I agree with Qryos. The song expresses the frustration I feel. Religious arguments are a cheat. They defy logic and common sense. Anyone can claim, "God says," about anything. It's a shortcut to supreme power and authority. If you can get enough people to say, "God says," you can get them to do all sorts of horrific things.

I found a nice video on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFt8WQkEvb8

This is also well done, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWntCFUawKA&NR=1

Those are awesome videos, thanks for sharing! I really love this song. If I didn't view it as a satire, I'd probably think it awful. But really, it makes me think, it makes me laugh. And above all, I understand his perspective.

I also love Coldplay's song...one of my favorites.
