about

There is a strain of religious thinking that has become pervasive that seems to think that A) "since them dirty liburul hippies love the environment, we hate it" and B) we are so close to the second coming that it doesn't matter WHAT we do to the planet as all the "right" people will be safe in the arms of god soon enough and rest of us will be stuck down here eating each others brains.

Whatever...

Personally, I think we WILL see a second coming...specifically a second coming of global temperatures not seen since before life formed on this lovely rock. Hope I'm wrong.

lyrics

Generous God

Be fruitful and multiply, in fact...breed like rats.
You know your god's a generous god, he is that.
10 billion-plus mouths to feed, with wants and needs,
so satisfy your gene pool's greed and spread that seed!

Populate every square foot of land
for god is merciful and god is grand
he never gives out more than you can stand
(well...maybe once in a while, but he hopes you'll understand...understand?)

Spread poison randomly around, air and ground.
For the bible says we're salvation-bound, it's all comin' down.
So pump and dump and then say “amen”, why make amends?
Who cares what is left when we ascend, 'cause god's our friend.

Toxify every single drop of water...
the sacred draught of simple lambs marching to slaughter.
Taint everything you touch in the name of the prince of peace
thumping on your bibles, growing wretched with disease.

What a generous god he is.
Your generous god don't exist.

When the air becomes toxic and thin, will god descend?
With nothing left to breathe in but your sins, can life begin?
Will your empty stomachs all ten be filled with divine will?
Will god come down and replace all you've killed?
(Silent and still...forever still...)
