NIN "Heresy" Lyrics. Will I go to hell for singing these lyrics?

NIN lyrics:
"he sewed his eyes shut,
because he is afraid to see,
he tries to tell me,
what I put inside of me,
he's got the answers,
to ease my curiosity,
he dreamed a God up,
and called it Christianity.

God is dead,
and no one cares,
if there is a hell,
I'll see you there.

he flexed his muscles,
to keep his flock of sheep in line,
he made a virus,
that would kill off all the swine,
his perfect kingdom,
of killing, suffering and pain.
demands devotion,
atrocities done in his name.

God is dead,
and no one cares,
if there is a hell,
I'll see you there,
your God is dead,
and no one cares,
if there is a hell,
I'll see you there."

Agreed nod

Proud Wendy & Lisa Asskisser thumbs up!

Politicians should dress like race car drivers, then we'd know who their corporate sponsors are.

No more evil than "Imagine there's no Heaven, it's easy if you try..."

Depends on the person's point of view I guess.


I don't think they're evil, but they certainly aren't Christian. lol


I think it's just a continuation of 'Head Like A Whole' in that it criticizes religion--specifically Christianity. Though the "Virus killing off all the swine" line to me seemed like he was just reaching for a rhyme cause it sort of implicitly implies a belief in a creator--just not a benevolent one.

To me Slayer, Nin, Marilyn Manson - remind me of good christian music. Its like a warning: bad people in the world. Even religious ones mask themselves and are bad. Look out realm!
