A committed Christian commented on a different version of this song and said something like, "I don't believe that, Newman must be a really messed up person." I replied, "Maybe he wrote this song to give you a bit of a feeling how Jesus might have felt looking at humanity 2,000 years ago." I don't think RN or I will ever know enough to say God exists or doesn't. But if he does, this attitude of tragic sadness has a ring of truth to it.

@jeanhartely It's not anti religion, it's anti human. In the song, he hates us because of how awful we are to each other:
"I recoil in horror, at the foulness of thee."

@gldmj55 HAHA THAT is effin funny!
-
@TheGreaterGood80 Nothing or nobody is worthy of "worship". It's an ignorant supplication and a dishonor to ratioal thought. I'm Buddhist, but I don't "worship" Buddha, I follow his teachings and attempt to live my life on this earth (not in some afterlife fantasy) with integrity and love.

God is just a projection of man's fear of his mortality. period.

Seeing as the comments below me say with some insistence that they're a product of the 70's, I feel obligated to say this is one one my favorite songs of all time, I even used it for my "favorite poem" unit in HS. Some young people love Randy too. Randy is timeless.

This is a rare performance -- 1972. I just have to comment on this video because Randy Newman is one of the most talented songwriters ever. Prolific and Profound.
