The answer is so simple that when you hear it, you will never believe it.
It is right in front of you and if you don't look to deep, you may be able to see it.

MJK is one of the best lyricist of a generation.

When he was young his mom suffered an aneurysm, paralyzing her. She never lost faith. 

 

This event inspired these lyrics, it echos the reason so many dont believe. If there's a god, they just can't accept his 'plan'.

 

 Her name was Judith.

 

You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you

Oh so many many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why

Not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you

Here’s one that sounds strange to me - if I’m not mistaken, it is said that Jesus never sinned in his life. But how could that be? Even when he was a kid growing up, he didn’t commit even one sin? That doesn’t add up. 

It's because he was a fucking dweeb 😄

I am solipsistic person.

.

The answer is consciousness.

 

Without it, there is no universe.

As you know, I am an agnostic like you brother.

 

However if I was a believer I wouldn't blame a god for the bad shit that happens.

Just as I wouldn't attribute the good that happens to individuals, or events, to a god.

 

For starters good and bad, wrong and right, are subjective things. 

 

What mystifies me is that people who claim to be non believers, such as the person who wrote that song, seem quick to place the responsibility of bad things that happen to believers, on the god the believers, believe in.

Or at the very least use those bad things as a reason for the non existence of a god.

 

If we are to use that logic, does a subjective good provide evidence of a god ?

 

My life experience is bad things happen to all of us.

What defines us, is how we react/deal with those when they happen.

 

My oldest, closest friend, the best person I know, has had some really shitty things happen to him from the age of five onwards.

It how he has dealt with these events that is a major part of what makes him the best person I know. 

 

He doesn't attribute blame or carry malice in his heart.

In fact the very opposite is true, the  people who let him down, big time,  his family.

Later in life when they needed him the most he was, and still is there for them.

Not just that song, but after she passed exactly 10,000 days after that aneurysm, he wrote a couple more songs about her. Well it’s one song divided into 2 parts, like Parabol/Parabola. They’re Wings For Marie and 10,000 Days(Wings Pt. 2). The album they’re on is also called 10,000 Days. A lot of fans didn’t like it as much as their earlier albums, but it’s my favourite.

Interesting article about the disconnect between the teachings of Christian churches and what their church goers believe:

 

Catholics’ beliefs have little in common with Church teachings in Canada and the U.S.

 

Canadian Christians’ beliefs don’t necessarily match what their churches teach. That’s one of the key findings in a major new study by Cardus, Still Christian(?): What Canadian Christians Actually Believe. The survey of Canadian Christians found some significant inconsistencies between personal beliefs and historic church teachings

That so many don’t know, perplexes and saddens me still.

Wings for Marie was an amazing tribute by a son to a Mother. 
 

I still love it as amongst the best.
