truth. You see, when it comes to religion, all religious people are completely blind to the truth, because its the simplest and most believable answer. There is no God.
@deathmad4444 yes mate was on the barrier with him infront amazing XD sang nearly everyword :)  (when i say sang i ment shouted as loud as i could) XD
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love Frank Turner but this just goes against all my beliefs I don't know whether to dislike him or not. I hope he believes one day that there is a God, I adore him so much, it'll be such a waste to have him in hell when judgement comes :(
@94damilola Mate you dont have to dislike him just because he doesnt have the same beliefs as you. i believe that everyone should be allowed their own oppinion and be allowed to voice it and this is exactly what he is doing, i do believe before playing this song most of the time he talks to the audience and tells them a very similiar thing to what ive said everyone can believe what they want mate dnt go off him keep listening.
God is an all knowing and all powerful creator to you, isn't he? Well, consider this: Since God is all powerful, he has power over time. Since he is all knowing, he knows everything that has occurred and that will occur. Therefore, he allowed Frank to be born into this world KNOWING that he would become an atheist and write this song.
Do you see how fucking retarded your religion's logic is, now?
@RedWildz fuck logic and fuck all peoples rants on here. you can argue the point for ages and grow only in anger and resentment for those on the other side of the argument, being no closer to any kind of answer.
Exactly the type of attitude responsible for the perpetuation of these arguments. Instead of taking that logic and thinking critically over it, then applying it to their lives, people dismiss it as "trying to start a fight" or some other bullshit. Use your fucking brains; stop simply processing knowledge and start considering it.
@RedWildz Seriously? That is your proof? Take it from an agnostic: Your approach to the question is wrong in sooo many ways. Why would you assume that any god wouldn't like this song? Why would a god want to have a puppet theater in which he holds all the strings? Why do you try to tackle a question of faith and believe with logic? You can only believe in stuff you can't prove because once it is proven ... well do you need a lot of faith to "believe" in gravity?
Where did I assume that God (the Christian one, as I was referring to) wouldn't like this song? And who said anything about asking "why" this God would want a puppet theater? The question of faith lies in whether or not there is a god. Faith CANNOT defend blind ignorance. Faith and belief CANNOT defend the fact that an omnipresent god contradicts itself on an infinite (literally) number of levels.
Gravity is an observable, quantifiable force. God is not.
@RedWildz i haven't insulted you and i ask that you don't insult me either ok? I respect everyone's choices whatever they are, i have made mine and it's not your place to say that my religion's logic is retarded. Just like there is God; there is Satan, some are for God some are for the devil. I don't need you to believe me to live a fulfilled life, just respect what i believe in and keep you opinions to yourself. Ok? thanks.
@joelyboi1000. Religion is for people who are afraid to question what is real,Christianity is for people who are afraid to question Religion. Sam Davies. Its easier to say there is a god and that once we all die if we have been good little children then we will go to a place in the sky with clouds and good everywhere, it's harder to say that that will not happen, and that whatever you do, you are still going to die, and will still end up with everyone else. If god was real, he would hate us all.
@gregorymwishart The point i was trying to make but didn't come out particularly well is... There is no up, there is no down, there is NO GOD ! NO SATAN ! NO HEAVEN ! NO HELL ! just a hole in the ground (or ash) and we slowly decompose... If there is God, then let it judge me for what i am, I'm not a bad person, I'M A LOGICAL PERSON ! WE ARE ALL OUR OWN GODS, WE ALL CONTROL WHO WE ARE, NOT SOME DEITY !!!!
@joelyboi1000 How do you know what god is like ? we should 'believe' the evidence and If your conclusion  is that an all knowing, all powerful creator god is watching over us , heart filled with love for each and every soul ... Frankly you must be utterly delusional ,That's probably why you have the arrogance to tell us all what god is like . So to humour you please do tell us all what god IS like ,and how you know this
@joelyboi1000 Is that why he cures the rich man of cancer and allows several million africans to die of AIDS every day? And is that why he choses favourites over other religions? (Such as the Jews, only to allow them to be mass murdered in the holocaust) With evil all around, one really has to question God's omnibenevolence. Actually, it would probably be easier to call it Malevolence. J L Mackies Inconsistant triad. Read it, learn it, understand it. Then try to come back and tell me God is love
@dudette201 The questions you have can be theologically answered, bad things happen to both good and bad people- But anyway, if I was to meet you in person or something I'd be so up for a good chat or a debate!
Yeah! He Loves us all! Just not africans! JOY for starving people and Aids and worms and bacterial infections! Let us rejoice with Genocides! Praise viruses that decimate poor populations! Huraaayy! God LOVES you. He just wants that worm to eat your childs eye, thats all. Its a part of his mysterious and great plan!! Loove!!! Joy!!
Great song. I believe in some notion of a supernatural ultimacy or absolute truth but I very much appreciate the creative expression of atheism with emotional fervor through music. It's beautiful.
I love that there are only 2 dislikes for this song. I hope that even people who do believe in a god can appreciate the sentiment behind the song : )
@punker406 that's sometimes the case, yes. But I don't understand how you could interpret the word "acoustic" to mean anything but.

Why are Atheists still scared of being known? You think there is some bloke in the sky who's marking down every good and bad thing you do on a big piece of paper to decide whether you're a good person or not? That when you die you get to a big set of gates with some bloke called Pete asking if you're on the list? It's a bleeding fairytale. A lie. A mistruth. A con. A joke. A way to scare dumb people into bowing their heads. I ain't bowing to something that I've never seen. No way, no how. Ever!

@sweetmonkeylove1 Don't let those bastards grind you down mate. YOu've got as much right as anyone to believe what you choose too. If you want to believe that it's just you, me and all the other people in the world making the best of what we can without some finger wagging myth dictating our destination then you believe it. I do. And so do many, many others. You ain't alone mate, none of us are. We got each other to count on. I'd rather have that than some imaginary dad above tutting at us.

He DID have serious balls to write this and release it on EKmB. I always think of it more as a carpe diem sort of song rather than a blatant atheistic one, especially with his whole emphasis with the lines "So just accept that there's an end game and we haven't got much time, and then in the here and now we can try and do things right." It's always so uplifting after having a really shit day. I wish I was best friends with this guy...

best leave a comment before those uppity bible belt'ers get involved... those saying about where atheists get the morals... well they're own humanity, it doesn't take some 'divine' zeus a-like to tell people how to behave. now, i believe that i'm a good, honourable, moral and overall decent person, i solemnly believe in the inherent goodness of humanity, as frank says 'we're all in this together' so love, like and behave not for some all 'loving' old man, do it because it's the right thing to do

When I was 13(now 30) I wrote the following:
I made God and I'm here to confess
He's an ordinary man, like all the rest.
I made him up, wrote a book
I said "Jesus Christ!" take a look.
Lol, this tune reminds me of that.. Today I use the Freemason definition of a God, "The Divine Creator of the Universe" This can mean anything to anyone, to me the Divine Creator is a natural phenomenon, I don't worship a god or the big bang but I'm glad it happened..

There is no God? But where did humanism got their morality? You may do "moral" stuffs on the outside but have you tried checking your motive behind. What about the things that enters your mind and your heart? The Bible says, "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Do you pass this test? If not, then you really need Jesus Christ.
ByJustified 7 months ago
@ByJustified Humanists get their morals from the same place believers do... other humans. No matter how much you try to deny this by claiming superiority of YOUR human-derived morals, it will not change the facts. If there is any god, I highly doubt he would instill a moral code as confusing and downright evil as the one in the sacred texts of modern day religions.
ComradeNu 7 months ago
@ComradeNu..You said, "the same place believers do?" May I ask what's that? What sacred text of "modern-day" religion are you referring? Let's engage in an academic dialogue here. It is unfortunate how atheist people cannot trace where morality comes. This is what I suggest to all atheist out there. Why don't you get out of that country that has majority of the people who believes in God and form another society in another island. Let's see where you will get your morals. No copying please!

@ByJustified You can't be serious. We're not going to have an "academic dialogue" if your only solution is to ship people who disagree with you off wholesale. This country does not belong to you, even if you are in the majority. Read the constitution. Oh, here are some countries where the majority don't believe in god(s): Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, France... clearly these countries are falling apart due to moral decay. Educate yourself.

@ByJustified "It is unfortunate how atheist people cannot trace where morality comes"
I did. Twice. Do you need another lesson?
"Why don't you get out of that country that has majority of the people who believes in God and form another society in another island."
Why should I? The constitution ensures that no theistic jerks can tell me how to live my life to please their god. I'll stay here where it can protect me.
"No copying please! "
Why? You did.

@BailiffQuimby... So how did you trace atheistic morality? Who made the US constitution by the way? Are they atheist or theist?
ByJustified 7 months ago
@ByJustified "So how did you trace atheistic morality?"
How did I do it? I studied and learned about human history.
"Who made the US constitution by the way?"
That would be the delegates of the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention.
"Are they atheist or theist?"
Some were secular, some christian. But they all agreed that the law of the land should be free of religious influence. So it doesn't really matter what their beliefs were.
BailiffQuimby 7 months ago
@BailiffQuimby And what human history period was that? Who were those "secular" and Christians whom you claim are delegates of Philadelphia Constitution Convention? I hope you will be specific with your answer and not just post in general statement. Let's not leave any stones unturned here. 
ByJustified 7 months ago
@ByJustified "And what human history period was that?"
Mostly the stone-bronze age, when humans started to live in communities.
"Who were those "secular" and Christians whom you claim are delegates of Philadelphia Constitution Convention?"
Minimally, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin and Madison were secular in their beliefs. And like I said, their individual religions are irrelevant, since they all agreed religion had no place mixing with law.
BailiffQuimby 7 months ago
@ByJustified Why does every internet conversation involving Americans have to refer to the US constitution as an infallible source of morals? Might it be possible to learn your own lessons from history rather than trying to win an argument using a two hundred year old document?

@ByJustified "If not, then you really need Jesus Christ."
Jesus' system of morals is corrupt and reprehensible. There's no accountability for one's actions, provided one accepts Jesus and honestly repents. Meanwhile, there's an abominably imbalanced punishment for people who live their lives with impeccable morals and happen not to worship your god. You'd be better off getting your moral code from Richard Nixon.

Dear all theists. You guys are wrong, you can search for your square circle all you want you will only waste your life on it.
Dear all atheists, you accept the question "is there a god" but answer it 'no', you need proof.
Dear all agnostics. fucking fence sitters make a decision.
And finally dear all non theists. Bang on there lads, dissolving the question rather than accepting it, its not a case of there is no god (atheists) its a case of dismissing the problem as pseudo.

gregvok 8 months ago
@gregvok I dont think you get the concept: agnostic. Its simply that we can not dissprove that there is a god, and therefore we allow for the possibilety of there actualy being a god. Just deciding something without proof is like a religion itself. That said I do not act as a religious person, i have seen no proof/indication of a magical man in the sky and will therefore not behave like there is one.Imo religions behave very much like a virus and im in no way a fan, i just cant prove them wrong.

@94damilola
God is an all knowing and all powerful creator to you, isn't he? Well, consider this: Since God is all powerful, he has power over time. Since he is all knowing, he knows everything that has occurred and that will occur. Therefore, he allowed Frank to be born into this world KNOWING that he would become an atheist and write this song.

@RedWildz Seriously? That is your proof? Take it from an agnostic: Your approach to the question is wrong in sooo many ways. Why would you assume that any god wouldn't like this song? Why would a god want to have a puppet theater in which he holds all the strings? Why do you try to tackle a question of faith and believe with logic? You can only believe in stuff you can't prove because once it is proven ... well do you need a lot of faith to "believe" in gravity?
jonidas321 8 months ago
@jonidas321
Where did I assume that God (the Christian one, as I was referring to) wouldn't like this song? And who said anything about asking "why" this God would want a puppet theater? The question of faith lies in whether or not there is a god. Faith CANNOT defend blind ignorance. Faith and belief CANNOT defend the fact that an omnipresent god contradicts itself on an infinite (literally) number of levels.
Gravity is an observable, quantifiable force. God is not.
