Johnny Rationalist - The Baptists

A quick clip to the new demo "Johnny Rationalist" by the baptists! we recorded it in our mates bedroom (dave parker is a legend).


Break down
Don't ever throw it away
Never know what you've got until it's gone

Rise up
Fascism eats away
Your only fortress is your faith in god

My plea is desperate and my grief is great
My sickness is incurable but I must bear it

My minds a massacre, my heart is strong
My eyes are focusing and I am ready!

When there's no other way and all you can see is the end
It's no use lying don't try to pretend hold strong to the fortress he died to defend.

Picture this a world free of suffering, pillage and pain
When all that you've lost becomes all that you'll gain, don't hold back there's no time to refrain

Deception, from a government of disorder
You never did stand tall when you oughta!
Tear your false prophets down cos the plight of man wont last beyond the clutches of a masquerade

It's all the same to them when it's not their lives
And you can bury your sons to the sound of a lonely trumpet!
JOHNNY RATIONALIST!

....governments use religion to mask more sinister plights, for instance the on going war on terrorism is a war against "muslim extremists" (religion) however i dont need to remind you of the american governments envolvement for self-glorification and personal gain (oil). we, as a band, and more importaintly as christians, campaign for world rich with human dignity, hope, peace, liberty. a voice for those who cannot speak and ears for those who cant hear. if that constitutes a masquerade...

[SargentLepper]

thats a rather general comment you put forward there sir. you lable all "religion" in the same category in quite an ignorant manner.... further education in the mater would enduce a better understanding of the vast differences of each belief system. however you may not realise but your comment was very uplifting and supportive of the difference were endevour to make. indeed "religion IS governments greatest tool of deception". not so much here in australia but certainly in political history....

since the dawn of the age of christianity our world has crumbled, millions have been slaughtered, why cant people learn from the past and see change cannot come without change!

[fractionofthebeast]

no it wouldn elmer, survival of the fittest is for animals, we must do what we can for the survival of man kind and the erradication of all religion, would let man concerntrate on the real problems at hand, religion is an escape from reality and with out reality we are fucked, humans have a problem of distorting reality and it all adds up and leads us to our downfall, which is soon if things dont change!

@fractionofthebeast Forgive me if I dont believe that evolutionary, survival of the fittest thinking will create a utopia

[fractionofthebeast]

so in other words! you'll tell people what you want them to hear and beleive, with out an ounce of proof! christian voices must be silinced for the benefit of man kind! you have had your try and millions have died! its ATHEIST TIME! why dont you include that dave hates me cos im not christian in the info that screams hope, peace and liberty!!!

[fractionofthebeast]

it is ignorant for you to jump to the conclusion that i have no understanding of belief systems from one sentence i wrote! Maybe if you do some education yourself(of another relgion/belief) you will understand how misled you are! It is awesome your band is trying to promote hope and peace, but as a whole i dont think christian followers practice what they preach! It is a total shame that government has & continues to use religion to manipulate society!

[fractionofthebeast]

yes you are right it was general, but so are bible verses! Anyhow the deception i speak of seems to be working, the leaders use religion to manifest this idea that others(people of a different creed or such) are different from you! And it is much easier to justify inhumane treatment(or even killing) to the people when they are different from you isnt it? Imagine the uproar US citizens would cause if US troops attacked another english prodomantly christian country, but for now the remian quiet!

[fractionofthebeast]

indeed it is naive, its meant to be! but if its the most naive thing you have ever heard, that shows how much of a sheltered life you have lived or just how gulable you be! Baptist maybe a good band but they are misinformed, i think.

[05parkertron]

fractionofthebeast, that's the most naive thing I've ever heard. I guess generalisation like that suits you cause you don't want to have to think or find things out for yourself but in the end it's you who suffers.

baptists best band ever!
