Review about Bullet with Butterfly Wings Why do people have to be so damn rude. | Reviewer: Hannah Marie Correa | 8/25/09 yeah, i understand the fact that he makes songs talking about how empty god is and how god is never there for him but has it ever hit you that maybe Billy is undergoing some hardships in life and writing some songs about how he hates god can help him through these times? I used to be just like him, and i do understand how he feels, i wrote poetry that sounded briefly the same as his songs and for myself doing that helped me from killing myself, because that was the road i was going on. expressing how i felt helped me from doind so and now i feel alot better about myself. Billy makes exquisite music and you dont really have to listen if it is such a big deal to you about how he feels. I dont understand, people listen to music that they like and if they dont like it they simply change it, why dont you all do the same?? dont make jokes about someone elses hero...because he is MINE!!! I adore him as a composer and a person, and nothing you can say will make me think otherwise. BILLY KEEP MAKEING MUSIC, IF NOT FOR THEM THAN FOR ME! wtf | Reviewer: guy | 1/7/09 why is it that most of these reviews all have something negative about god. yes job was brutaly tested, but come on guys. really. if you think god has really foresaken you, then i feel really sorry for you. i like this song alot but i have never been this proplexed by its reviews. all in all i still respect everyones opinions and still like this song Way off! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/10/08 We are all like Job, because God doesn't do anything for us. Billy Corgan would laugh if he heard the reviews saying to believe in a mythical God. We spin in an absurd existential world that has no kindness, conscience, or ill-will. God is not testing us because s/he is not around to check on the results. Absurdity plus choice equals fate. We are like animals condemned to death. Job and Existence | Reviewer: Dan | 2/1/08 The story of Job is an allegory about the futility of existence. It starkly presents two choices - in the face of calamity and despair you can either 1) abandon God, give up hope and give in to rage and anger and the fact that we live in an empty, meaningless world or 2) keep your hope in God, despite the fact that even God appears to have turned against you. In a sense, Job's despair prefigures the despair of Jesus himself when he cried out before dying on the cross: "My God, why have you forsaken me?" It's a sad indictment on our present day Christianities obsessed with positivism and woolly "feel good" theologies that this profound statement, where even the Son of God Himself experienced total human despair is rarely mentioned, let alone its significance contemplated in depth. It's sad that most Christians would probably condemn this song as "devil's music" rather than seeing it as a real cry to God, heart-felt by many people in this world which can be very cruel and very cold. The line here "I still believe that I cannot be saved" really draws out what it comes down to - a choice, an existential act of faith. You can choose to believe that you will be saved, or choose to believe that you cannot - the thing with God is, he doesn't compel anyone to believe, His grace is a free gift: you can take it, like Job did, or you can leave it. It's good to remember that the story of Job has a "happy ending"...God rewarded him richly in the end for his faith...and this is the hope of those who choose to believe. I must say this song is on the spot about what God truly is in this world. | Reviewer: T.G. | 1/19/08 The word "job" should be "Job" (pronounced Jobe), it is a name from the bible, "The Trials of Job." It is a story about a very rich man who was considered God's greatest servant. God sent out the devil to try Job's resolve in his service to our great Christian God (yeah right). Satan killed his wife and children, burnt down his crops, destroyed his live stalk and placed sores all over his body, just to name a few. So old Job sat on the hill side shaving his head and tearing off his clothes praying to his loving god to take him out of this world as he came into it, still refusing to turn his back on God. The lyrics "now I'm naked, nothing but an animal but can you fake it, for just one more show and what do you want, I want change and what have you got when you feel the same even though I know-I suppose I'll show all my cool and cold-like old job" tell the story of the artist anger towards the suffering he endures in his world of abandonment by God. Hence the lyrics "despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage tell me I'm the only one tell me there's no other one jesus was an only son for you and I still believe that I cannot be saved." This is a grand statement that if there is a god, he cares nothing for what happens to us. I will have to agree. Of course in the "Trials of Job" God in the end gave back to "old Job" the reward of all his riches and love ten fold, for not turning his back on God. Is this really the love God gives those who serve him? My own mother is a strong christian believer and servant of this god and all I ever see is the unhappiness in her. Sounds like she is once again fooled by the man on the pulpit as she puts more money in the plate and waits for her blessing. I must say this song is on the spot about what God truly is in this world. Wow, when i ffirst heard this, i thought he was a psych | Reviewer: Anthony | 6/11/07 Wow, when i ffirst heard this, i thought he was a psych, but after reading the rest, turns out he never was, and never had a Dog to pursue him. I'm still keeping the term show, though.
