Apostate ft Markus from Sabella Dear lord As I grew up I felt the embrace Of the church As I grew up I watched the poor grow poorer I watched the weak get weaker As I grew up I couldn’t reconcile The bible with my own two eyes Your scripture could be so powerful Human nature was your true downfall Your god’s actions speak not of mercy But sinister suffering And sadistic pleasure From their blind trust and faith They gave their lives up to you And in return receive pain and loss Markus Blow out the candle, I have given up It was all just fools gold, I was never enough Selling hope to the hopeless, just for a cut You play on weakness, you prey on the lost It was just a joke, it was all in my head I wont live on my knees, rather be left for dead How can you reconcile the words of the bible With the suffering around you False

False False False Faith Falsified belief systems Manipulated masses Pariah of the world Faith fuelled leaders Acting for Faithful masses Where were your calls for peace When the world was calling for it Your Christian god condones this violence In his name 21st century crusade No crusade No police state Erase the fucking taint Erase your diseased faith No more governments No police state Erase the fucking taint Erase your diseased faith Rhyse: Erase the fucking taint Erase your diseased faith Burn the cross until he shows his face Reveal the pain your ruler creates Terror, hatred for different views We are not the sinners The blood is on your hands Erase the faith Burn the cross

about

I wrote my parts of this, along with another track last year when I was struggling to deal with what part religion was playing in my life.
I find it hard to reconcile the bible with what I see around me, and the actions of the church. Christianity as non institutionalised religion and the words of the New Testament are important, and provide a good way to live, but the way it's interpreted can be damaging.
Basically, I struggle with the long standing theological argument that if God is omniscient and omnibenevolent then how can evil and evil actions exist within the world.
