lyrics

If I was Jesus, and I knew all of the crimes committed
By my father, I would have him locked in prison
Furthermore I would abhor such a disgusting dad
Who would have me tortured to death for his unsuccessful plan
My father authored a book
And if it’s true then it’s awful and portrays him as a monstrous crook
A bigot, a genocidal maniac savage who captures women 1
And kills children 2
They say it’s filled with, prophecies of me
But my name is never mentioned so it isn’t obvious to read
Plus with all of the atrocities
I’d be embarrassed and ashamed to claim this god fathered me
I could only hope to know
Why he chose to debauch my mother with the holy ghost
My father failed to note, in fact he lied
That she would be raising a scapegoat to be sacrificed

01. God captures women: Deuteronomy 21:10-13 – “When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife…”

02. God kills babies:
•Exodus 12:29 – “And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt…”
•1 Samuel 15:3 – “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”
•Deuteronomy 2:33-34 – “…and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain.”
