Propaganda – Forgive Me For
Asking
Question
And this is embarrassing
Have you ever been scared you had no idea what you were talking about?
Yeah, me too
Honestly perplexed
I’ve lied, and so have you
Christians, lying
Like you never had questions
Like you never had a moment when your inner dialogues were all of a
sudden in third person
Like “Are you really buying this? You're lying”
Like your eyes are 100% always satisfied by your spouse
And you don’t need accountability
Neither of which is biblical by the way
Your eyes are never satisfied
Us, overgrown primates with egos and lying
You quote the devil when you declare yourself ok
You get it, but you don’t get it
Like you’ve never planted your Chuck Taylors firmly in the sinking sand
You’re lying
We for centuries sing hymns of grace
And this is why it’s amazing, and if it’s not, you don’t understand or
you’re lying
Which is why your friends don’t believe you
There is just as much Jesus’ blood on your hand as there is his
You sure you understand the cross?
Forgive me for asking. Forgive me for asking.
Muslims, excuse my boldness
But what if you’re lying too?
Like you don’t never have questions?
As if you’ve never wondered why Allah’s ears only hear directionally
And if you accidently pointed it slightly northeasterly
Then you’ve blasphemed
As if the thought has never crossed your mind that the Jihadists have interpreted
the Quran correctly
And you are what we Christians would call, ‘Luke-warm’
Which makes you much more like my evangelist
church Christianity (?) OR evanjellyfish churcianity (?) would allow me to admit
And you can call me on it
I’ll deny it, just don’t believe me
Because I’m lying
I straing at gnats
I straing at gnats
I focus on silliness
I act like God has joined a political party. Just like you
As if you’ve never thought
What if I was paralyzed?
And I can’t make my pilgrimage to Mecca?
Yet I follow the text better than my whole family?
Is there enough mercy for me?
Forgive me for asking. Forgive me for asking.
I know it’s wrong for me to front like I understand your theology as
well as I think I understand mine
But I know we can agree on this
Something is deathly wrong with us
And you smarty pants don’t front
Like the little you know about our universe
You ready to draw conclusions about its origins
Maybe we don’t know as much as we think we do
Science still can’t explain yawning
Like you never took your worldview to its furthest conclusions
That if human behavior is just what protoplasm does at this temperature
Then there is no need for humanitarian effort
Because these atrocities weren’t wrong
It’s just the universe weeding out bad genes
Them is finger nails on chalk board words, ain't 'em?
Them is finger nails on chalk board words, ain't 'em?
You’re lying
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe you’re right
Maybe we’ll find out the day after the world ends
Yeah, I guess we’re all a little inconsistent
So maybe we can just so each other some grace
Forgive me for asking. Forgive me for asking. Forgive me for asking.
Have you ever buried yourself in self-righteous guilt? Huh, me too
Are there fresh tally marks on the walls of your brain’s prison? Mine
too.
Hoping that the count of good deeds outnumber the bad ones
Are your miserable failures your badges of honor?
And when you count those tallies
And the day the good outnumber the bad
Pat yourself on the back
You have joined the rest of humanity
You too are lying
Like you never thought someone might catch me in my contradiction
Yeah, me too
Have you ever think to yourself
I have no idea what I’m talking about
Yeah, me too
Forgive me for asking. Forgive me for asking.
He is saying "evan[g/j]ellyfish churchianity". pretty nice portmanteau imho.
