Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

	I like what Empire Of Dirt says the most. Trent Reznor is Athiest! Not -just- anti-christ. He doesn't like religion whatsoever. And he says why in this song. "He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep alive" We're his flock of sheep. He's depicted as all powerful. The strongest being. It's supposed to keep us in line, to keep us from destroying ourselves. "He made a virus to kill off all the swine" In one of my religious arguments I was told that in the Bible God DID make a virus at some point. (Of course this is just bullshit, people ever hear of a plague? Lmao.) But then what dorepoll says makes sense as well. God Is Dead No One Cares. Meaning, to him, and many others now a days. God is dead. We don't care about him. None of us really follow religion(There are some still though.) And "If there is a hell I'll see you there" Supposively if you don't have faith you'll go to hell. Sooo.. If there is a hell, all of us who don't believe will be there. ANd Trent obviously doesn't have Christians for a target audience, so he's saying that to us, his listeners and fans. "His perfect kingdom, of killing suffering and pain" Earth was supposed to be the perfect kingdom for us humans, but there's killing, suffering, and pain running rampant all over. We all feel suffering, and pain at one point. We all see killing happening somewhere, if not just the news. "Demands devotion, atrocities done in his name" If you're not faithful, you'll go to hell. Simple and done. That's what the bible says. Atrocities done in his name; What do we call Tornadoe's, flash floods, typhoon's, or any "natural disasters"? We call them "acts of god." And they all kill, destroy, and cause pain in some form or another. So lollirott, it's not sarcasm. It's his true belief. See? Trent is just singing how he disagrees with religion, and if there is a god, he's full of misdevotion. And if everything that is said to keep us in line for religions is true, then we'll be in hell. But the song also clearly states that he doesn't care if he goes to hell for being unfaithful. "God Is Dead No One cares" That's what the chorus is saying. "So what, I don't believe in you, if you're there, send me to hell." The start also has a lot of meaning: "He Sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see" This is the person who made christianity, he's afraid to see how the world is, he wanted it changed. He wanted it to be "perfect." "He tries to tell me what I put inside of me" Well... Isn't it true? Christianity tries to tell us what we're all about. What our emotions should be. "He Got the Answers to ease my curiousity" People always have questioned: "Who, What, Where, When, How." So, Christianity was made to try and answer these questions. (Sounds a lot like a legend now, doesn't it?) And what's all of this tie in to create...!? GOD! Christianity in general! Voila! =D So this is what I think the song is about.

	God hates us all, hes there but he .........(wispers) he isnt too fond of us. Im a big fan of nihilism myslef, althought what a nihilistic society looks like...... worse then hitlers! But you dont need to be an atheist to be an nihilist, its far more to that then going around being an anarchic/atheist, a lot deeper. I like the lyrics too, but the marching band music slaps a big ol smile on me face!

	The Lord is a man of war. Exodus 15:3

	I think the "he made a virus that would kill off all the swine" part refers to the belief that this so-called "God" is against homosexuality and that the virus is AIDS. All-around great song, and I love how Reznor makes fun of the beliefs of Christians. Thank god i'm an atheist :D.

	Agreed, Chrissy. Makes me sad when people only look at the bad.
