I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.

Nice psalm

Category: EntertainmentGodlessness
Posted on: October 9, 2009 11:38 AM, by PZ Myers

Here are the lyrics:

Don't need no god.
Don't need no eternal paternal god.
Don't need no reassuringly protective
good and evil in perspective god.
Don't need no imported distorted,
inflated updated,
holy roller, save your soul, or
anaesthetisingly opiate gods.
Don't need no "all creatures that on Earth do dwell"
be good or you go to Hell god.
Don't need no Hare Krishna Hare Krishna,
Hail Mary, Hail Mary god.
Got no yen for zen, Baghavad-Gita or Gurdjieff.
No Mormon, Methodist, Seventh Day Adventist god,
no absolutes beyond refute,
no reverential preferential Judaic Messianic god.
No Bibles, no Mahayanas, Delai Lhama
instant dharma gods.
Don't need no spiritual suicide or
prefrontal lobotomising god.
Don't need no stoic sexless
anticeptic god.
Don't need no neon crucifix,
no jade Buddhas, no Vedas or Upanishads,
no camels or needles or Papal decrees,
no mail-order ikons, Koran's or Mandala's,
no Sri Chimnoys, Meha Baba's, or Ayatollah's,
no Guatama's, no Manitou, Ouspensky or Marx,
no yin/yang, no tao, no tarot or incense,
no sacred mushrooms
no dianetics,
no Tibetan prayer mats
no "Immortal invisible gods only wise".
Don't need no televised circumcised
incessant incandescent god.
Don't need no god.
I need human beings.
I need some kind
of love.
I need
you.

Very soothing.

No Mormon, Methodist, Seventh Day Adventist god
*blink* Putting Methodist in between Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists? Thought I'd never see it. Hilarious.

Don't need no
apostrophes in plurals – like
Koran's or Mandala's,
Meha Baba's, or Ayatollah's.

But anyway. Nice find. Would love to see more people making the same sort of statement.

As dreary as any other sermon.

Has a little potential. Intro is too long, music is too loud, piece is too long. Delivery is pretentious. Needs to be more cheerful sounding. In short, needs serious editing. Editing is where it's at, after the basics are done. Seriously. I read the first draft of a non-fiction book that had a great story in it, but was in serious need of an editor, as it was barely readable. My friend did the editing, and the book was published and stayed on the NYT Best-seller list for 18 weeks. For every week the book stayed on the list the editor got an extra $1000. It paid a year's college tuition for one of her daughters. (This was a number of years ago).

I agree, the song is not that great... but the lyrics are all right. If someone did a cover in the style of Motorhead, that could be pretty cool. It would go well with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1hi0m1YJ1w

I didn't enjoy that at all. Far too whiny IMO. If you're going to do it, do it properly, a la Motorhead. I'll add to Nebula99's offering @9 with a different Motorhead song on a familiar theme:

Which does of course offer the double-plus-good funny prospect of xtians running scared from those nasty bad boys of heavy metal :-)

Cheers.

Why do people abuse the poor apostrophe?

Those boring lyrics pale in comparison to "Don't need religion", "No voices in the Sky", or "Bad Religion".

Way to go!
Lemmy smokes them and spit them out.

And what do they have against Ospenskia? She we a lot of fun with the werewolf (and I think frankenstein).

What is the beef with Maria?

I have finally found a place I am comfortable, where people are atheists, love science, and listen to Motorhead!
