Reviews for Judith Lyrics

Some of you people are too much...What happened to freedom of speech. He's talking to his mom about what he's witnessed personally with her and her beliefs. I feel the SAME way that he does towards my family. I was brought up around a bunch of Christians and I quickly learned that was NOT my way....I could listen to this song nonstop for the rest of my life and not get tired of it.

I think its messed up that these guys have made a song like that. At least have some respect for other peoples beliefs. i don't think id ever be able to say things like. Its not Gods fault that his mom died, everyboby dies man its not an uncommon thing. It sucks that his mom died but its not God's fault don't blame Him. There are just really bad things that happen and sometimes to good people and we don;t know why but i think one day we'll know the answers we look for.

there is proof that jesus did do the miriclas, the prophacies he made came true, he fulfiled most of the one in the old testement and will finish the rest when he comes back. he did rise from the dead, or else the disiples wont go out there way and die for a lie and all the other people who saw jesus after his death, some crucified or burnt at the stake/ paul he was against jesus and then follwed to death.

would they have died for a lie? and if it was a lie it would of not made it this far.

i think maynard is buddhist ..i read it on a fan site some years ago, so he might not be atheist, but he is not christian, that must be true, but it's been proved that jesus existed , but the nothing proves the miracles he made...so he could be like a prophet but not a god

GOD = FEAR..instal fear in the heart & mind of man, they'll comply & do anything!!
A Christian preist told me that, i come from an Orthodox background, ive read the bible as contradicting an incestous as it may be it doesnt say to cause harm 2 another, thou ur GOD is not a nice GOD..talkin shit about burn in hell, earth is heaven & hell..we live it every day, eg destruction that kills many is hell on earth, when u feel good an ur on cloud #9 thats heaven, u see a beautiful women resembles what u may percieve to be angel like, ur child been born, thats heaven..

God is ur concious..u dnt need to read the bible to kno whats good an bad, weather ur hurting sumone or not, depends on ur actions & what comes out of ur mouth
thou on the contray since human fell out of the trees we have seeked an aspired to belong an be loved, life is to short to think it doesnt go on after this

as for jesus he did exist, but he didnt come here to save u lol thats the biggest load of crap i have ever heard, seriously!! he's a jew an the jews dont even regard him as a saviour

religion & pollitician..lies to us all (we dont even kno the half of it)

when in this song does Maynard acknowledge that God exists? Nowhere is there evidence for that. "Fuck YOUR God." How crystal clear could he be in stating that he's atheist? And you religious idiots should stop calling Maynard an egotistical prick who thinks he's too superior for religion. He's an artist in a war against the evil that religion spreads. Sure, some of it's helpful. But he's not singing about fuck charitable church organizations, he's talking about his mother's suffering due to her beliefs. He felt it was completely unjustified for her to suffer and it probably broke his heart.

You're quite incorrect on quite a few things. Number one, if Maynard were an athiest he would not acknowledge that God/Jesus etc... even existed. I'm not saying I know what he believes, but you should know the correct definition of atheism before claiming someone does or doesn't follow that belief system. This song makes me feel as though he hates God/Jesus...and you can't hate something if you don't think it exists.

Beyond that, the bible isn't complete horse shit. Is everything meant to be taken literally in the bible? I highly doubt it. Does the book provide some good, and positive ways to treat others and live your life? Absolutely! I think that's what it's meant for.

And, to address your thoughts on creation...I don't think the 7 days are to be taken literally as 7 24 hours days. Perhaps each day is supposed to represent milleniums. This could also encompass and include evolution into creation. I absolutely believe a supreme being capable of creation exists, but I also don't deny the role evolution has played in history.

So, before you make ranting posts claiming this and that is a bunch of shit, think a little bit more deeply about things first. Oh, and as for having never met a decent Christian, you're an idiot. They're everywhere if you pay attention. Being Christian doesn't mean never making a mistake...it means believing in God and doing the best you can to serve others...not to say I'm Christian, just that there are quite a few I know and respect.

Be a little more open minded, sir/ma'am. That is all.

not an athiest, he obviously acknowledges there is a God but hates Him because his mommy died like everyone else will die. He's just looking for an excuse to rant about God because he thinks his intellectual mind is so supreme and is disgusted by people who choose to believe the simple truth. It is too simple for him cause he thinks he is so smart with his i.q. or whatnot. He is so blinded by his own hatred when there are literally tens of thousands, if not more, of examples of miracles done in the name of Jesus Christ, that have happened in this century alone. But it would not matter if one took place right in front of his eyes because the proud and selfish are in a prison they can't see with their eyes. Of course the song is very alluring and seductive to a culture of spoiled youth who have builtup anger inside and want to express their madness. It will no doubt lead millions to hell alongside him if he doesn't ask for forgiveness.

Man.. Every fucking thing we do makes us who we are. Our minds also control all of our actions, well, at least i think so. Which means that how we label ourselves, and what groups we join, matter. Well, of course not that much. *SPOILERSPOILERSPOILER*


On a long sight, nothing matters. Eventually, you die. :D
I choose to live ... Vicariously, i guess. I like having self-consciousness, and it helps me satisfy my needs. I only need myself to be satisfied. Cause life is fucking perfect, if you look at it the right way.

i have to say that maynard has the mind in which can be opened in so many ways possible he is or source to conciousness. i find that he knows how WE feel in certain aspects in life. and he most likely feels the same. i love this because you are always judged on society for what we are how we look and where we come from. i think this is about more than religion my freinds. open your eyes.

wow... my faith in humanity is renewed after reading your post. Kudos, fellow mind. :)

You are totally correct. I'm so glad there's someone else out there who realizes the important parts of life. It doesn't really matter if "God" exists, or if Jesus existed, or what happens after we die... what matters is what we DO, How we Live, how we treat others, not how we label ourselves, or what groups we join.

If believing makes you happy, then good! If something makes you want to treat others kindly, great! If you understand that how we live and love and interact with others is the important part... i think you win at life. That's the whole point... DO right, not just think the way you're told is right. :)

i dont know if im a christian but i know i try to be as christlike as as i can. when people ask me why i believe in christ, i just admit that it makes me happy. it makes me happy when i try to be a good person and to treat others right even when im wronged. alot of christians out there ARE wackjobs. jesus wouldnt act the way those people act. anyway though its ok to question god when good people are struck down, but its not ok to allow hate/anger to overpower all thought. its hard sometimes but we're only human and sometimes we are weak. we just have to keep trying to do the right thing whether there is a god or not

manyard is an atheist and always has been. i see some people trying to say he was religious, but not anymore. stop. get a clue. this song is one of my most favorite APC songs. there is no such thing as this "heaven and hell" shit. people living under the ground in fucking lava? please. adam and eve? first things ever on earth? what about dinosaurs? oh wait...the people who wrote the bible didnt know about them yet...sooo that whole theory is thrown out the window. its a nice novel. it makes for a great story. but as something to take as absolute fact? no.

good christians? is there such a thing? every "christian" i have ever seen or met has been out of their mind. im talking lost in space.

i just find it hard to believe god created everything in 7 days. with water and sky and sun and w/e else when modern science proves that planets are forming in thousands of years. just odd...and we're the only ones in the entire universe? come on...there's other life forms out there.

wacko jacko's...

It seems as if many people are not understanding this song. Yes when Maynard was younger his mother had a stroke. Maynard is questioning his mothers belifs for so many reasons. This is most evident with "Fuck your god your lord your crist, he did this to you, took all you had. Some people have tried to say that maynard is not trying to down god and i could not find that to be further from the truth. Hes saying that if there was a god why would he do this to you, its not like your the one who drove that spear into his side. Hes saying that his mother was a good worshiping woman with faith in god and none of that paid off. He is trying to figure out how people can be so fucking dumb and blind and it pisses him off that he cant.

Some of what i have read in these posts is very sad. I see people trying to find god in anything. They want to see him so bad they mis interpute and situation they can to make them feel some since of security in their faith. One kid was talking about how his dad had cancer and when the father started to belive in god his cancer went away. He was trying to say this was proof that there is a god. I feel sorry for this person and people like him. Of course his father would change his mind and believe in good, he was weak and weak people need something stronger than themselves to guide them. There are not athiest in fox holes. If all someone can see is the darkness of their test results they are going to try to find the light in whatever they can. Religon sounds great, who woudnt want to hear about eternal bliss. Its when poeple start putting all of their time and faith and hope into god that they fuck up. God did not give you that fucking tumor, the Cigs did and thats why he quit smoking, god had nothing to do with it. And then we have another person saying that if it was not for her hope in jesus crist she would not be here today. I feel so sorry for her. The biggest down fall of man is religion. Religion was used as a way to govern people by fear. Back in the day people needed somthing good to believe in to keep themselves going. At the same time they needed to know that there would be a reward for doing thigs good and punishment for doing bad things. People always want an answer for everything. Religion was a fictional answer to alot of these old questions. Now days we have modern science which not only answers most of these questions, it disproves all aspects of religion in general. To say anything diffrent is what i call blind faith in god. Even though all signs point to something diffrent you still want to have your God security blanket the make your self feel meangiful and important. I think one of the central messages of Tool and A Perfect Circle is to do things for your self. Dont devote your self to a higher power and expect things to be done for you. Get out there and try new things, expirince situations that make you uncomfortable and learn from them. Embrace the random. Religion is the down fall of man. like another post said, God did not create humans, humans created god.

Sorry about the spelling, its late and im not proof reading

all words written is an opinion. i strongly agree with the other reviewer, Melody. i could feel Maynard's wrath and confusion. and i think he is struck in disbelief why her mother never lost faith. now, he is left with the question: "Why?". a haunting question he could not answer. i never know or ever have researched about Maynard but i could say he that loves his mom. losing something very important, something very close to you, something you love and never knew why makes you blame and point fingers anywhere you want to direct them, but his mom... never. but, why is he?
