The religious part is... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/5/09
It gets religious at "And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors. They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore" The static is protesters outside of an abortion clinic. They tell her she's sinning because she's killing the unborn child (against Christianity). But either way this song is AWESOME and I've listened to it so many times and I'm not planning on stopping soon.
Really good song | Reviewer: Zimmy | 4/18/09
I love this song. I have no idea how religion got put into the discussion. Its pretty sad that some of the reviews I read are about people putting down religion and God. I used to be like that then I had a traumatic experience. I wouldn't have survived without God. So Im not putting anyone down, im just saying that some of you that put Him down, or kick Him out of your lives, will regret it one day. You will need Him one day, guaranteed. I found Him again, and im glad I did. Hopefully none of you will have to go through the same experience that I did just to find Him.
Anyway, like I said, I have no idea how religion got into this, but there is my 2 cents worth, lol. Honestly this song has nothing to do with religion (that i can see, or hear) and its just about doing more to others to make their lives better. Treat them with respect, love them, help them however you can, cause that could be you one day.
Stop with the religion.. Fantastic song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/16/09
This song made me stepp back and rethink my ideology. I now have more compassion for the homeless and those who cannot afford to have children. Some people say adoption is the best option, but those people obviously have never witnessed the life of children in foster care. Most are molested, beat, and suffer from malnutrition; further many turn to a life of "crime" and suffer from severe psychological problems.
Nothing good has come out of religion. More people are totured or killed for religion than any other reason. Religion is just billions of people who all believe they're doing the will of god. They can't all be right. Leave religion put of it- it ultimately makes things worse. THis is an amazing song by the way.
"when one person suffers from a delusion they call it insanity; when many people suffer from the same delusion,they call it religion."
great song!! | Reviewer: britni | 3/30/09
I'm a christian 100% and believe in God with all my heart, however with many christians there is a huge flaw and that's judgement, and that's what this song is about....who's to say these people don't know jesus, just cause they made a few mistakes doesn't mean they don't have a ralationship with god. this song is more less saing the people around them judging their every move are the wrong ones. It's like you hear about someone who gets shot, and everyone acts like it doesn't matter cause they were selln' drugs anyway...they have a family, they had a life just the same as everyone else...same with the girl getting an abortion and the bum on the street, don't judge cause you don't know what's going on in their head. to me this song is more about the judgemental hypocritics, than anything else.
Good song, not religous | Reviewer: Mack | 3/6/09
This song is awesome, it does really make you think about what you have and the way you treat other people. How did anyone bring God into this, at no point is this song religous. Anyways great song with a great message that really makes you think about your life and your opportunities.
awesome song | Reviewer: Julia | 2/10/09
this song is absolutely amazing, everytime i hear it, it gives me chills. makes me stop and think about what i have and makes me grateful. there's so much that people can do for other's and no one ever wants to take the time or spend a couple dollars on someone else. you could make someone's day. it just pisses me off that people turn their noses up and pretend that life is perfect, life's not perfect and if you think it is, you need a reality check, i agree with Haydn about the majority of religious people, but it's not just religious people. but yes, it's a load of crap when they push people away, when they're supposed to be helping people and showing them another path. again, amazing song!
religion, Christ and a better world | Reviewer: Haydn | 1/13/09
well, I am a pastor of a Southern Baptist Church in Texas and we are an extremely conservative church and I too am very conservative theologically, however, I CAN NOT IN GOOD FAITH say that if you turn to Christ that all your problems will disappear. THEY WON'T!!!! The ONLY difference will be that you will have someone there to turn to who will NEVER leave you, forsake you or abandon you. Who will stick by your side through anything you will go through. These ppl in this song need Jesus not so their life will be better but so they can have a friend, someone they can turn to 24/7, 365 whenever they need to. Christ never said that by following him our lives would be easier, in fact he said the opposite, that it will be harder but that we won't go alone. Leave the ppl in this song alone because they don't need Christ so that they can be better ppl, they need fellow Christians to shut the heck up and put their time, money and heart where their mouth is. We as Christians need to be more supportive of ppl who have been dealt a bad hand in life, open up our hearts and time to them, give them food and clothing. Invite them to church if for nothing else than to have a warm place for them to be able to come for a few hours a week. We need ppl to be more humble and compassionate about these types of ppl than to judge them. In fact if ppl were LESS religious and pious then maybe the world would be a better place because it is those same ppl that if a homeless person, homosexual, or abortion patient came to their church they would shun them or at least look down upon them or think that they were not clean enough, healthy enough, pure enough or whatever to be in their church. Its hypocrisy!!! We want you to come to church but ONLY if you look good, smell good and don't make me uncomfortable! Sorry to go on a rant but that annoys the pee wad out of me! As D.C. Talk put it "the single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Christ with their lips and then deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." Its time that we people of faith practice what we preach and pull the Bible out of our rumps because we are acting like a bunch of elitist, stuck up, snobs and that is NOT what Christ came to the Earth for so we need to get over ourselves and start seeing EVERYONE like Christ sees them!!!!!
*sigh* | Reviewer: *sigh* | 1/2/09
Can the people who see this as a religous song please point out any positive reference to any religion in this song? In fact it is religous people who would call her a sinner and a killer and a whore. I am catholic but I see no need to drag religion into this song. Its a great song and we should be discussing it rather than using it to recruit people to catholisism
Jesus is the answer? | Reviewer: Everybody else | 12/22/08
What? So if we embrace the word of God the world will be a better place without sin? Of course you almost never hear of priests getting under-aged girls pregnant, wars, massacres, crusades and bombings in the name of God.. do you? I'm talking to you as the religious masses now (please pass on the message), do you think when you're done blowing each other up, declaring holy war on everybody else and demanding special privileges whilst you do it, the rest of us could have our fucking world back?
Don't use a beautiful song as a springboard for religious conversion. Please.
no | Reviewer: jon | 11/15/08
this song is a great song and explains how a lot of people have it so tough in life. the answer is not to turn to christ. you can't struggle your whole life and worry about if your going to burn in hell. it's just not right.
