Dear God

If your not familiar with the song, here's the lyrics:

XTC-Dear God
Dear God,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God.
I can't believe in you.

Dear God,
sorry to disturb you,
but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God.
I can't believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear God,
Don't know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it ain't and so do you,
Dear God,
I can't believe in,
I don't believe in,

I won't believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No Devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You're always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it's the same the whole world 'round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Is just somebody's unholy hoax,
And if you're up there you'll perceive,
That my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in...

It's you,
Dear God.

  • "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

    • Well I figured the quotes would give it away that it was a QUOTE. The message was the important part, not the author. But since you wanted to be anal enough about it.

      Here is another quote for ya...

      "Got it all wrong, holy man. I absolutely believe in God... And I absolutely hate the fucker. "

  • Isnt it hilarious that westerners put a white face on god. easterners put a dark face on god. Asians put an asian face on god. God is CLEARLY a human invention. Anyone to beleive in god is lost and contributes to ignorance and evil.

  • If God is for us, who can be against us?

  • Good post, great song from an underrated, fantastic band.

    If not for my imagination, and the desire to believe in some kind of creator, I'd be an atheist. If god the "individual" exists, with a personality and individuality, then it is a voyeur. Like a kid with an ant farm it may shake things up a bit now and then, but for the most part, it set everything up, and leaves the rest to chance..

    ..unless of course it is omniscient, in which case the future is as clear as the present and More..

  • Ego is the root of doubt.

    Is that simplistic enough for you?

  • God is a myth, and is not real. It cannot be proven like Peanut Butter or Elephants can. Anyone to beleive in god is a lost soul with no hobbies. Religion is the reason for ALL of the worlds problems. Religion creates ignorance, war, famine and evil in every form. End religion, and end the worlds problems.

  • "God's will is beyond your understanding"... but not beyond theirs.

  • Nice vid, mate. god is for cowards. god is for those afraid of death. god is for those who can't face up to their ultimate responsibility. god is a tool to control women. god is for non-thinkers, god is bollocks. god is a big bad myth. god is a toxic slop in an increasingly eco-conscious world. Condolences about your friend.
